DM Stith is a friend of My Brightest Diamond who, like Shara Worden pointed out, has been helping them in their records (adding some extra vocals, etc.). Shara also said it was his first concert (didn’t she?) and maybe because of that, it wasn’t very exciting. Most of the songs were boring. There are a lot of singer-songwriters nowadays and they have to make very original music if they want to catch our attention because most of them sound just the same. Anyway, I’m not saying it was so pathetic, but it was pretty dull.

Finally, My Brightest Diamond started their show a few minutes before eleven o’clock. They were great from the beginning to the end. Shara has such an incredible voice. I know mentioning Billie Holliday would be a sacrilege here, but she just reminded me of her sometimes. That powerful voice was accompanied by two good musicians, a drummer and a bassist. They brought us where they wanted to in every single track. Sometimes it was a delicate song, sometimes a wild flow of electric guitars but the transitions between these different moments was always terrific. It is hard to make a consistent show when you set a different mood in every song you play, but no doubt they made it. Primavera Sound couldn’t start better! - Grey
