This was a will-call ticket concert. Consequently I lined up in the rain for abouot 30 minutes to get in. That's after arriving early. Everyone else that attended laboured as much, if not more, to be there.
Why? Because James Blake is amazing. At 22, he is unbelievably mature and gifted. He has a heavenly voice and sense of rhythm. And despite what people say, if the power went out and his korg died, it would still be an outstanding performance. He is backed by a solid, two-person band.
He is simply amazing. If you are lucky enough to go see him, seize the day.
