Re: Official NC Swing 2015
I was also underwhelmed. We didn't get any of the traffic hell because we decided to pack it up and leave during Bayou. I'd heard enough.
I agree with an earlier comment that the acoustic set kills it. You're jacked up and ready to see the band play. You've waited all winter, you've done some pre-partying in the lot, and you're primed. Then, they come out with an acoustic Rye Whiskey. It's kind of a letdown. I felt the same way last year. I get it; they're opening for themselves. It's a cool concept, but I'd much rather them come out full-band and kill it for the first few songs.
Too many covers, not the right energy, and no crowd connection on Friday. However, Charlotte has gotten some pretty great sets the past few years so we can't complain that much. This show definitely didn't leave me wanting to pack up and go follow them for the next several shows like it usually does.
