Vermont’s Grace Potter is currently on tour in support of her debut solo album Midnight (Hollywood Records). Although billed as strictly a “Grace Potter” show, it felt very much like a regular Grace Potter & the Nocturnals show, with over 60% of their set featuring Nocturnals songs, including some of their biggest hits, on the encore: “Apologies” (a request for a fan), “The Lion The Beast The Beat”, and “Paris (Ooh La La)”.
Unlike previous Nocturnals shows, Potter is actively dancing and bouncing back and forth throughout the night. Plus “costume changes” like putting on her cape (during “Timekeeper”), taking off clothing on “Nothing But the Water I” and removing shoes for “Medicine”. The latter song, she invited the audience to come closer and dance.
While the State Theatre is a great venue for watching and listening to concerts, it just felt wrong for both Potter and her audience. Her fans were interested in drinking/dancing and having a good time and simply aren’t used to a sit-down (and quiet) theater environment.
More details later.
