Didn't catch any of James Pants.

The dude in the robe also played sax - sometimes two at a time



He had a record player stuck to a bike helmet that spun a reflector over his head for one song. It was funny to watch him hold the helmet strap & balance the spinning record player as he performed. I liked that it seemed to be one of those things that didn't get thought through very well.

It was a fun show. He drew several of his songs out into jam sessions - beatboxing with different electronic effects and dancing around - a few were drawn out a bit long for my liking, but the guy is versatile. Lidell can sing and I think his voice was better showcased when I saw him perform solo at the Larimer Lounge last year.

This show had projected video with appropriated clips & live shots. They added filters to the video at times like you might expect at a concert for a big name band. Nice addition that was well done.

hey Jenna - any additional thoughts?
