Jun. 12th, 2005 12:32 pmSaw Morcheeba at the Caribana festival last night. As those people on my flist may or may not recall from this post (and my public readers wouldn't, since I just unlocked it like now), I was really interested in hearing how Daisy Martey, the band's new vocalist on both the album and tour, fared on the old classics.
Daisy wasn't there anymore, either. A girl named Jody did the singing, and it was apparently her first time performing. For a debut, I guess it wasn't bad. However, after hearing Skye, and on top of the initial disappointment of Daisy not singing, I felt kinda miffed.
For those people who are interested, here are the songs in roughly chronological order, as I remember:
Lighten Up (A)
Otherwise (C)
Blindfold (BC)
Wonders Never Cease (A)
Part of the Process (BC)
Everybody Loves a Loser (A)
Trigger Hippie (Who)
Ten Men (A)
Be Yourself (FoF)
(I could swear there MUST have been something else here, because a couple of us moved to a different part of the audience during this time, and I was pretty sure I heard the entirety of the next song from there, and we were all dancing during Be Yourself. Must be a set-order memory problem.)
Antidote (A)
Encore: The Sea (BC)
Encore: Rome Wasn't Built in a Day (FoF)
I may or may not be missing a couple from the set, but looking at my iPod's songlist, I think that's everything. Charango, my personal favorite album, is criminally underrepresented, but they included the signature songs from all of their albums, which is nice.
Musicwise, the Godfreys and the instrumentalists were quite good; I've got no complaints about the renditions of the songs.
Jody was the weakest link of the group, but that's expected. Although she did her best to hide it, she must have been really mortified to be up there (especially considering the shoes she had to fill). Lighten Up sounded pretty good, but Otherwise was cringe-inducing, and she jumped the gun a bit on Be Yourself. However, as time went on, she got more and more comfortable and really nailed the last two songs on the head. EVERYONE was dancing when Rome Wasn't Built in a Day played. And man, can she wail on that sax of hers.
Overall, I liked it. Whether or not it was worth purchasing the ticket solely for the show is a different question altogether (one of my friends had a choir concert earlier that night, so I went from one straight to the other) is a different matter altogether.
