acoustic show

Nick played a show last night at Muse. There were two other people that played before him, but he was the best by far. He brought so much more to the acoustic show than the other performers. He has really solid vocal and guitar skills, and his music is interesting. And I don't mean interesting in a "hmmm...that is nice," kind of way. His songs are musically interesting, with dynamics and good rhythm. His shows are also visually interesting. The audience doesn't get bored when he plays. You just never know what will happen next. He pulls musical instruments and choirs out of thin air (and yes, all of it is still acoustic). Just watch.

This song is a Nicky original. Definitely one of my favorite songs ever.

This was their last song and it really surprised everyone in the audience (but the surprise doesn't hit until the last minute).

The three part harmony was planned and practiced before the show. Mickeal and a bunch of friends were sitting in the back for all three shows, pretending to be like everyone else in the audience. During this last song they joined in and you can see the people in the front rows were really surprised. The video doesn't really give the performance justice. It was a very cool surround sound kind of experience.
