The band played most songs from Titanic Rising and a handful of songs from Front Row Seat to Earth. Bonus song during the encore was a Lou Reed cover! Such a heavenly voice attached to a super cool, kind person. So very glad to see Natalie getting the recognition she deserves-Titanic Rising is probably the AOTY for me, and there's still a few months of 2019 to go. After the show she came out after 10-15 minutes backstage and was really happy to engage with fans. I brought her a pair of handmade jewelry and a few days later she shouted me out on social media. Some interesting bits about this particular show in San Diego: Opener Dustin Wong was very unique- I had never seen someone sit onstage creating intricate soundscapes with pedals/guitar loops/etc. It was pretty avant garde and not really for me, but I appreciated his creativity and unique approach to music. Secondly- God, I really hate the Irenic as a venue even though it's for all ages shows and it's nice to have people under 21 to have a place to consistently see concerts. It got SO hot in there (never felt that before) and I felt like I was melting. It was nice that Soda Bar/Irenic management brought a ton of cold Yerba Mate to the venue for free, but I honestly would've appreciated water or some fans running.
All in all, despite melting into a sweaty puddle, what a great show.
Isis, by Bob Dylan was the song that played initially before adorning the stage and things regarding Weyes Blood all made sense. I adore this years release of Titanic Rising the current album from Natalie Mering aka Weyes Blood.
A lots gonna change, the opening track of said album was the opening track of the set, gorgeous in all its grandeur,made for the perfect set up to a beautifully harmonious concert. Her voice is amazing. She hit all the right notes. She alternated between tracks of her previous albums and the new one with seamless precision. Her on stage presence was sweet and adorable, engaging with the crowd between tracks. She covered Procol Harems a Whiter Shade of Pale near the end of the set which she sung beautifully. Finishing with a solo acoustic number called The Beginning, ironically.
She is lovely with a sublime voice. 10/10.
Natalie is from another world!
She has THE most beautiful voice I have ever had the privilege of hearing live, I was in tears for pretty much every song. WEYES BLOOD are mine and my wife’s favourite artist right now, but unfortunately my wife was unable to attend last nights show due to illness.
We have already purchased tickets for Natalie’s show in October..... I predict more tears.......double the amount!
Thank you for the music Natalie.
Much love from Neil and Kirsty xx
She was insane! So so great and the whole atmosphere, band, lights and effects was all incredible-one of the best artists I’ve ever seen live!!! As the show went on she just got better and better and more into it, the vocals were great as well as her stage presence and set list.
She's brilliant. I could listen to her sing all day. She started with the heavenly 'Take You There' and then continued to leave the crowd breathless for the rest of her set which included a great cover of Lou Reeds 'Perfect Day'. Looking forward to the next time she's in town.
Amazing voice and band is so cohesive, venue was perfect for her style. The lights were awesome too and really well done. The Rialto was perfect for her vibe and the order of the set list flowed really well. Obviously « movies » was over the top amazing as per usual.
Natalie Mering/Weyes Blood is probably one of the best live singers I have ever seen. There is never anything less than pure magic that leaves her mouth. The whole band is very talented and puts on a great show. Also, their covers are THE best.
Absolutely sublime performance. Weyes Blood touched the audience with a marvelous "repertoire". She is a sexy genius artist.
Absolute voice control and chemistry that perhaps spread out some feelings that audience can't forget too soon.
Great show that proved quite flawless at the Phoenix Concert Theater. Weyes Blood is a wonderful musician that can connect with the audience through great music and a little onstage talk. Hope to see her again.
