Did anyone else catch the Kronos Quartet tonight at the Touhill center?
Man, they were awesome. They played everything from, Blind Willie Johnson to Charlie Mingus, to Ethiopian, Mariachi, Turkish, and American music, a beautiful song by the Icelandic band Sigur Ros. When they came out for their second encore, someone yelled out "Purple Haze!" so they sat down and played Hendrix' version of the Star Spangled Banner!
Nothing like an amplified string quartet all feeding back at the same time
They burned the house down! Two standing O's from the crowd. I didn't quite know what to expect here and I was totally blown away.
