Grace Potter & The Nocturnals | 9:30 Club | 12.6.2012
WASHINGTON, DC – Night one of a four night SOLD OUT Grace Potter run was nothing less than spectacular. It’s always a bit jarring when any bands sells out 4 nights at the same venue, and with this artist it was no different. You can expect the first night to usually be the best of them all.
Grace Potter is a rock star, and her band backs her with such perfection that everyone in the room was in full focus and concentration of their performance. The spectacle of lights through out the room were wild enough for any tweaker and more advanced for the average concert goer. Movers, christmas lights, disco balls and more painted the rooms rafters like a starry night.
Her set list was strategically created to map out an incredibly captivating night. Ups and downs, jams, covers and breakdowns. It was all perfectly placed. One of the highlights of the night was the acoustic set in the middle of the show. Out of the four or five times I’ve seen her I’ve never had the chance to see her in her acoustic glory like she was this night.
