I like alcohol, but I wasn’t drinking. I like dancing, but there wasn’t room to move. I like parties, but I felt as if I was crashing a sloppy frat kegger. And while I possess unconditional love for old-school R&B, I could hardly hear Durand Jones & the Indications over the din of drunken conversations. Saturday’s sold-out show at RecordBar was an enormous letdown. Opening band Ginger Root never stood a chance. A friend tweeted that “I’m not sure I’ll see a better live show in 2019.” Well, the performance by the soul revivalist band wasn’t even the best concert I attended in the past week. I rave about a quartet led by Matt Otto at Plastic Sax. Last night’s appearance by the Norwegian brass band tenThing was also superior. I posted amusing footage at Instagram.
