Local Natives at Walt Disney Concert Hall
featuring a 23-piece orchestraTonight was fantastic. I’d never been inside the Frank Gehry-designed building before tonight. The concert hall was much smaller and intimate than I anticipated, creating a wonderful atmosphere for this one-off performance.
They started out backed by a four-piece string quartet playing Wide Eyes, Warning Sign (Talking Heads cover), Cards & Quarters, Sticky Thread, Careful (Television cover), and Cubism Dream. After an intermission they returned with the full 23-piece orchestra for Stranger Things, Camera Talk, Shape Shifter, World News, Airplanes, Who Knows Who Cares, and encored with Sun Hands.*
I’m so glad that guitarist/singer Taylor Rice got to achieve his dream of playing WDCH, just 2.5 years after visiting the space on an architecture class trip.
