Joel fucking Plaskett
Joeeeeeel concert was last night. The man came out sporting a beard, which I wasn't entirely sure I could support. Observe:
But by a couple songs in I had grown accustomed to it and decided it would actually be snazzy when he got the sides grown out more. And then the first set ended and when he came back out for the second set he was clean-shaven lol. So, I guess that wasn't a very long lived endeavor.
Show was awesomeee <3 He played quite a few old songs (a couple Margaret didn't even recognize, blasphemous!) along with the newer ones, and all was goooood. The crowd was ridiculously into it, I think everyone there sang almost every song along with the band. I especially liked when the band was playing the intro to one of the songs (for the life of me I can't remember which one) and Joel was still messing around with guitars and getting some water when he would normally start signing, but the crowd started for him and sang the entire first verse before he stopped us by declaring they were "just jamming" for the time being haha. He seemed amused and informed us he was just going to take the night off since we knew where to come in and all the words without him heh
I can't remember a set list for the life of me, and the encore was more like a third set than a couple of songs, and he even came back out a fourth time bless his little heart. Playing halifax must be a huge ego boost for the boy lol.
Have some pics!
Chris moves to the beat too much for my poor little camera to handle without a flash, so he's good and fuzzy
As per usual, Joel brought his dad out for a couple songs
I could not get Dave Marsh in a shot for my life, lol. It was sad. The girl on stage here is Ruth Minnikin (sp?) who he brought out for a couple songs as well
And for the final encore he played Fashionable People from behind the drum kit, which didn't work well for my camera either but I tried...
I miss his adorable-ness already :( lol. I have yet to be disappointed by a Joel show, love ♥
EDIT I had videos here but lj took them out? idk. Lets try again.
Here is a clip of Joel being amused by the crowd singing Love This Town:
LJ apparently will not let me embed videos, jerks. So... click here instead lol.
And click here to see a video of half of Nowhere With You
I have added a couple other video clips now, including a bit of bearded singing if anyone is interested :) The entire album is here.
