This was good. I missed the layers of orchestration - and production - which dress up the songs on record, but Natalie Mering proved to be a strong singer, with the ability to open her throat more on the big moments and convey the shifts and dynamics in her undulating, long-lined songs.
She got through most of Titanic Rising and Front Row Seat to Earth, along with a (live debut) version of "Forever Young" and one older one. It didn't shed any particular new light on the songs for me - though I liked the way she used "Movies" as an epic main set closer - but I enjoyed it.
