Fischerspooner (Mezzanine, 26 August 2006)

This is a tad late, but the Fischerspooner show at Mezzanine a couple of weeks ago was just amazing! Fischerpooner were true to form and they put on an elaborate show that kept the sold out (and high paying) crowd entertained from beggining to end.

When I first saw Fischerspooner a couple of years ago at the Fillmore, Casey Spooner was practically lip syncing the entire set, with no reservations whatsoever. Now, he is actually singing and dancing with a full band. Costumes and all.

Although there was no large fan or him dressed up in his skivvies like at the Fillmore show, he did put on a fantastic show full of dancing. Here's a video I found on YouTube:



A little shaky, but you get the point.

All the hits from Odyssey and #1 were played. Including favourites "Emerge," "The 15th" and "We Need a War". At one point, he played "Emerge" but changed it to another song. This was just an elaborate set up obviously because they did play that song at the end. Baloons were released from the roof and all this confetti was flying all over. There was crowd surfing from the band too.

Fantastic!
