The band is known for being crazy and having really energetic shows, so I was a little apprehensive of the crowd and just really unsure of what to expect. The band came on a little late (about 10:15pm) and played a relatively short set for an hour, almost half-half from their two albums. And though Karen O sounded...spacey...the show was pretty tight and had a real energy to the sound.
Her voice was not always in tune, but it worked with her vocal style and the music, and it was still really lovely during Maps. They played it with the full backing at first, then Karen O said they were going to try something they'd never done before because she felt like it (I may have taken a few obscenities out for that paraphrase) and that was a great acoustic version of Maps, just her voice and an electric guitar, and it really is a great love song, with an indie rock feel. And the band seemed like they were having fun, with Karen O throwing herself all over the stage (without any mishap) and wearing crazy sparkly pompoms on her head and at one point spinning half a disco ball on her head in time with the music. All in all, a fun experience.
