This performance was different from the first time I saw him at the same venue last November; this time showed Tom Krell much more
- The story of his car breaking down in "a section of Connecticut where people had no teeth". Apparently, our fearless leader had to wait it out in a Staples until helped arrived, which he described as "one of the most depressing places on Earth".
- Tom Krell apparently met up with Maxwell after a show in New York a few days ago. Maxwell invited him to the studio where they "Took a bunch of ecstasy and listened to Juicy J" until 2 A.M.
These two things were the reason for the performance's bumpier parts, but the highs were well worth the lows. The lack of preparation gave a markedly different feel to the performance than at his previous stop in Beantown, but even an incredibly blitzed HTDW (he was taking bottle shots on stage) is still impeccable.
When he belted out some of the more stirring parts of the album they rang just as true as the sober, polished version, and this performance also showed Krell letting his guard down and going for the gusto which was mostly a great decision.
Dude also rocked a black on white t-shirt depicting Kanye West as a pharaoh, soooo yeah. Epic.
