Lovely 2 C Goldfrapp at Radio City Music Hall

I attended my first ever Goldfrapp concert last night at Radio City Music Hall, with opener Martha Wainwright. I really enjoyed Martha's folky sound complete with a smokey, raspy voice over an acoustic guitar. My favorite songs from her set was a song called "BMA," which was unexpectedly explicit and a French song that her mother came out and played keyboard for.

The show began with Allison shining through a backdrop of lights, arms spread like wings and singing the opening notes of Utopia. The first half of the concert continued with mostly songs from the band's latest album, Seventh Tree. Allison finally gave us all what we really wanted when she sang songs from the ultra successful Supernature including: Train, Ooh La La, and the show stopper Strict Machine (and a hint of the remix from We Are Glitter). For the remainder of the night, my pal and I caught ourselves attempting to hit those notes from Strict Machine. My only complaint about the show was the choice of venue, why Radio City Music Hall? The venue is expensive Goldfrapp is so dancey, who wants to be seated? Unfortunately this intimidated most concert goers to stay seated during the show, but not I!
