Hands down, my favourite night of my life. So I just got back from his Boston performance (4/8/2015). If you ever happen to read this Damien, I was the one saying I love you in French. Don't get me wrong, I love Damien, but it didn't seem as personal as his Montreal show that he play November 21, 2014. I really think that audience/venue/mood play HUGE factors in the whole experience of the show. In Montreal, he played to the audience and was extremely charismatic. He came out of his shy, introspective shell and gave, what I thought, was the performance of his life. Literally, he had us all at opening of his show Elephant Gun to the close of his multiple encores, I Remember. Each song felt like a personal letter or almost personal ode that almost seem to say, I'm so sorry, things will be okay. Perhaps, as well, the performance felt like my favourite artist giving me a personal it's okay/healing moment as my boyfriend and I had just broken up two days prior. In any case, when he came out to sing The Professor/La Fille Danse, the audience went absolutely NUTS!!!! Most definitely, it was because he was trying to charm us with his broken French (hehehehehe awesome Damien). Additionally, his Volcano was awesome when he got the audience to sing the chorus. By far, though, the highlight of the show was when we invited an audience member on stage to role play Cheer's Darlin'. So he had admitted to us that he had gone to sushi and was already slightly "tipsy" from sake when he came on stage, but that's tots cool. We love you through and through Damien. Anyways, he begins the song by pouring them each a glass of wine and begins recounting the story (do you notice he changes it every time he sings the song??) So while he sings the song, he proceeds to finish off the bottle of wine with her, then orders a second bottle of wine for himself (she orders the rest of the sake to come on stage. As she stumbles off stage, he continues to strum and sing, though he forgets some of his lines (oops, its okay). Throughout the rest of his show he periodically checks up on her. Literally, though, his performance was probably the highlight of my 20s. Hands down the best concert that I have EVER seen in my life. He had like 20 encores (each time he said that he would stop because he was going to get fined for playing more, the audience booed and said keep going....we even insisted that we would pay the fine for him if he did get one). For a set that was supposed to only last 1.5-2.0h, he played nearly 4. I think the only reason he truly stopped at I Remember was a) he was out of new songs to play and b) he was starting to drunk to the point of forgetting lyrics and claimed he had to be functional enough to get on a plane in NYC the next day. Also, it was the last show in his mini-tour of North America. I love hearing that brogue of yours, Damien, and I love love love hearing your charming nature. I will never forget that performance. I wish I could see you again in Montreal. I love you, Damien, and I cannot wait to see you again.
