What can I say about this band? Everytime I see them (this would be the 6th) they seem to deliver a better show than the last. With the new record Kingdom of Rust, I was eager to see how the new songs would play out live. From the opener Jetstream, the energy onstage eminated out to the crowd and returned to the stage ten fold.
The rich soundscape that they create is astounding and at the same time simple. The crew bounced effortlessly from new track to classic catalogue numbers including Snowden, Pounding and Black and White Town.
These guys are also very engaging on stage, pausing between numbers to acknowledge the crowd. On this night, Jimi, Jez and Andy were particularly playful with the spirited Chicago crowd.
Favorites for the night were Kingdom of Rust, Caught By The River, 10:03, Here It Comes and of course the closer There Goes The Fear.
If you are ever looking for a guaranteed great night of live music, you can do no better than Doves!
