David Gray Concert

This article is more of a review of the last concert I went to. The concert was David Gray, for those that do not know him, he is huge in Ireland and writes songs of love lost and pain. I find him to be the greatest thing since Bob Dylan. Gray's songs are very heartfelt and touching, moving you through emotions which very few artist do for me anymore. The concert was overall great, very small and intimate. It simply was not possible to have a bad seat. Gray's voice was extremely strong, which surprised me, as I have never seen him in concert before. The only problem I had with the concert was, I love David's old stuff, the stuff that is rough around the edges, unproduced and raw. he mainly played his new songs off his new album, which was not released yet, so i did not know the songs. He did finish the last set with some old songs, perhaps to make me and many other happy. Overall the show was great, even though I did not know the new songs I loved them and felt i have heard them before. gray's new songs are much more polished and poppy, but still holds all the truths of what makes Gray's singing and songwriting true and heartfelt. Overall i give the concert 4 out of 5 stars, could have been 5 stars if he played something off of the flesh album which I love and put on the same level as "Blood On The Tracks" by Bob Dylan.
