And just like we were back occupying a space watching a live band. Part of it was like it had never been away and the other part was the odd part of strange. The venue a huge temporary tent structure like a giant long gazebo with a stage at one end and socially distanced seating 'bubbles'. There was app ordered waiter service for drinks - that could catch on. It was both comforting and strange to be back in a space with other people and a live band in the same space.
It was great to see the Staves on stage again singing those gorgeous harmonies and touring their wonderful new album 'Good Woman'. they did reach back to songs like 'Mexico' and the non-album gem 'Tired as Fuck'. That song perhaps voiced what we were all thinking after the 18 month long haul of Covid 19 restrictions, setbacks and anxiety. We are all tired as fuck. The Staves got there first unintendedly but the song now .
Performing as a duo - eldest sister Emily is at home with her baby- the Staves sound as strong as ever thanks to well placed harmonies by replacement Rob you'd hardly know. Welcome back.
