[ATTENDED: November 21, 2021] Nada Surf [rescheduled from May 28, 2020 and April 18, 2021]
This is my third timing seeing Nada Surf and I decided that S. needed to see them as well.
This was the third time for this show and I was delighted that it finally happened. And at the nearby (relatively) White Eagle Hall.
My plan was to not get too close to the stage, but we were so early that it was hard not to get too close (especially as the taller guys start filling in the gaps).
The one difference for this show was that bassist Daniel Lorca was not there. He had hurt his leg and had to miss the tour.
Friends, we sadly have to report that Daniel can’t be with us for the November US tour due to knee and ankle injuries he recently suffered. In his place will be the band’s longtime friend Ed Valauskas of The Gravel Pit. Here’s to a speedy recovery!
I wasn’t familiar with The Gravel Pit, but Valauskas did a great job. Although I did miss Lorca’s dreadlocks and unique bass sound.
Their set was an excellent mix of songs from throughout their nine song career. It was interesting that they essentially played all of the songs that the previous time I saw them in 2020 (one of the few bands I saw in 2020), but they added all of the new songs on top of it. So this concert was six songs longer! (more…)
