I think that almost everyone at Field Trip was amped to dangerous levels to see
The Constantines. They said "see you around" in 2010 and just started doing gigs again this year to coincide with the 11th anniversary reissue of
Shine A Light. They were quite obviously missed.
The sound also led to the feelings of intensity of their set. Overall, it was a loud, massive wall of sound, with the bass frequencies cranked to 11 (only to be possibly surpassed by Chvrches a little later). Here are some tunes from their
set. Really glad I got to see these guys live.
"Draw us Lines" from
Tournament of Hearts was an awesome opener. A slow build of intensity.
"Nighttime/Anytime (It's Alright)" from
Shine A Light.
"Shine A Light"
"On To You" from
Shine A Light
"Young Lions" from
Shine A Light
"Hard Feelings" from
Kensington Heights
"Time Can Be Overcome" from
Kensington Heights
"Tank Commander" from
Shine A Light
And they closed with "Arizona" from their eponymous début
I took pics at Field Trip with my iPhone. Hopefully next year, I'll be in the photo pit with my better gear.
