Normally I post about art or music that's inspired me.
Tonight those two subjects came crashing together for two wonderful hours of live music synchronized to film.
I don't have the vocabulary to describe what an immersive and goose-bump producing experience it was.
Not having been able to see Massive Attack live since I threw an illegal party with them at an abandoned cinema on Bleecker Street in 1994, this was really a thill!

While it was cool, and the crowd seamed most excited by Elisabeth Fraser singing many of the covers that the show was made up from, my actual favorites were the renditions of "Just Like Honey" by Jesus & Mary Chain & "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus!
New York Times called it "a documentary collage about the erosion of heroism, optimism and dissent"
The trailer for the show gives a little of the vibe.
