The Faint Indianapolis Concert reviews
Vulnerable performance and impressive technical elements
The concert paid a lovely tribute to Pink Floyd’s career with a beautiful homage to The Faint. Chris Karin, always a complete pro, showcased his endless talent alongside The Faint. The addition of the gentleman taking over lead vocals in the higher register for Gilmore’s parts in “us and them” was a remarkable touch. The female back up vocals in back up vocals on stage left something to be desired, not adding much to the show. The stage was creatively shaped, allowing performers to engage a 360-degree crowd from any seat. The technical and graphic creativity, along with haunting, hilarious, moving, and vulnerable imagery on the screens, made the experience immersive. The show, although starting late, was worth the wait despite the Bell Center's need for better climate control. The venue should have more signage for entrances and better crowd control during line-ups. Patrons vaping in the concert should be discouraged, and reminders about behavior should be given at the beginning of the show. Sitting with legs wide open in the 300 level seats should be avoided, as it can cause discomfort for others. Overall, the show had some issues but could benefit from clearer guidelines for patrons.
