Passion Pit Berkeley Concert reviews
Mixed bag
I have mixed feelings about this show, discovered Passion Pit about a year ago through Pandora and similar services, and really like both of his latest two albums, Prisoner and his self-titled album. Some background is necessary first. There are elements of 80s Bruce and Tom Petty, such as Downbound Train, I'm on Fire, etc. Passion Pit was originally a country singer who seemed to experiment in almost everything under the sun in the rock and country world in the 2000s. I saw Passion Pit was coming so bought a couple tickets. Later, I found out this worried me because today's country music is about the last thing I would listen to, except maybe for rap. So I checked set lists of his recent shows and they looked good, heavy on these two albums with many of his country-ish rock hits - not much pure country.
In Berkeley, he only played 4 songs from these two albums, the above mentioned hits and about 6 very country songs. While the new songs and his big hits were very good, these country songs bored the hell out of me. I've never sat down and stopped paying attention to a concert but here I did. My girlfriend told me, “I can't believe you brought me to a country concert.” To be fair, Passion Pit doesn't use the very annoying country twangy guitar, grating male country singer affected voice, or foolish cowboy hats. He is also a very good guitar player. So if you're a country fan, you probably would have liked the show, but I left feeling let down. I still love the latest two albums and recommend them to everyone, but I don't think I would go see Passion Pit again. It's too much of a risk to spend the money and be bored for a significant amount of the show.
