Pomplamoose put on a great show. It's the first time I've really ever seen a line outside of Pub Rock Live in Scottsdale. Typically, the small venue has only 20-40 people in it. This time, however, the place was packed. Their performance was very enjoyable, but then Jack Conte took it to the next level. I should first mention that the entire time he had more energy than I think is humanly possible. We're talking about PowerThirst levels of energy. If I had even half of the amount of energy he had that night in my daily life, I could accomplish whatever I wanted! Hyperbole aside, he was really enjoying himself--more than the rest of us, I think! Then he had us make a huge circle near the end of the show and told us all that he was going to go absolutely bananas in the circle after some musical build up and for us to pretend like it was the most amazing/crazy thing we've ever seen. We complied happily. After this insane display of dance acumen, he brought someone else into the circle. After the brief build up, they BOTH went nuts and the crowd "pretended" like it was amazing. I say we pretended, but in reality, it really was amazing; not a single one of us was pretending. Then those two brought two more people in. This repeated until the circle ceased to exist and the entire audience was going crazy after the build up. It was a really fun show and Jack's energy really took it from a good show to a fantastic one. P.S. Thanks, Jack! :)
