We went to see Maroon 5 in Falconer Salen (Copenhagen) December 2nd 2011. And we never
regretted.
It was an excellent concert. The band peformed great. The venue on the other hand, was not that
good.
First, the main act:
It was Maroon 5 like on their best albums - all of them were swinging, especially the
guitarist. They were really enthusiastic. The band was Adam Levine on vocal and also guitar once in
a while, and he had brought one guitarist (James Valentine), one bass player, one drummer and two
on tangents.
The concert started with their big new hit Moves like Jagger (instead of saving it for the middle of the concert) and instantly the crowd got in
the mood ... The first 30 minutes
they delivered hit followed by hit, with no breaks. The crowd was singing and dancing. It was
tracks like Harder to Breathe and Sunday Morning (live on video from the concert below).
... and hits like If I Never See Your Face Again and Makes Me Wonder and more funky tunes. The
following 10 minutes they played smaller hits and quiet songs. Afterwards the rest of the
concert was right up in pace, with songs that suddenly lapsed into Tina Turner's What's love got
to do with it, or with guitar / vocal Battle, guitar solos and a metal rock intro on a single
track (Wake Up Call, seen below, however, this clip was filmed without the intro). Quite
entertaining for a pop band and although the audience was very spread in age, they all
partied.
The opening act:
Was a singer / songwriter, Emily King on Guitar, and she was so incredibly boring that people weren't listening but chit-chatted, waiting for her to leave. She had a dude playing the guitar and electronics, he gave a small boost to the boring warm-up. We were, after she went, no hotter than before she came.
And now: the venue:
It was a canceled / postponed concert that should have been played at Vega, that unfortunately was moved to Falconer Salen. Vega has a nice concert venue, as opposed to Falconer Salen (despite Vega sometimes lack in service, they will close one of many queues to the wardrobe due to lack of hangers in one row and people must get back behind a new queue downstairs in the lobby and faintly hear the band you payed to watch, play the first 2½ songs, while the staff from the closed wardrobe disappeares, maybe goes upstairs watching the concert?!) Falconer Salen were in full control of the queues for both wardrobe and bar, but people can't see much - the scene is too low and the shorter people can not see the band. like they can at Vega. And the sound at Falconer Salen was bad ... when paying kr. 400,- it should be near perfect. The only upside is I probably would have no tickets if they were playing at Vega, since our tickets were bought just before they got sold out in this bigger venue.
Conclusion:
An awesome concert with a great band, which despite the venue and opening act delivered a Truly Great evening.
