Yesterday was the second of two consecutive evenings spent with Patrick Wolf. Whereas Thursday's show (review here) served as Patrick's return to Manhattan, last night was Patrick's introduction to Brooklyn.
The main differences between Thursday's show and Friday's shows were: 3 outfit changes v. 2 outfit changes, a minor change in setlist (see below), a disco cover as Patrick's encore, and yes, if you can believe it, moshing during 'The Magic Position'!
Patrick was once again limited to a 40-minute time bracket of which he utilized quite well, squeezing in a total of nine tunes during the course of his time on stage. Of particular note was 'Bluebells', which I was hoping he'd play at Hiro Ballroom but neglected to - it sounded electrifying last night.
Patrick even threw in a new track entitlted 'Blackbird', which according to the troubadour, was inspired one drunken morning after having an in-depth conversation with a blackbird by his windowsill. The tune, while if not completely then at least partially, rags on Justin Timberlake. In fact, Patrick made it more than obvious that JT was his target by busting out a few lines from 'Sexyback' within 'Blackbird' - the crowd A.T.E. it up.
After the moshing subsided once 'The Magic Position' ended and the band left the stage, Patrick and the gang returned for a disco cover of 'Feels Like I'm In Love' (originally performed by Kelly Marie). I've read a few articles stating that Patrick has a newfound obsession with the '70s genre and he surely made that blatantly clear last night. Requesting some strobe lights, Patrick pranced around the stage with his signature dance moves, and suddenly we were transported thirty years back in time.
All in all, another stellar show. Unfortunately, The Music Slut is failing to make this weekend a Patrick hat trick, as Sondre Lerche is on the schedule for this evening. MisShapers, let us know how he does amongst the sea of asymmetrical 'dos!
