moleshow:
the pictures coming out from these shows are like... fantastic. what are y'all's thoughts on the show?
shoesalesman:
The last four shows ( Shadowland - Talking Light - Wonder of Weird and this one) are all very much alike. I was glad to see this show but it didn't have the same impact like Demons Dance Alone ,Wormwood or Cube-E did.
moleshow:
i think, there, you have to consider a couple of things. currently, touring seems to be a more effective manner of staying financially afloat. Cube-E, DDA, Wormwood all had a couple of years between 'em. the latter two were based off of some pretty socially and emotionally charged work, and they all sort of have the drawback of being spatially inflexible. big shows. takin' up a lot of space. up until RCB, really, that seemed to be an issue they had.. and even then. those tours would currently be quite the affair- lots of crew, lots of setup- time and money. taking into account the costs of transporting, feeding, and giving a place to sleep and shower to a larger group- it's costly.
and the pace of the work is quicker, now. bam-bam-bam, everything is in quick succession. because you have to keep up. defining your place in the world requires this constant reinforcement. you can always keep the attention of those who have been looking, but there are others who haven't. leave more for them to see. live music is just where it's at right now. currently, RCB and In Between Dreams all have this wonderful advantage of almost being accessible to the uninformed.
it's complicated, but i guess i'm fine with it! because the thing is- there are people behind The Residents, and they have needs and they have to work in the same world we do to bring The Residents to us.

Hi Moleshow.
I did consider all of the points you mentioned. And I don't think it's that complicated. Like I mentioned : I was glad to see this show.
And at the same time I was disappointed. I guess that is what this economic approach combined with the
strive for functionality does to me. But ofcourse there are others, I do realize that.

Paris was my first ever Residents show. Yes it had an impact.
