Nick Lowe at Shibuya Quattro (8th Nov '02)
What else needed?
 |
I was allowed to take photos for the first 2 songs of the show... Only for 2 songs... "Just a man standing on stage with a guitar... You would not need any more than that!" was the reason I hear.
But how could I possibly let people know about rich music of Nick Lowe with a phew photos? Especially here in this site, we do report a show with photos only and it seemed impossible to do so only for 2 songs.
|
Then again, it was not an easy job to take a photo as the audience was dead calm trying to hang onto every words of the songs he was singing and every sound of his guitar singing as well.
"Even I could hear the shutter of your camera..." smiled Nick after the show when we had a chat.
I guess he was not making a complaint but putting his appreciation of the loyal audience into some words.
For our request, on the last evening of the tour, I was allowed to take some more from the audience after the 2 songs, but nothing was different. Even to get to the end of the audience area, nobody is making noise, but just facing to the stage and listening to Nick.

However, I ended up to admit that no photo could tell you about this amazing show enough although every one has got a story to tell...
There was nothing but a man standing with a guitar on stage which might be boring to those who are used to contemporary rock or pop or whatever might be called, but what else would you need to enjoy real good music. A good song with a good heart is good enough to give us heavenly time and the evening with Nick Lowe did prove the simple and obvious truth of music.
