Greetings! I wasn’t familiar with the Editors’ music, but the band’s Denver show happened to fall on my birthday, and I was familiar with the two opening acts, Hot Hot Heat and Louis XIV. So I told my wife it’d be a fun way to spend my birthday. Well, we enjoyed the two openers, but the Editors blew us away. The band’s sound system was so loud, it made the hairs on my arms move. But even at its most frenzied, the music was crystal-clear; every note, every beat, even Tom Smith’s breaths between lines were not only distinct in the mix, but I could place them spatially. The light show was, by far, the biggest and best I’ve ever seen at the Ogden Theatre. And the band’s style and songs were great. I went out that weekend and picked up *The Back Room* and *An End Has a Start*. Terrific stuff! Thank you, Editors, for an excellent birthday party. (I never even knew you cared!)
