I was in attendance at Sense Field's performance on April 21
at The Roxy in Boston. The band informed the crowd that they had just
unloaded their equipment and hopped onto the stage. This was my second honor
of watching Sense Field perform, and I must say that they did not
disappoint. They played for approximately 40 minutes, (I am now extremely
jealous, having read the review of their 70 minute set!) and played songs
from each album. Due to time constraints, between-song conversation was
minimal, which is unfortunate. When I saw Sense Field last September, I
found the comments from all of the members extremely insightful and
interesting. I also noticed that many people in the crowd were unfamiliar
with the band. Unfortunate. However, that had no effect on my complete
immersion in the music. Watching Sense Field perform is an amazing
experience. I hope that the next time Sense Field performs in Boston they
will not be performing first, and thus have more time to play. I certainly
could listen to them perform for hours. While watching Sense Field, any
worries that I had at the time were absolutely erased. I hope that anyone
who reads this can relate, but hearing Sense Field brings me so much joy
that I can't contain myself. They are truly phenomenal.
