I'm actually a total sucker for that shtick-y, brotherly synergy of their fretboard fingering reach-around. (sorry...) I only got to see them 3 times here in Portland, and saw them do that trick every time, and I loved it every time.Andrew wrote: Tue Feb 22, 2022 9:54 am
They were great showmen but their moments of shtick (Dallas stepping up behind Travis to fret a guitar solo while Travis picked it) didn't undermine the genuine emotional stakes of the music.
Great story and memory, I can relate.I think my favorite Sadies moment was bringing my older brother to see them play a very small club In Edmonton, and he hadn't seen them. It was dark black die-if-you-stay-outside winter, I think a weeknight. There were candles on the tables. The Sadies moved through their first set, building up steam like they always did, and when they went into a perfect version "I Wasn't Born to Follow", nailing the harmonies, my brother and I looked at each other with the same "can you fucking believe how good this is?!" expression on our faces.
