Last night Voltaire played his very last show in his very first full-band tour right here in Ithaca. Of course, I was there, and of course I have some pictures!
The last time I saw Voltaire perform with his full band at Blacksun III, where the performance was limited due to time restraints and the number of bands that had to perform. This time there were no such limitations, so there was time to play all the crowd favorites. It was a really great show and while I do miss the banter you get during his solo performances, I appreciate the chance to hear his music as it sounds on the CDs. Unfortunately I was too busy dancing and having a good time (and lending my real camera to a friend to collect video footage) to take more than a blurry camera phone shot of the show:
After the show I posed with him:
And then I got an Ithaca tour date poster signed, which I am going to have to frame and hang near my signed Creature Feature poster.
On a related note, have I ever mentioned how a google image search of ‘voltaire goth’ currently returns two different images from my site on the first page? Yes, apparently I have.
