Manicman--the co-founder of this group turned me on to Godspeed about two years ago. I immediately shared his affection for their music and, like manicman, found there were times that it was the only music I wanted to hear. They became a niche band for me. After purchasing tickets to see them weeks ago (all 3 of their Chicago shows sold out) I worried that I wouldn't be into "their type of music" on a Friday night when I am used to a little more up-beat type of partying. Foolish me.
Last night Godspeed did a two hour show and then came back for an encore. It ranks as one of the fastest two+ hour shows that I have ever seen. Brilliance doesn't begin to describe what they did last night.
