In the same week in early December I was fortunate enough to see both The Naked and Famous on their "In Rolling Waves" tour at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire and Bo Burnham's final show on his "What" tour.

Both were incredible. Whoever was in charge of lighting for TNAF needs to get some recognition - stole the show, gave each song its own unique stage presence.

Burnham was strange. Heard one person on the tube afterwards saying they were "worried about him" and I must say I could see it. Perhaps he was just tired after a VERY long tour, but he seemed far more melancholy and introspective than before. His cyncism came across as more disillusioned than entertainingly facetious. Still, the lovely chap's put it on Netflix for free!

EDIT: Shit, totally forgot. The following week I also saw Hanson. Christ alive they were brilliant. Played a mixture of old and new, full of energy, really interacted with the crowd. There was a nice section in the middle of the show where 2 of them would leave the stage and leave one to do his own song - nice to have each one get their moment.

That and Taylor Hanson's butt.
