He was playing with two drummers (body-shaking bass, seriously), bass/backup vocals, rhythm guitar/steel guitar, a chick on synths/backup vocals, and an ancient dude on synths/trumpet. It was a powerful combo, and they used the contrast and buildup techniques quite well.
It was also a great crowd, despite it's being a lot of highschool kids. Ravi and I were like surrounded by a mob of them, which made me feel oddly old. They loved Conor though, and since Rav and I were like 3 feet back from the stage we got to watch them grab Conor's hands and stuff, swooning. At the end of the concert, they pulled him off the stage and people went wild touching his hair, one greasy kid even making out with his ear. Ravi went in for the head touch, but I was so shocked and worried about Conor hitting the ground that I stayed rooted to my spot.
Ravi and I were thoroughly exhausted from dancing after the concert and passed out in the train home. What a great night. Check out facebook for a video clip. Here are some pictures of the babe himself for you to enjoy. Yes, I was that close to him.
