Dead Can Dance 2012 Tour

Went to see Dead Can Dance last evening at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia.They are out in support of their latest release "Anastasis". Two 2 song encores, and a final single song encore.

Absolutely stunning performance, including a nice mix of old and new material. If they are playing anywhere near you, and you like their musical style, you owe it to yourself to catch a show.

I took my 15 year old daughter and she really enjoyed it.

Beacon Theatre in NYC is great, but Radio City where I've seen them 10 years ago is simply the BEST.

Thafler-

I was surprised at some of the outfits. Did you happen to see the woman in black lace with the horns in her hair?

No, I would have loved to seen that. I did see lots of black lace though - it was like an Addams Family convention.

I was also surprised to see the goth scene still going strong after all these years. There were quite a few fans dressed in their sartorial splendor.
I saw them 2 years ago in Maryland. I was amazed to see the diversity in the audience. Of course there were plenty of old fat guys like me (undoubtedly audiophiles), but even more people of varying ages in Goth dress. The guy sitting next to me was in his late 30's (I estimate) in full Goth attire, and tattoos on every inch of his body (that was showing), and dozens of ear/nose rings. There were also a number of young college kids - fairly straight laced looking.
