Duncan Sheik at the Spiegeltent at South Street Seaport on Thursday, August 17 2006.

Ken has an extra ticket. Ken's cool. Everyone say "hi" to Ken.


The Spiegeltent is a sort of vaguely circusy, cabarety-looking portable concert hall. From Europe.


The Spiegeltent comes with an outdoor beergarden. It's a beautiful, clear night, lots of lights, great view of the bridges and water.


Inside the Spiegeltent. Lots of wood, glass, and mirrors. If not for the canvas ceiling, you'd never know you were in a circus tent. Much nicer than I expected.






Opening the show is Vienna Teng, who I've never heard of before, but who has a bunch of CDs out and is very, very cool. Consider me a new fan. Unfortunately cannot get any good pictures from our first seats. Our second vantage point is much better for pictures-taking.






Milo's a sexy beast, no?






David Poe jumps onstage for "White Limousine":


That David Poe's an energetic fellow:















The show, needless to say, kicks ass. Tons of energy, even on the "mellower" songs like "Star Fields" and "Such Reveries". Sometimes you forget what a great guitarist Duncan is, on top of everything else. Gerry, Milo, and Doug are in top form. I don't get to bed until past 2. There is nothing more to say.
