Description:
At the time of the Winter 2005 tour documented by MOTION SICKNESS: LIVE RECORDINGS, Conor Oberst--aka Bright Eyes--was among the most reviled and worshipped artists in indie rock. Fortunately for listeners, hype subsides and MOTION SICKNESS leaves the facts: the Oberst of 2005 was a young man in the midst of crafting an undeniable catalog of good songs, and using a newer, more mature vocal delivery to get them across. Only traces remain here of the cloying ticks of his well-publicized youth, and in their wake is a loose, confident persona that can turn a poetical turn of phrase into a pop mantra better than anyone since you-know-who.
The material is largely devoted to the country-rock album I`M WIDE AWAKE, IT`S MORNING, and keyboardist/trumpeter Nate Wolcott and guitarist Mike Mogis lead the band through the album`s standouts--"We Are Nowhere And It`s Now" and "Landlocked Blues, for example"--like seasoned pros. The pulse quickens for energetic readings of "Road to Joy" and "When the President Talks to God"--the two closest things Gen Y has to honest-to-goodness political anthems. Oberst shows off his music geek side, too, with great covers of Feist and Elliot Smith. Any haters who aren`t appreciators after hearing his take on the latter`s "The Biggest Lie" just cannot be reached. For the rest of us, there`s a great live album of a band gaining control over their very formidable powers.
