The Wong Way
Back in July 2006, I bought my first digital SLR camera. The very next day, I brought it with me to Siren Festival in Coney Island. Although the shots from that concert didn't turn out too hot - too far away, too much of a novice with the camera - I wasn't deterred from future attempts at concert shooting. Ultimately, I decided to start a musicblog, titled The Wong Way, featuring photos I took from the concerts I went to. It ran regularly from July 2006 to December 2006 and while I'd like to start it back up some day, I prefer to just enjoy concerts from the sidelines. But who knows what the future will bring, right?
The Rapture @ Apple Store SoHo, NYC 12.09.2006
Setlist:
Pieces of the People We Love / Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks / The Devil / Get Myself Into It / Killing / Whoo! Alright, Yeah… Uh Huh / House of Jealous Lovers / The Sound
The Rapture played a free in-store performance at the Apple Store in SoHo in support of the release of their latest album. They played a mix of songs from both albums with an obviously heavier focus on Pieces of the People We Love. The only hiccup occured during “Get Myself Into It” when they stopped just after the first verse, apologized for messing it up, and started the song right up again.
Another reason for coming to this show – I was curious as to how a band whose music is conducive to dancing would play for a seated audience. For the most part, the audience was still, save for a few who danced in their seats. When they got to the last song of the set, the band led the audience in clapping and dancing, finally getting the audience up and out of their seats.
