secret 16
by Von Villegas on 5/14/25Saint Andrew's Hall - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5The more and more I listened to Imaginal Disk, the more I fell in love with the album. It reached a point where I didn’t really think about the idea of loving it any more than I did, I’d listen to it at least once a week (remember, that’s at LEAST), and I was just very excited to see these guys perform live. What shocked me the most was that I somehow love that album and Magdalena Bag as a whole even more. So much thought and care put into the show. Mica’s vocals are beautiful, Matt is going off whenever he is doing anything, and I love the other guys they brought along too (great choices). Best part of the show was actually a technical difficulty during Tunnel Vision. Everything cut out right as they were building to that incredible outro, and they not only got to the bottom of the problem pretty quickly, but they also gave us this great little jam session as they were getting back into the part they left off in the song. Just a great little moment, man! This might sound like hyperbole, but this may have been my favorite concert I’ve ever been to. Even the opener (Sam Austin’s) was crazy, an absolutely crazy and unforgettable show all around. I plan to see them again next time they tour! I HAVE to!
