Looking as if they had just come down
off a fluffy cloud of fashion, Air took
the stage and breezed through a quick 80
minute set. New material was relatively
scarce, while old faithfuls made the
strongest showing. A relatively mellow
first few songs including Venus
were easily forgotten once the crowd
pleasers such as Don’t Be Light
and Kelly Watch the Stars picked
up the pace. Ethereal versions of
Talisman and High School Lover
were walked about as well, but the show
closer La Femme D’Argent, brought
the down the house. A dash of improv was
added in to extend the song well over 8
minutes long. Please shoot me if that
bass line ever gets old. Overall, the
set was painted with a thick coat of
lacquer that would please all Air fans.
The house lights were up before the last
note was even finished and I’m sure the
duo was whisked away to a photo shoot
for Louis Vuitton somewhere in Milan.
