This may be the most exquisite concert I've ever seen. I obsessively watch it over and over. As beautiful and dramatic as their recorded music is, to see them perform it live provides a whole new dimension. They sound so much alike that you can't tell which one is singing by the sound, you have to see them. And they way they trade the lead back and forth effortlessly, as if they were reading each others' minds is astonishing. OK, I know they practiced that, but it still amazed me.
One of them will be singing along and suddenly there is a gorgeous harmonic there in the sound and you see the other twin with the microphone up to her mouth. The music that they write and record is beautiful, but watching them perform it is truly amazing. The harmonies, syncopation, timing and interaction is spectacular, and not obvious in the sound, you have to actually watch them do it to appreciate it.
They are manic. They dance, gyrate, jitter and bop around the stage. Every few minutes they touch each other--squeeze shoulder, arm around waist, hold hands. It says, I love my sister and we're in this TOGETHER. It's endearing. At the end of "4ever", Jessica climbed the guitar player and tackled him to the stage, with him still playing as he fell over, while Lisa grabbed one of the drummer's sticks and began beating a cymbal. They are just so much fun to watch.
I first began listening to this band when I heard raucous, driving rock-pop with suggestive lyrics like "Take Me On the Floor" and "4ever". But seeing these two perform ballads and love songs like "All I Have" or "Mouth Shut" has suddenly got me listening to other genres. I can't wait to see what they release next.
