Great to see Gims, if only briefly
by TJ on 11/10/23I appreciate being able to see artists like Gims and Stromae in the States (and any show after Stromae's Multitude tour will be held to an almost impossibly high bar), but Gims' concert was kind of a disappointment. The opening acts--all 5? of them--were on stage for longer than Gims was alone. He's a good performer and has a great voice, but he essentially played for ~45 minutes. Some of his songs were also abbreviated; other singers' parts in tracks such as "La Même"and "Hola Se?orita"were removed, so the songs were quite short. I would have liked to hear either full tracks or more songs to fill out the show. I'd normally expect a full concert to be at least twice as long as Gims' show. I'm glad I went but wish the experience were longer to justify a weekend trip to NYC.
