I think what I dug most about experiencing Koop Live was that the music hearkens back to the 30's and 40's ... in my mind the last era when music was primarily experienced live.
From the dawn of human history to the 1920's, you had to be in the presence of musicians and singers to experience music. From the 20's through the 40's, more and more people experienced music via radio, but it was still live performances they were hearing.
Since then, I daresay the vast majority of human music experience is via recorded sound.
So it was supremely swell to dig the Koop sound and vibe LIVE ... it just seemed so
right.
It was nice to have Magnus and Oscar up there on keyboards and laptop, but Hilga, the chanteuse, really made the night something special. I loved her. Classy and vampy.
Not Afraid: She was like a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Courtney Love.
