This was a particularly exciting show, as I had family visiting from back home and was very excited to take them to a show at the Beachland! Especially being Akron/Family, who I thoroughly enjoyed last time I saw them. Leave it to this scenario (where I'm showing someone the Beachland for the first time) for it to be a completely different experience than normal. We walked in to the band being set up in the middle of the floor. Case in point:
It was an interesting setup and it played nicely with the crowd - but this was a completely different experience than before. Last time it was just this amazing non-stop jam session. This time, there was much more engagement with the audience (which always makes me a little nervous). I think part of the issue was that there were just generally less people than last time (and in a larger space). That didn't stop Akron/Family from rocking out though. They were as avant-garde as ever… I'm not sure my guests entirely appreciated it, but I still did. I'll be looking forward to a new release from them coming sometime soon.
