Concert Review: Jet w/ The Blue Van (12/2/06) - Page 3

They were onstage for over 90 minutes, including the three song encore, and they have won a new fan in me. Jet has a stripped down straight rock and roll sound and they play it well. During "Cold Hard Bitch," Nic balanced on the railing that goes around the pit area, completely circumnavigating the pit, all while continuing to play. It was a great thing to see, something he partially repeated during the final song of the set proper. They left the stage briefly, before returning for a three song encore, which still left us wanting more.

Overall, this was a great show, lots of rock music played well, a large receptive crowd, and a number of new fans created in the process. I may not have known much of the music, but I certainly got into what I heard. Live music is always a strong lure, if its rock, and it rocks, I'm there. Best I can say is, if Jet and The Van pass through your town, do not hesitate, get out there and see them. You won't be disappointed.
