I've never been a person much for going to concerts. I like them just fine, but more often than not I find myself feeling a little let-down, even with some of my favorite groups. It's seems rare to find both a great artist and a great performer and the older and broker I get, the more willing I am to stay home, rather than go out and try new things.

Fortunately for me, my college will occasionally bring us free shows and its under this circumstances that I got introduced to Blitz the Ambassador.

Now, I'm going to be upfront--Blitz is solid, lyrically, but he's not amazing. A good, standard underground type guy, as far as a I could tell. But man alive, could he put on a show. He played to a crowd of only about 50 students, but he it was like he was playing to a crowd of thousnads. He put all his energy and heart and skill into and gave me one of the most enjoyable concert experiences I've ever had. At the end of the night everyone (including him) was grinning and dancing and having a great time and, shit, how often do you get to say that about shows?

So, buy the single or not, but if you have a chance, go see him live. As concerts get more bloated and impersonal, as performers get lazier, and as more people show up just to be obnoxious, performers like Blitz will be harder to find. See him while you can.
