Photos by Paparazzi by Appointment
While Bright Eyes' big spring tour apparently got off to rocky/rockstar start in Milwaukee this past weekend-- with a visibly intoxicated Conor Oberst stumbling around the stage and haphazardly tossing his guitars and himself into the audience, according to numerous YouTube-corroborated reader reports-- it seems Conor found his footing for last night's gig in his Omaha hometown.
According to Laura at Paparazzi by Appointment, this show at the Holland Performing Arts Center went off without incident, featuring a full band and string section adorned in white, with specially-made projected visuals by local artist Joey Lynch. Bright Eyes' tour in support of the just-released Cassadaga (Saddle Creek) continues tomorrow in Denver.
