The eclectic and enigmatic Eels played to a seasoned crowd in Webster Hall, New York after a 4-year wait, delayed by the pandemic. The band’s attire was coordinated as ever, this time in suits (I prefer the matching tracksuits).
There is an excruciatingly long wait for the Eels after the lights go down. The entire spoken word track “A Good Day to Be You” off of MC Honkey’s album I Am The Messiah plays.
