No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

Last night I was one of the lucky ones. I was able to see Florence + The Machine at The Wiltern. Amazing doesn’t fully describe the show… I was blown away by how good this show actually was. The crowd was a little restless, but when she came out all was forgotten. Nothing else mattered but the music and Florence Welch’s soaring vocals. She was born to sing and boy does she belt out each and every note with perfect pitch and tone.

The set list began with Drumming Song and from the first beat of the drum beside her microphone, I was hooked. If I could, I would be seeing her again tonight at her last show in LA. Florence + The Machine is a band you never want to miss live.  Nothing can top her high-reaching vocals, delicate quirky melodies and her fantastic performance. She engages the audience and has the magical ability to get the whole theater jumping up and down happily to the final song for the evening, Dog Days Are Over. Phenomenal.

Catch her live on Saturday Night Live – Saturday Nov. 20th
