I just got back from the James Blunt concert at Webster Hall here in New York City. I was standing in the Atlantic Records VIP area throughout the entire performance and there was quite a buzz going back and forth about digital distribution and how James Blunt is/was #1 on iTunes.
Being #1 on iTunes is quite a feat and it's certainly showing in his concerts: Webster Hall was sold out this evening and tomorrow, it's sold out as well. The amount of people singing in the audience in his first "big" show in NYC was astonishing...everyone was singing along to not just "Beautiful" but to many other songs.
One thing to note: There were tons of cameras and cellphones held high throughout the entire performance. Look for many pictures popping up on Flickr. The show was actually much better than anticipated. The band came out strong and maintained a solid crowd buzz throughout the show. It was a good first concert for James @ Webster Hall.
