A day at St. Thomas, a concert from The Human League
If you would like to watch the video version of this post, it’s linked below:
We made it to St. Thomas in the morning. I had been there several times before and didn’t feel like getting off the ship in port. So I didn’t.
In fact, I didn’t do much of anything before The Human League concert at 6:30. I ate breakfast, posted some, sent several emails, and caught up on my reading.
Human League’s (male) lead singer impressed me with his vigor. He constantly went back and forth, and side to side across the stage – often while singing. It also made him tough to shoot from the not-so-cheap seats.
Because of the way the reserved seats worked out, I had to sit slightly right of center and about 10 rows up. Poor seats by my evolving standards 😁, but Ticketmaster would still charge an arm and a leg for it.
The show started with the theater roughly half full – mostly consistent with the other main theater shows on this cruise. The ship itself is more than half booked, I’m fairly certain. Perhaps the other guests found other, better ways to occupy their time? There is karaoke and at least one other concert going on at the same time, but still. More likely the majority of cruisers chose the early dining and late concert combination.
I thought The Human League did a good job. They grabbed hold of the crowd early and never let go. For their last two songs before the encore, their biggest hits, just about everyone was out of their seats and dancing or whatever. Even I got into it, though I very much doubt it will appear in the highlight video.
Let me close with some pictures from the concert. I assume you guys know what St. Thomas looks like.
