How long are their concerts?
How long are Eels concerts? Eels concerts usually last from 45 minutes to up to an hour and a half.
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).
Any act that elects to arrive on stage to the triumphant strains of Bill Conti’s adrenaline-pumping Rocky fanfare had better deliver the goods to back it up. This igneous set from Mark Everett’s Eels was anything but anti-climactic.
