Inasense Concert Livens Yeshiva

On January 27, the Chabad club sponsered an Inasense concert, held in Belfer Hall's Weissberg Commons. Though certainly not one of the usual New York hot spots for an Inasense show, the Commons proved more than adequate for the evening's event.

Hillel Glazer, a Yeshiva junior opened at 9PM. for Mark, Noah, Jay and C. He played six self-written songs, and those in attendance including relatives and friends, hoped that this opening gig would serve as a decisive step in his illustrious musical career.

The event became a Carlebach dominated evening for the eclectic band. Inasense played what many called an amazing set, exciting the crowd with a dazzling guitar solo during "Dovid Melech Yisrael." Approximately 150 turned out for the show. During the intermission between sets, students enjoyed refreshments and a D'var Torah from Rav Metzker. Following the break, Inasense took the stage again for its second and final set.

The second set proved to be even better than the first. The band broke out with their concert staple "The Ride," a song off their second album. Inasense then continued the set, heavily dominated by a combination of their own songs and covers from other artists. Nevertheless, the band still played a few more Carlebach tunes including "Listen to You," which they dedicated to the Lebavitcher Rebbe. Toward the formal end of the second set, Inasense added "Sugaree," a Grateful Dead tune, bringing a smile to students' faces. The show closed in Kumzitz style with everyone sitting on the floor, eyes fixated on the band, as Noah and C played a few songs off their latest album "A tribute to Shlomo Calebach."

The evening was a huge success and many students applauded the Chabad Club for bringing Inasense to Yeshiva University. Those students who missed the show can purchase a copy of the concert on the Inasense web site (www.inasense.com). The set list for this show and all other Inasense shows in the last year are also available on the web.
