It’s a common technique that when participating in a race that requires a certain amount of physical strength and stamina, it’s best to save your strength for the final stretch. That seemed to be the approach that Brooklyn-via-San Diego rockers Delta Spirit took last night at House of Blues’ Cambridge Room. The 90-minute show started slow but gained momentum and finished strong. While the guys were playing large festivals all summer, they seemed to really relish the smaller Cambridge Room, even though their extensive gear (they made use of two drum sets and brought in their own LED light display) barely fit on the stage.
