It was a solid gig that showcased a great new set of songs from a master craftswoman, and it felt good to have her back again.

Kuepper proved to be a likeable guy and was generally happy to indulge the audience, playing some choice cuts such as By The Way, Swing For The Crime and Sixteen Days from a career that spans about 40 years and counting, and shows no signs yet of coming to an end.

From their sound to their showmanship, these guys are definitely on top of the world, and don’t look to be coming down from that high anytime soon.

Katchafire’s sound was perfect, passing on good vibes and ultra-chill sounds to the eager and gloriously stoned crowd.

Every detail of this show – from the carefully selected and timed lighting design to the band’s seasoned rapport with the audience – is already finely honed in anticipation for Imagine Dragons meteoric career trajectory.

Singles Resolution and, of course, Brother result in a sing-along complete with waving Zippo lighters. Corby knows exactly when to pull the punches to intoxicate the crowd via that voice.

The band persist well into the third hour of a show that would’ve been far more effective in a small, beery bandroom – especially the second half.
