On Friday, November 16 Young the Giant<\/strong> had a phenomenal finish to leg one of their tour for their new album, Mirror Master<\/em>, at The Anthem<\/strong>. They definitely finished strong – a four song encore kind of strong.<\/p>\n

\"Lights\"<\/span>\"Lights\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Lights<\/strong> started off the evening with a magical performance. Lead singer, actually named Lights Poxleitner-Bokan<\/strong>, nimbly flitted about the stage with bright red hair, and a strong, yet soft, voice. The venue was filling up, more than usual for an early opener. At the beginning of their performance, and Lights even remarked, \u201cI recognize a few people here from other shows!\u201d During her performance, you could hear the audience singing along, and at some points even loud enough to hear them singing in Lights\u2019 absence. The peak of her performance, getting the entire audience engaged and truly showcasing her talents, was during \u201cLovefool\u201d (The Cardigans <\/strong>cover). Ending their set with their song titled, \u201cGiant,\u201dchanging the last line of the song from, \u201cIf we could be giants,\u201d to \u201cIf we could be Young the Giant,\u201d hyping the crowd for the headliner.<\/p>\n

\"Young<\/span>\"Young<\/span><\/p>\n

While anxiously awaiting Young the Giant to take the stage, the audience on the floor started packing in like sardines, and all of the edges of the upper levels were fully occupied. When Young the Giant appeared, and immediately started playing the title track from their latest album, Mirror Master<\/em>, the crowd went wild. Lead singer Sameer Gadhia<\/strong> theatrically danced all over the stage, beating a tambourine on his thigh, an attribution to the song\u2019s lyrics, \u201cBut tonight, you will play the tambourine.\u201d The band had something special prepared for each song, even if it was something subtle, or something like crowd surfing. Gadhia continued his zestful dancing throughout the evening, and his fellow band members mirrored his energy. This almost palpable energy from YTG is definitely one of the reasons they’re a must-see performance.<\/p>\n

Another pro of live performances is how the band chooses to play songs live, and seeing their raw emotion as they perform their music their own way. YTG exemplified this with a beautiful acoustic version of, \u201cArt Exhibit.\u201d Prior to starting to pick his guitar for the tune, Gadhia explained, \u201cSo we have this series online called In the Open<\/em>, and for those of you who don\u2019t know what that is it\u2019s essentially,  it\u2019s taking our music, taking it outside separating it from the studio; Separating it from the noise, and playing it because we believe that a song should be played, should be able to be played at least, with guitar and vocals. So we figured for this show – this is our last show of leg one of mirror master tour – we figured we\u2019d bring it to the stage here.\u201d  <\/p>\n

\"Young<\/span>\"Young<\/span><\/p>\n

One particularly special moment began with guitarist Jacob Tilley<\/strong> picking the dreamy, but mysterious riff for \u201cFirelight,\u201d and Gadhia explained \u201cSo we figured for this song, you guys could share that part of yourself that you never share with anyone, through a source of light. So, at the end of this song, I want you to put a light up in the air –  a cell phone light, a lighter, something like that – and share that part of yourself\u2026.\u201d It was a a moment of awe looking around and seeing thousands of bright white lights, and the occasional small flame, listening to a soft melody paired with a song about being in love.<\/p>\n

Another memorable moment was during chart topper, \u201cCough Syrup,\u201d from their debut 2011 self-titled album. Clearly a song that the audience was anticipating, their engagement during this song – singing, dancing, phones out filming – was at the peak of the pre-encore performance. The afterglow from this song would linger until the encore commenced.<\/p>\n

Exiting the stage pre-encore after playing, \u201cCall Me Back,\u201d was a nice touch, given the song title. Although the audience wasn\u2019t \u201cwaiting by the phone,\u201d per the lyrics, they were calling the band back out on stage after their departure. The band had a restored energy they brought back out for the encore – they were going to finish strong.<\/p>\n

\"Young<\/span>\"Young<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting off their epic four song finale with \u201cSuperposition,\u201d the audience was hyped back up. Before starting \u201cTightrope,\u201d Gadhia held out his arms and someone garnered him with a sparkly gold jacket – which matched perfectly with his gusto. Finishing their epic four song grand finale with, \u201cMy Body,\u201dguitarist and vocalist Eric Cannata<\/strong> crowd surfed with his guitar to, at least, the middle of the floor. Every member of Lights came back out for an epic dance party on stage that included stage crew members and YTG\u2019s manager.<\/p>\n

Gadhia lingered on stage after everyone had gone off waving, clearly not really ready to leave his audience behind. Their music already makes you want to sing along and move along to it, and then paired with their emotion, desire to connect with their audience, high energy, and planned theatrics – Young the Giant is a must see live performance.<\/p>\n
