The audience then commenced in the chanting of Parker’s name, leaving him smiling and waving to fans. “New Person Same Old Mistakes,” one of my favorites, serenaded with melancholy vocals accompanied with pulsing lasers that complemented the funky bass.Īs the show came to a close, Parker took a few moments to thank the crowd talking about how it was his last show in the United States. “Let It Happen,” was a song that everyone had been awaiting, showering the singing fans in confetti as the eight-minute song reached its climax. “Apocalypse Dreams,” an older song that had an added guitar solo that had Parker shredding as his silhouette was enveloped in smoke, was a peak in the surreal nature of the show. Early on in the show, “Elephant,” distinct in its riff, was a rock anthem that had the crowd overflowing with energy as the bass vibrated. The standouts of the concert highlighted the dynamic performance that Parker puts on display, a combination of a light show and performance. Parker’s vocals exceed expectations, with some artists sounding different in person, and the accompanying instrumental was phenomenal with the extending of songs and interludes like “Nangs,” and “Gossip,” that used a sphere of intermittent, rainbow lighting that engulfed the crowd. Lead singer Kevin Parker’s music has one transcending but experiencing it live is a different story.

The concert commenced with a band-made infomercial on the effects of the time-altering experience of the Slow Rush tour, with the screen seeming to bend and distort as it came to a close. Shortly after, we found ourselves entangled in the crowd when the lights dimmed.Īlthough the venue was large, Tame Impala’s production crew did an amazing job at completely immersing the crowd no matter how far your view was.

We nearly sprinted through the crowd, learning that day we had secured general admission tickets. ( Olivia Short)ĭALLAS – The atmosphere buzzed with excitement.
