re: Incubus @ Fillmore

A superb show! Ordinarily, a crowd of that size would be overbearing and stuffy, but the energy feeding to the stage was palpable. The band gave it right back.

One of my best buddies drove in from BR and joined me. We had an effing blast; I think we even held hands at one point ("stellar"). But I digress. Brandon’s voice remains elite, and Mike’s guitar tones soared throughout the building. I’m one of the few Incubus fans who enjoys their entire catalogue (with the exception of the most recent album), so there are a great many songs I was hoping to hear. Obviously, they did not (and could not) play them all, but the setlist was tough to poke any holes in. One banger after another.

I have seen Incubus 10+ times, dating back to the SCIENCE tour at Jimmy’s in NOLA. I was blitzkrieg plastered for most of those shows, so I cannot necessarily rank or compare each one of them. All I know is, this show was fun as a mug, and the band was on top of their game all of these years later. So, cheers to Incubus, and cheers to everyone who attended and made the atmosphere so enjoyable!

And now, pardon me while I have a beer.
