In short: if you missed it, you missed a hell of a show. 21 songs with three encores. All sounded amazing. Crowd was into it. They were into it. Great setting at the Saenger.

Highlights: Keep Your Eyes Peeled and My God is the Sun sounded better than ever. Head Like a Haunted House was straight fire. Burn the Witch added a local guest on harmonica, which, believe it or not was great. I thought the best song of the night was You Can’t Quit Me Baby, though. Fantastic.

Opening act Wolf Alice was solid.

Overall night was entertaining top to bottom.

As a side note, friendliest concert crowd I ever saw. Everybody was talking to everybody. Super crowd last night.

Loved "Keep Your Eyes Peeled" with the singer of Scissor Sisters. They probably played this because they skipped over New Orleans after ...Like Clockwork came out.

Head Like a Haunted House was incredible as well. Great show!

First QOTSA show. Excellent all around, but tough to get up for Jazz Fest the next morning!

top 3 show for me after i've had time to digust it. it may have been the best show i've ever seen.

85 year old bobby rush getting on stage and playing harmonica for "burn the witch" and "make it witchu" was a highlight of the night. the light show was top notch and the bands energy (especially mikey the bassist) was next level.

nola got more songs than the other tour stops so far.

QOTSA needs to visit new orleans much more often. A+ show.

Agree with all of this. Crowd was very...different... where I was (center balcony). No standing or anything. Felt kinda restricted. Guess I need to get back to the floor.
You Can’t Quit Me Baby was my highlight. The light show was amazing all night but definitely during that song. Mesmerizing.
