Recent tour reviews

I've never seen Houndmouth live before but I started listening to their last album a few years ago and was hooked on their vibe. Super mellow, super chill, filled with mini-jam sessions, love all their songs. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they all share vocals on a lot of their songs. This is a multi-talented band and I'm so glad I got to see them! :)

Great show! I live in Fishers and have been attending concerts at Nickel Plate since the beginning. The renovations are awesome. The sound quality and stage set up are much improved. Houndmouth is very talented, with a unique & diverse sound. They are very good live and bring a lot of energy to their set.

Very good show at a wonderful venue. Not a bad seat in the house and we arrived about 10 minutes before the opener started! Service was great as well! Would highly recommend seeing Houndmouth live in concert. The addition of the saxophones provided a very jazzy touch.

Houndmouth’s 1 Night 2 Night 3 Night Tour: Live in New Orleans

Indiana-based blues/rock band Houndmouth performed three shows in an intimate venue in downtown NOLA. Suddenly, I love Houndmouth even more.

Stream: “mckenzie” – houndmouth.

S ince moving to New Orleans a few years back, my absolute favorite part of living here has been the music scene.

This should come as no surprise, as NOLA is known far and wide for its legendary music venues and, of course, for being the home of jazz. Living here has given me access to a wide array of music and entertainment that is entirely new to me, and it has broadened my musical horizons considerably. It has also allowed me to revisit some old favorites if they happen to roll into town (and luckily for me, they often do). When I heard that Houndmouth – an alternative blues/rock band from Indiana – were playing three shows downtown, I knew I had to be there.

Houndmouth set off on their 1 Night 2 Night 3 Night Tour in late September, cruising into venues across America and performing at each for three nights in a row. In early November, they performed at Toulouse Theater in the lively French Quarter in downtown New Orleans (a famous neighborhood renowned for its music, history, food, and culture) and I was lucky enough to be in attendance for their second performance.

The band came out of the gate with their song “Darlin’”, a yearning, emotional anthem from their 2015 album Little Neon Limelight .

Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’ Why don’t you sleep at night? The colder the heart The warmer the gun

“Darlin’” is one of their slower tunes and it was a great choice to start the show as it enabled them to build toward their faster-paced, rock-leaning tracks in their catalog. It is also one of their more recognizable songs, so the crowd was immediately engaged.

Everyone in the intimate venue knew all of the lyrics and loudly sang along, filling the theater with the palpable electricity that only good music can produce. Toulouse Theater was the perfect venue for this show, featuring an entryway equipped with a bar leading into the mezzanine area; an open floor space with yet another bar and a large stage at the far end. The sound filled the room completely, and it was easy to get up close to the stage despite the substantial crowd. The performance I attended was the only time they kicked off their set with “Darlin’” throughout their shows in New Orleans, and I was so glad I happened to choose the second night to see them perform. It was the perfect way to set the tone of their show, and the venue was filled with a sense of camaraderie from the very first notes of the song.

The performance lasted about 90 minutes, featuring an array of tracks from across their studio albums. The crowd enjoyed the concert in typical New Orleans fashion: Dancing, drinking, and enjoying some awesome music. I cannot emphasize enough the sense of community I felt within that theater. Houndmouth truly brought people together, even if just for a short period of time. If I had to make a critique (and I am really nit-picking here), it would be that many of their songs have a very similar sound, making the middle portion of the show a tad monotonous and a bit of a blur. It did not take away from my overall enjoyment of the concert whatsoever, but I do think it is worth mentioning.

There were a few standouts that really caught my attention, including their performances of “McKenzie” and “Miracle Mile” from their 2021 album Good For You and “My Cousin Greg” from Little Neon Limelight . “My Cousin Greg” is a really fun track with funky lyrics, incorporating all of the band members’ voices and instruments in a really interesting and unique way.

Hey Greg Where’d one of your shoes go He looked at me and said That’s not important Please don’t you point Your photon ray gun at me

 If anyone’s attention had drifted away, it was drawn immediately back to the stage by this performance.

Perhaps the most exciting moment of the night was the encore, when they performed “Sedona,” their most popular track – and the one that introduced me and many others to Houndmouth, serving as a gateway to their catalog. Folk, blues, and rock n’ roll come together to create a song that is impossible not to enjoy, which was reflected by the crowd’s extremely positive response. When the recognizable riff that threads throughout the track began to play, everyone in the theater whooped and cheered. At this moment, Houndmouth had the crowd in the palm of their hand. It is safe to say they delivered with their rousing rendition of a fan favorite, bringing the audience together for their final tune of the night. When they reached the bridge, the crowd nearly drowned them out as we all chanted along to the lyrics:

“Hey there Sedona let me cut you a deal I’m a little hung over and I may have to steal your soul”

“Sedona ” was an incredibly satisfying way to end the show, leaving everyone in the audience with that post-concert high that truly reminds us music-lovers of our reason for living. While this may sound a touch dramatic, anyone who has ever fallen in love with live music knows exactly what I mean.

HOUNDMOUTH RETURN TO THEIR ROOTS WITH RICH, RUSTIC STORYTELLING ON NEW ALBUM ‘GOOD FOR YOU’

I can say with full confidence that houndmouth’s performance exceeded my expectations..

I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to see them perform in such a humble venue in a city steeped in musical history. New Orleans has an extremely high bar for musical performances, and Houndmouth met it with ease. All the vocals, harmonies, and instrumentals sounded exactly like their studio versions except, imbued with the energy of the band and the crowd, they were infinitely better. I walked out of Toulouse Theater wishing I had attended all three of their performances in New Orleans, but I guess I’ll have to wait until they come ’round again.

Taylor Swift's New Album Continues A Sad 18-Year Trend That The Eras Tour Setlist Avoided

• The placement of the breakup ballad "So Long, London" as the fifth song on Swift's new album, The Tortured Poets Department, continues Swift's trend of making soul-bearing songs track 5 on her albums.
• The Eras Tour setlist narrowly avoided this trend by placing the touching and romantic "Lover" as the fifth song Swift performs in the show overall.
• The very next song after "Lover" on the Eras Tour setlist is her deeply personal song, "The Archer," which is track 5 on the Lover album.

After just barely avoiding it in the Eras Tour setlist, Taylor Swift continues one of the longest-running trends of her career in her new album, The Tortured Poets Department . On April 19, 2024, Taylor Swift released her highly anticipated 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, along with a surprise second installment containing 15 additional songs. Altogether, there are 31 songs in Swift's The Tortured Poets Department : The Anthology double album.

It has yet to be officially confirmed whether Swift will add The Tortured Poet Department songs to the Eras Tour setlist , but some Easter eggs in a YouTube Short of Swift during rehearsal hint at the addition of a TTPD set when Swift resumes the Eras Tour on May 9 in Paris, France. As is, one song tradition that's been preserved in every Taylor Swift album is noticeably absent from the Eras Tour setlist, but The Tortured Poets Department has kept it alive.

Taylor Swift's New Album Surprises Mean A Sequel To Her 4-Year-Old Disney Movie Has To Be Coming

The tortured poet's department continues the trend of sad track 5s, the fifth track on every taylor swift album is always deeply emotional.

On The Tortured Poets Department, Swift continues the established trend of making an emotionally raw song track 5 on the album by placing "So Long, London" in the loaded slot. On the crushing "So Long, London," Swift finally bids farewell to the titular UK city and her lover after spending too long trying to salvage their broken relationship. Many Swifties speculate that this heartbreaking ballad is about Swift's breakup with her British ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, whom she lived with in London for many years. It was announced back in April 2023 that Swift and Alwyn had parted ways.

While Swift has been bestowing sad songs with track 5 status ever since her self-titled debut album in 2006 , it was a subconscious habit until her fans pointed it out. “ Track 5 is a tradition that really started with you guys ," Swift explained in an Instagram Live session one month before dropping Lover in 2019. " I didn’t realize I was doing this, but as I was making albums...instinctively I was putting a very vulnerable, personal, honest, emotional song as track 5 ."

On The Tortured Poets Department, Swift continues the established trend of making an emotionally raw song track 5 on the album by placing "So Long, London" in the loaded slot.

Some track 5s, like "All You Had To Do Was Stay" on 1989 or "Delicate" on Reputation, are not nearly as devastating as others, like "my tears ricochet" on Folklore or "tolerate it" on Evermore. However, these more upbeat, light-hearted songs still fit the bill since she bears her soul in the lyrics more than any other track on the album in question. Swift's most famous track 5 is arguably "All Too Well" from Red , which many fans consider to be her best work to date.

In 2021, Swift released the original, 10-minute cut of "All Too Well" as a "vault" track on Red (Taylor's Version), where it serves as track 30.

What Taylor Swift's All Too Well 10 Minute Version Lyrics Mean

The eras tour narrowly avoided taylor swift's 5th song trend, the fifth song on the eras tour setlist is "lover".

There was no expectation that Swift would maintain the track 5 tradition on the Eras Tour since it's a concert setlist as opposed to an album tracklist, but Swift nearly did anyway. The Lover era opens the show, and the fifth song of the Lover set and thus, the whole Eras Tour setlist, is the album's title track . "Lover," which is track 3 on the album, is one of the most romantic songs in Swift's whole discography, so much so that it's been solidified as a "first dance" wedding staple since the album dropped five years ago.

Had Swift arranged the Lover era just a little differently, "The Archer" easily could have ended up as the fifth song on the setlist, corresponding with its placement on the album and furthering her sad song streak.

There Is Only 1 Thing Missing From Taylor Swifts Career After The Eras Tour Movies Success

After "Lover," the following and final song of the opening set is "The Archer," a harrowing, introspective examination of Swift's personal flaws and insecurities in her relationships. "The Archer" is track 5 on the Lover album , but track 6 on the overall Eras Tour setlist. Had Swift arranged the Lover era just a little differently, "The Archer" easily could have ended up as the fifth song on the setlist, corresponding with its placement on the album and furthering her sad song streak.

Swift's performance of "The Archer" on the Eras Tour was initially excluded from The Eras Tour movie in theaters, but was later included in the VOD and streaming versions.

Thanks to the precise order of the songs of the opening Lover era, Swift narrowly avoided the track 5 trend on the Eras Tour setlist , whether she meant to or not. If Swift does add songs from The Tortured Poets Department to the setlist, she will likely have to remove songs from other eras, which could affect the remaining songs' numerical placements in the overall show. Depending on whether Taylor Swift makes cuts to the Lover era to make room for the TTPD set, the Eras Tour setlist may end up joining the sad track 5 club after all.

No one rocks like The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger, band thrill on Hackney Diamonds Tour

HOUSTON − It’s not only stunning, but it's somewhat miraculous that more than 60 years after their first tour, the Rolling Stones are still filling stadiums.

It’s even more head-spinning to realize that along with their treasured hits, the Rolling Stones are enhancing their set list with a trio of songs from last year’s well-received “Hackney Diamonds” – their first album of original material in 18 years and the impetus for this 16-city tour.

We’d call it a victory lap, but frontman Mick Jagger is better suited for marathons.

At the kickoff Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston, the core triumvirate of Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood – along with their supporting cast of exceptional musicians and singers – hit the massive stage to the sounds of Richards’ slashing out the riff of, fittingly, “Start Me Up.”

Jagger, the nimble CEO of Stones Inc., peacocked in a silver shimmering jacket, his elastic legs a mere pedestal for his rotating torso.

Richards, still owning his disheveled pirate look with a knit cap and multicolored scarf dangling from his hip, and Wood, grinning continuously and occasionally scampering down the lengthy catwalk, retained their roles as faithful consiglieres.

There isn’t a patch of smooth facial skin among them (Jagger and Richards are 80 and Wood is 76). But with the energy to plow through an 18-song, two-hour set – yes, shorter than previous Stones shows, but still fulfilling – no one is looking to crown them pageant winners.

While the band needed a couple of songs to fully find their groove – the striding cadence of a reworked “Get Off Of My Cloud” and a ramshackle “Rocks Off” felt curious rather than robust – Jagger compensated with his riveting presence and still-supple vocals.

Along with the “Hackney Diamonds” songs plucked for their major live debuts (the band played a few of the new tracks at an intimate New York club gig in October ), including the feisty “ Angry ” and encore of gospelized “ Sweet Sounds of Heaven ,” the 1966 tune “ Out of Time ” also received its U.S. debut. The band revived it last year during some performances for the overseas Sixty tour.

“I don’t think you really knew it, but you got to know it,” Jagger said with a smile after leading the nearly full stadium through the arm-waving chorus.

As typical for a Rolling Stones production, the stage ran the width of the stadium, blanketed with screens beaming images of the band with magnificent clarity. Close-ups of drummer Steve Jordan, who assumed rhythm duties after the death of original drummer Charlie Watts in 2021, joyfully thundering through the gem “ Paint It, Black ” and birthday boy Chuck Leavell ripping out a fleet-fingered solo on his Yamaha keyboard on “Honky Tonk Women” offered fans a peek at the magic happening a few feet behind Jagger and Co.

During the always-visceral “ Sympathy for the Devil ,” as serpents and fire crawled across the screens, Jagger prowled through the sinister groove, augmented by percussion provided by background vocalist Bernard Fowler and chunky bass lines from Darryl Jones.

Keyboardist Matt Clifford added French horn to “ You Can’t Always Get What You Want ” as Jagger, playing an acoustic guitar, strolled through the message of acquiescence that escalated into a gospel throwdown.

The horn duo of Karl Denson and Tim Ries coated many familiar anthems – “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Miss You” among them – with their rich brass sounds. But, as fans have realized over the decades, the ominous “Gimme Shelter” remains a centerpiece of any Rolling Stones concert, and Jagger has a new onstage playmate in powerhouse background vocalist Chanel Haynes.

The woman who starred as Tina Turner in the West End musical of Turner’s life and officially became part of the band last year steamrolled through “Gimme Shelter” with a voice blaring attitude and vigor. As she and Jagger strolled the catwalk, sharing vocals and chemistry, Jagger wisely backed off a couple of times, allowing Haynes to unleash her theatrical verve.

But this is still Jagger’s circus, and whether he’s bobbing like a jittery prizefighter or wiggling his shoulders like the world’s most slender Chippendales dancer, he is an octogenarian who captivates.

The band has enlisted various openers throughout the tour. In Houston, blues-rock guitar ace – and Texas native – Gary Clark Jr. landed the opening-night slot and for 45 minutes enchanted the mostly full stadium.

With a large band – five musicians, three background vocalists – behind him, Clark was the epitome of cool in dark shades and a bandanna as he took the stage with “Maktub” from his recently released fourth album, “JPEG Raw.”

Clark is a big name for an opener (then again, it is the Rolling Stones) and he used his time well with massive licks on the crunch rockers “Bright Lights” and “This is Who We Are,” with singer Naala joining him.

The soul-inflected “Feed the Babies” seared as a set highlight as the singer/guitarist displayed sizzling playing and a breezy vibe for the crowd.
