The legendary venue provided the perfect backdrop to an impressive lights show and highlighted the exceptional musical capability from the Montreal band, whose 2001 track "Brother Down" catapulted them to fame. The Lo-Fantasy tour provided a pleasing mix of earlier tracks (like "Love at the End of The World" and "Fixed to Ruin") while promoting the 2014 album with singles like "Shapeshifters" and "We're All In This Together", and Roberts peppered in comments, anecdotes and thank-yous that spoke volumes of his amiable character. The guitar solos proved that rock music will never die, as each member showed off his skills in riffs that had the audience moving.
After the show, Roberts stayed behind to greet fans who rushed the stage to meet him - thanking them for coming, wishing them well, asking about their thoughts of the show, and telling them to stay warm. The simple yet personal touch brought the show to a whole new level - the intimacy allows already awed concert-goers to connect to the musicians in a way that most concerts don't provide.
Sam Roberts Band puts on one of the best shows I've ever seen, and spending the night with the talented musicians proved an experience that can't be forgotten.
