This was my first time seeing Young the Giant in concert and boy were fans in for a treat! I really can\u2019t think of a better place that I\u2019d want to see an outdoor concert than this venue. The beautiful old steel structures light up the night sky and are a perfect backdrop for any show. I only know \u00a0a few songs from Young the Giant, but they managed to capture my attention throughout the entire show. They opened up the show by playing the songs &#8220;Amerika,&#8221; &#8220;Something to Believe In,&#8221; and &#8220;I Got.&#8221; The lead singer Sameer Gadhia had a contagious energy about him from the moment they started playing. I really enjoyed his dancing and overall passion for their music. I thought his voice sounded amazing and I couldn&#8217;t help but smile and get caught up in their performance. I was also 2 feet away from the band, so it doesn\u2019t get any better than that experience ! I also noticed that most of the unique sounds in their songs are performed live (versus pre-recorded) with a variety of percussion instruments.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was a lighter crowd than anticipated, their fans seemed truly engaged, singing, dancing, and cheering when they played their hits. They ended the show with an encore of one of their biggest hits, \u00a0\u201cSilvertongue\u201d and &#8220;My Body.&#8221; The audience seemed to enjoy the encore and actually the entire show, because they stuck around until the very end.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, I definitely recommend checking out Young the Giant, especially in concert. If you\u2019re an alternative music fan, you will not be disappointed. I know I\u2019m about to go download their latest album and pre-order \u201cMirror Master.\u201d For tour info, please visit, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youngthgiant.com\/\">www.youngthgiant.com<\/a> and check them out on social media at @youngthegiant.
