However, his replacement absolutely stole the show. Milky Chance’s set was a healthy mix of hit songs off its debut album “Sadnecessary” and its latest album “Blossom,” which was released earlier this year.īand member –– and new dad –– Antonio Greger missed this stop on the tour. Rehbein waved and gave shout-outs to fans on the balcony and those scattered in the back. Between songs, the set was paused multiple times to shine a light on the crowd. It was clear that Milky Chance was as happy to see its fans as its fans were to see the band. As an orchestra veteran, I couldn’t help but smile seeing him hide on stage right to shift the crowd’s focus to other instrumentals during a song.
He was also extremely considerate of each member. His gritty voice also carried surprisingly well-audible even when standing one or two feet away from the microphone. He gracefully nailed a guitar solo during the song “Firebird” and would playfully make off-hand riffs during other songs. Lead singer Clemens Rehbein’s command of the mood seemed effortless. The band’s stage presence was simultaneously easy-going and energetic. Opening with “Clouds” and “Blossom,” the band members’ silhouettes danced amidst hypnotizing pastel hues of purple, green and blue. Once the lights went down, light fixtures resembling retro boom boxes were revealed and the circular lights came to life. By the look of things, I assumed the visuals were going to be tame.īut when Milky Chance came on stage at 9:00 p.m., my first impressions were shattered. The stage seemed simple: two raised drum sets on either side, each flanked by two bronze circular light fixtures. This was my first time seeing the group live, and I was a bit apprehensive since its recorded albums seemed too relaxing to maintain a solid energy.
