There are only a few bands that truly inspire me. There are even less bands that portray themselves as humble individuals, especially those that have reached a level of stardom which allows them to travel the world to put on shows. On Saturday, I came face to face (or at least close enough to the stage to be considered that) with a band just like that. Imagine Dragons really knows how to put on a show, and their energy was present even before they got on stage.
Dan Reynolds, the lead singer of the band, also showcased his persona, as he got the crowd stomping and dancing. Reynolds made it clear to the audience that he still couldn’t believe that he was able to stand in front of such a huge crowd to sing songs that the band had put together. He also said he never would have guessed that he would be the one up on stage, and thanked the audience for getting them there.
Imagine Dragons’ music is uplifting and really gets me in a great mood, rather than tell me to raise a glass in the air, and wave my hands like I just don’t care. I’ll do that anyway while I listen to them, and that’s what makes them so unique. Their sound is their own, and their words resonate with you, as they did at the Fillmore Auditorium. The fast-paced drums with sliding guitar melodies that made the sold-out venue come to life was great to watch; so many people celebrating great music at the same time is always something I love to see. The huge ocean of bodies splashed with red, blue and white lights from the stage is exhilarating to be a part of, and I’m sure that the guys in Imagine Dragons felt the exact same way. The band is due back in May for another North American tour, and you can already guess people are on watch as they wait for tickets to sell. Imagine Dragons at Red Rocks? I don’t think you want to miss it.
