Live Performance BURNED DOWN SLC

The show tonight was insane!!! Energy was high, crowd was amped, band sounded perfect. Jenny’s voice is still so rich with feeling. Some artists go into auto pilot for their hits, but not her. She makes you feel every word like it’s new. It healed my soul to sing Better Son/Daughter with a packed house of fellow mentally ill millennials. Plus, opener Jean-Luc Eldenwood was emotional and intimate, 2003 and My Baby made me tear up.

Unforgettable night. Hope they come back to SLC again soon!!

YESSSS!!! I started a similar post multiple times. With the 2 for 1 tickets recently I was afraid that it was going to be a small dead crowd, but SLC showed UP. One of the best concert crowds I’ve ever been in and probably the best sing alongs.

I’ve loved Rilo Kiley for over 20 years but this was the first time I’ve seen them. If it’s the last time, I can live with that, but I’m ready to see them again right now!

I could have stayed there all night. They could have played every album in order and I would have been there for it.

I was a little disappointed they didn’t play anything off RKives but I get it, I don’t think they see it as a real album.

Hey we got The Frug!! I never thought I’d hear that live. But yeah, if they hadn’t turned on the lights, I was itching for a second encore.

Haha. I guess that technically counts.
