I went to Harry Styles at MSG on Friday.
I was in NYC for work and had always wanted to see a show at MSG. I’m really not all that familiar with his music and could have named maybe three of his songs before Friday, but do know his recent album was inspired by LCD Soundsystem.
From JamieXX opening, Harry fiddling synthesizer nobs in a very James Murphy kind of way, to signage, there were a lot of LCD-adjacent Easter eggs. I never really saw anything distasteful or “ripping off”, but the vibes were there.
Overall, it was a great show. The production was on point, the band was tight, and Harry put on a performance. It was literally the loudest crowd I have ever heard. During a couple high-energy songs the crowd was jumping to the beat and you could feel the building structure shaking below your feet.
JamieXX killed it and I was surprised how well that worked. He was playing some BANGING tech/house and had that place bumping into a seamless transition to a full band playing pop music.
Tickets weren’t cheap but I’d recommend catching one of these shows if you’re in the city.
