. Frontman Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun put on a spectacle, to say the least. The Ohio duo was on fire — almost literally, as they performed alongside a burning car — as it performed one wild antic after another. Joseph stood atop the fiery car at one point. He later jumped on his piano before closing the show by walking through the crowd to the opposite side of the stadium, where he climbed a tall stage apparatus.
But at no time did Joseph hide behind the theatrics of it all , instead letting his vocals shine. He opened the set with “Jumpsuit,” from their latest album, “Trench,” then ran thought their biggest hits. A man of many hats Joseph played “Heathens” and “Ride” on the piano and “The Hype” on ukulele. “Stressed Out” and “Chlorine” got the crowd especially pumped. In between gravity-defying acts and rap verses, he stopped to talk to the audience and … his family, as the show was being live-streamed.
Of Monsters and Men, meanwhile, let their introspective lyrics do most of the talking. Lead singer Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir’s angelic voice was beyond reproach as she breezed through their haunting, hypnotizing hits “Mountain Sound,” “Crystals,” “Little Talks” and “Dirty Paws.”Lovelytheband, like The Interrupters, were performing at Almost Acoustic for the second year in a row, and also touched on mental health issues.
Nashville, Tenn.-based The Raconteurs, meanwhile, brought their fierce energy and squealing guitar to Almost Acoustic, after recently returning from an 11-year recording hiatus. Expect to see more of newcomer Matt Maeson, who struck a chord, opening the show with emotional singles “Go Easy” and “Cringe.”
