Washington, Dance Party is the new aptly named area where The Midnight performed. October 9th, 2023 marked the third time The Midnight visited the nation’s capital and the immaculate venue The Anthem definitely felt the different vibes from the band as the night went on. Saxophone solos and electronic drum beats made sure no one could stay still the entire evening.
Some of the highlights included the sing-along for “Jason” and “Sunset”, and hearing “Ghost In Your Stereo” at the beginning of the set excited many people at the barricade. Each musician had some time to come forward and the performance never felt rushed or phoned in. Each song helped set a mood rather than just burn through a setlist.
This was my first time seeing The Midnight live. I was told by several people that the shows always offer an upbeat feeling from both the band and the crowd. Last night confirmed that description. After the recent release of Red, White, And Bruised: The Midnight Live, I hope that more people understand just how excellent this group is on stage. It’s rare to see a group of multi-instrumentalists all playing so in sync while keeping the crowd engaged and energetic.
I would recommend seeing The Midnight live to anyone, regardless of listener music preference. This is a rare band that knows how to target everyone while also having a unique sound that is hard to duplicate. Washington Dance Party will hopefully hold another meeting soon with The Midnight.
