Apologies to Imagine Dragons, I had prior commitments and could not stay for their full set. It's apparent to me, hearing the sold out audience singing along to 99% of their Night Visions album, that these guys are well loved. According to their setlist, they played these songs in order: Intro, "Round & Round", "Amsterdam", "Tip Toe", "Hear Me", "Cha-Ching", "Rocks", "Radioactive", "30 Lives", "Bleeding Out", "Demons", "Underdog", "On Top Of The World", "It's Time", and encore of "Nothing Left To Say".
I actually had no idea Nico Vega was on the bill, but it was a pleasant surprise because I actually like these guys. This is my third time seeing them. Yes, Aja is shoeless on stage, and based on previous shows - this one was the best. Nico Vega had great energy and visually fun to watch and hear - although, talking to some Imagine Dragons fans, they didn't think Nico Vega's sound worked for them. Not everyone agreed, as I did overhear some fans being impressed with Aja.
As you can see from Atlas Genius' setlist, they tried to play all their songs off their recently released album, When It Was Now. Because of the limited thirty minute opener set, they had to drop off/cross off "Through The Glass". I suspect when the band comes back in June as headliner, that they will have plenty of room to breathe and will toss in other songs they have under their belt.
Although most of the audience didn't know Atlas Genius, it didn't stop them from dancing and handclapping to their music. Singer Keith Jeffery understandably kept banter to a minimum, but he sure knows how to manipulate the crowd (anytime you drop "Imagine Dragons" in your sentence, it's a huge cheer!).
If you missed out on Atlas Genius due to the sold out Imagine Dragons show, you can catch the Australian band again when they come back to Minneapolis at the smaller (but more intimate) Fine Line Music Cafe on June 4th. Be sure to check out their new album When It Was Now, out now, via Warner Bros. Records.
