Final evening, Alex Warren turned the Vogue Theatre right into a chaotic group remedy session with a aspect of bangers. The Vancouver cease of his Cheaper Than Remedy tour was loud, heartfelt, weirdly private, and completely entertaining.
From the second Warren hit the stage at 9 PM, the group was all in. Folks had been holding indicators with messages like “We made Bloodlines hoodies” and “We cherished you a lot final evening, we needed to come again.” It was humorous, oddly comforting, and generally a bit too actual (speaking about lifeless mother and father will do this). At one level, Warren requested everybody to throw on stage the presents and friendship bracelets that they had introduced, and surprisingly managed to not get hit by any of it. That’s the sort of evening it was.
The present was half live performance, half dwell discuss present. A fan was pulled onstage in order that Warren may signal their leg and be a part of 400 different artists’ signatures that acquired became a tattoo. One fortunate younger fan even acquired the mic to sing in entrance of everybody early within the present. It felt much less like a efficiency and extra like an prolonged hangout with a thousand-plus associates.
However don’t let the antics idiot you, Warren can sing. He opened with “Burning Down,” setting a uncooked tone that carried by way of fan-favourite tracks like “Save You a Seat” and “You’ll Be Alright, Child” (shoutout to the fan that organized 50+ indicators that stated Thank You For Reminding Us That We Will Be Alright throughout that music). His raspy vocals added grit to the sentiment-heavy setlist. The encore, “Carry You Dwelling,” despatched everybody out on a heat be aware.
It was not fairly remedy, but it surely was for positive cathartic. Warren made it really feel like your issues mattered, after which gave you a cause to bounce by way of them.
American TikTok content material creator and singer Michael Sanzone opened the present and acquired nearly as many cheers as Warren.
