Starting out the electrifying evening was a captivating video documentary that chronicled the band’s illustrious career, stretching from the moment the world was supposedly supposed to end to the present day. The predominant theme throughout the film was the unwavering loyalty of the band's dedicated fans, contrasted with the deep commitment the band has always shown towards their supporters. As the band finally entered the stage, the energy in the venue erupted into a feverous roar, marking the beginning of a 25-year celebration of noise. They kicked off the night with their newest song, "Skin and Bones," setting the tone for the evening. Alongside fan favorites like "My Heroine," "The After Glow," and "Infinite," the band masterfully touched upon various highlights from their extensive career. While it is common for bands to profess their love for their fans, it is sometimes rare for them to genuinely remember and express their gratitude. However, Shane took a moment to give an enthusiastic shout-out to the NYHC group, acknowledging the profound impact they have had on the band’s journey. From that electrifying moment onward, the mosh pit grew larger and more chaotic, a testament to the palpable excitement in the crowd. With this tour slated to continue through March and two anticipated new albums, "Anti-Bloom" and "Pink Moon," set to be released soon, 2025 is shaping up to be an extraordinary year for fans and the band alike.

Only a band with a massive catalog of hits can confidently get away with playing one of their top hits, "Father of Mine," so early on in their set and still manage to keep the audience rocking for the rest of the night away.

The night began with Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, and as Jimi Haha energetically welcomed everyone to the openers’ opener, the audience could feel an electric anticipation in the air. I wasn’t quite sure how the night would unfold at first, particularly as Jimi, who walked with a cane and had a noticeable limp, made his way onto the stage. However, all of my concerns quickly evaporated once he strapped on his guitar and confidently walked to the center stage. In that moment, it became clear that the band, alongside Jimi, was about to push into high gear. They delivered an exhilarating performance, showcasing their punk stoner vibe that beautifully complemented the alternative rock genre. Jimmie’s Chicken Shack was undoubtedly the perfect band to kick off this exciting night of music. Although their set felt standard and disappointingly brief for someone like me, with memorable tracks like “Do Right” and “High” included in the lineup, there was simply no way they could go wrong.
