It has been a long time since I have seen Incubus. I really stopped caring due to the live shows lacking the energy they once had.
I went into this tonight not expecting much. I saw they were coming to town and decided to give them a chance due to it being a few years later and, well, I just missed seeing them.
Good or bad, it would still be fun.
I gotta say…I was very impressed and excited by what I got.
The band seems to have finally found their rhythm together with Ben Kenney (the bassist that replaced Dirk Lance). The man seems much more comfortable and natural on stage now.
They all seemed to be having a great time up there. The crowd was super fun. A lot of sing a longs and energy.
It felt like an old school Incubus concert. The set list was very good too.
There was a good mix of material from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and the albums following it. I was so happy to see them play Redefine. =) Ben slapped the shit out of his bass. That was something he didn’t do quite so well the last time I saw them.
Incubus also redid the way they approach acoustic songs. It is a lot more intimate feeling even though a few of the songs include the entire band playing acoustic. It just feels less staged than seeing just Mikey and Brandon play together.
Extra enjoyment came from seeing Brandon play his djembe and didgeridoo. I missed that.
All you old school fans better go check out this tour. It was a treat.
It was a great night =) I made some awesome new friends too. I owe them a print for the beer they got me. 
Enjoy the photos.
