ĭuring a special moment, Harry took the time to lead a “Happy Birthday” singalong in honor of his mom, Anne, who was home in England. I’ve been seeing music in Madison Square Garden since the 80s, & this was the first time the floor was wobbling. Having felt the iconic “floor wobble” of Madison Square Garden in 2018 during “Kiwi,” I wondered for a split second if Mohegan Sun Arena’s bleacher seats could stand up to the power of that song.Ī year ago today, one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Sung live, “Treat People With Kindness” transformed into an unexpected dance-along. Love On Tour included never-before-performed songs from Fine Line, his 2019 sophomore album. On the other hand, Harry only had one 10-track album to pull from during Live On Tour. After having waited so long for this tour, the setlist came across as stale. Live On Tour had also included two unreleased songs, “Anna” and “Medicine,” whereas Love On Tour had nothing comparable. And while his cover (and I use that word loosely) of One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” is always a good time, it felt a bit uninspired after having seen it performed so many times already. What was missing, however, was a rafter-shaking cover song like Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” which Harry performed on the previous tour. The added instruments brought a new sound to his music, a solo discography that only includes two albums and 22 songs. To see the stage - which was uniquely set in the center with catwalks extending out either side - filled with not only men but women and people of color, too, was important and on-brand for Harry. This tour included a few familiar faces, like guitarist Mitch Rowland and drummer Sarah Jones, but it had also expanded to include musicians such as pianist Niji Adeleye and scene-stealing percussionist Pauli Lovejoy. I think that after 18 months of no live music (and very little engagement from Harry in general, who stays off social media for the most part), fans were willing to do whatever it took to spend a safe night in his presence and continue spreading his message of treating people with kindness. And, for the most part, everyone did comply. Harry’s instantly recognizable voice boomed through the arena ahead of the show to thank fans for being vaccinated and encourage them to keep their masks on throughout so the tour could continue safely.
