Customer Reviews for Young the Giant with Cold War Kids

Home of the Strange Tour - some pretty damn good stuff!
I suppose the fact that Young the Giant has been around for the better part of 13 years shouldn't make it sound like I've found a diamond in the rough. The sheer number of radio- recognizable hits would make one think their following is significant in all parts of the US. But I suppose Cincinnati is not known as one of the more progressive music scenes and I shouldn't be surprised that the 4,000 seat PNC Pavilion wasn't sold out. However, that fact was lost as the lights dimmed and the entire place was pulsing and jumping to flawlessly- executed hits like "My body" (encore), "Its' About Time" and "Silver tongue". My wife and I saw them in Austin earlier this year in a smaller venue and it was a terrific concert, but what I saw last night in Cincy was light years ahead in terms of performance and aesthetics. It was a decently long set - BUT I WANT MORE and I suspected everyone else in the Pavilion did as well. Definitely one of my top 3 concerts ever. See them if you can!
