As I said in the full review for tomorrow's paper, the addition of the B-side "Lonely Lullaby" -- which Adam Young played solo on piano -- added a nice touch to Saturday's Owl City concert at Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Not quite as fulfilling were "Swimming in Miami" and "I'll Meet You There," forgettable songs from some of Young's self-released, pre-fame download collections. Other than that, he and the band played nearly all of the new album, "All Things Bright & Beautiful," and more than half of its predecessor "Ocean Eyes." Here's the whole set list:
The Real World / Cave In / Hello Seattle / Angels / Swimming In Miami / Umbrella Beach / I'll Meet You There / Plant Life / Setting Sail (instrumental with Adam on drums) / The Bird And the Worm / Lonely Lullaby / Fireflies / Dreams Don't Turn To Dust / Kamikaze / Meteor Shower / Galaxies / Vanilla Twilight / Alligator Sky / Deer In the Headlights / The Yacht Club ENCORE: How I Became the Sea / If My Heart Was A House
