I was so excited for this show. Since Coachella I’d been hearing great things about the show and seeing some awesome photos with HTDA’s admittedly awesome stage and lighting set up. But I got none of that at their Fillmore Silver Spring show. I was incredibly let down by the lighting. The band played behind an elaborate set up of fiber optic cables that moved around the stage, but for the first three, they mainly stayed away from using any color other than red. Apparently the great lighting I’d been seeing in photos came from later int he set. The whole thing was just a huge let down.
