Francis and the Lights spent his 37th birthday entertaining a sold-out, sweat pit of happy humans at the Metro last Thursday. And a birthday celebration it was, indeed!
Three songs in, Francis had already scaled the speakers and acrobatically leapt back down to the stage. Moments later he was crowd surfing and singing, all before racing up the stairs to serenade the second floor of the venue.
And if that wasn’t enough, he brought out everyone’s favorite Chicagoan, Chance the Rapper, for “May I Have This Dance” and they showed off their synchronized moves from the single’s music video. The show was an impressive feat of energy and endurance. But that’s what I’ve come to expect from Francis. On stage he gives it everything he’s got, which is why his shows continue to deservingly generate buzz.
