Night 1 was the “Welcome to the Island” show where Hanson picked the setlist. I kind of went in to this show with no expectations or maybe just being prepared for the typical tour setlist that they’ve been doing since Anthem was released. However, they completely mixed things up for this show and I thought it was a good mix of songs from all their albums (maybe light on The Walk – but since a lot of those songs were included in the setlist voting, it made sense to skip over that one for now – even though they’ve been skipping over it a lot in past tours as well) The setlist was very upbeat with the exception of the acoustic part of the show.
And I even got a new song – that they wrote on the spot – “Sand in my Crevice” It was super windy so by the end of the night your hair felt like straw and you were pretty much covered in sand. (Even worse if you had put on sunscreen – it stuck all the more to you)
It was a great way to kick off the trip!
