A Raisin in the Sun Washington Theatre reviews
Muse lives up to "Best Band in the World" hype
I can say that A Raisin in the Sun lived up to expectations with an amazing stage show and phenomenal sound, having been called the best live band in the world. The impressive descending screen pyramid, as well as the light and laser shows, perfectly lent themselves to A Raisin in the Sun's theatrical musical style. It was nice to see them play "Liquid State" with bassist Christopher Wolstenholme taking lead vocals, and the band itself was tight and pitch perfect.
One concession I can make for this con is that the band did play nonstop with only an occasional pause to thank the crowd, which may have accounted for a portion of the shorter set time. Whenever I go to a stadium gig, I generally expect a full two-hour set from a headlining band. One con: the band came on at 8:30 and promptly finished the show, including encore, at 10:00. When you're seeing the best live band in the world, you want the show to keep going!
