Major Lazer - Light It Up (Feat. NYLA | major lazer light it up"So what's your admired affair you've apparent so far?"
I anticipate the aboriginal time accession asked me that was Friday afternoon. And I kept audition that aforementioned catechism through the final night of the countdown Lost Lake Anniversary in Phoenix, by which point it was still the aforementioned affair I'd been adage aback the aboriginal day ended, Adventitious the Rapper.
There were affluence of abundant performances over the advance of the weekend, though, from bounded heroes Playboy Manbaby to hip-hop icons Run the Jewels and Huey Lewis and the News.
Yes, Huey Lewis and the News.
Here's how I'd amount the best performances I saw at Lost Lake. Opinions may vary.
Chance brought the aperture night to a blissful cessation as he led his actuality choir in repeating "Are you accessible for your blessings? Are you accessible for your miracle?," a battery of armament aqueous on the army as they sang, "When the praises go up, the blessings arise down.".
It was the absolute catastrophe to a acutely airy achievement by a accurate hip-hop aboriginal whose complete is steeped as abundant in gospel, applesauce and archetypal body as annihilation akin avant-garde hip-hop.
Chance was in acceptable spirits, accepting aloof unboxed the Grammys he won beforehand this year, which he said fabricated this his aboriginal concert as a Grammy-winning artist. Not abiding if the algebraic checks out on that, but it abiding put him in a acceptable mood, so I'll booty it.

In accession to those actuality singers, Chance was backed by the Social Experiment, including Nico Segal, who Adventitious alien as "the man of the hour" and "the Artisan Formerly Known as Donnie Trumpet," as able-bodied as agreeable administrator Peter Cottontale.
A soulful, adorning arrangement of "Sunday Candy," which he acclaimed was the alone video they filmed for the Social Experiment album, was amid the abounding highlights of a set that account selections from "Coloring Book" with a assortment of Kanye West songs that concluded with "Ultralight Beam" and a antic arrangement of DJ Khaled's "I'm the One."
At times, it acquainted added like a actuality covering awakening than a concert by one of the hottest names in hip-hop, he'd abounding the esplanade with such absolute energy – an activity in abbreviate accumulation in these alienated times -- if that performance didn't "make you bethink how to smile good," as he promised in "Blessings (Reprise)," it wasn't for a abridgement of trying.
These locals angry in a ridiculously absorbing set, agitation the army with the adventuresome carelessness that's fabricated them one of Arizona's fastest-rising alive attractions.
Robbie Pfeffer fabricated the best of the breach by alleviative their well-deserved abode on the anniversary date with a atoning faculty of amusement while agitation a Scottsdale Applesauce Anniversary T-shirt.
"Hello everybody, we are the Pixies," he joked.
The accompanist afterwards told the crowd, "We've arise a continued way to be here." According to Google Maps, he said, "By walking, this is seven account from my house."
After arch his bandmates through such crowd-pleasing highlights "Don't Let It Be," their latest and greatest, as "Bored, Broke & Sober," "You Can Be a Fascist Too" and "Last One Standing," he told the crowd, "We are Playboy Manbaby. Afterwards us, all the bands you paid money to see."
But there's no way the admirers shouting forth on the call-and-response of "You Can Be a Fascist Too" wouldn't acquiescently pay to see them comedy again, abnormally afterwards Pfeffer climbed into the army for some up-close-and-personal army alternation on their final song. It was brilliant, amusing showmanship. And the army ate it up.
The best advancing hip-hop name on Sunday's bill was Run the Jewels, who did not disappoint. Killer Mike and El-P strolled on date to Queen accomplishing "We Are the Champions," auspicious the admirers to sing along, again proceeded to prove why the champions appellation applies.

The acuteness of their rapping was akin by the sonic advance of the speaker-rumbling low end. They blew out the PA for a ballad or two of "Legend Has It," two songs in, but aloof kept going, acutely blind that no one in the admirers could apprehend what they were doing.
Their set was arranged with any cardinal of their greatest hits, from "Blockbuster Night, Allotment 1" to "36" Chain," preceded by El-P announcement that they'd able anybody in the admirers with an airy 36-inch gold chain they should abrasion with pride and not let anybody acquaint them they can't alive their activity the way they please, abnormally politicians.
They talked a lot, to be honest. But they're bigger at talking than best entertainers. Everybody says they're activated to be in Phoenix. Analgesic Mike adds, "And your marijuana is top-motherf--king-tier" with able banana timing.
DJ Shadow's "Nobody Speak," on which they were the featured guests, was a auspicious change of clip that fabricated the atomic arrangement of "Close Your Eyes (And Count to F--k)" that followed that abundant harder-hitting. And they active off with a cord of their best ardent moments – "Down," which Analgesic Mike preceded with a accent about putting an end to suicide, "Thursday in the Danger Room," beatific out to accompany who didn't accomplish it this far, and "Angel Duster."

The best advancing bedrock act of the festival's aboriginal day, they advised admirers to a barbaric cruise bottomward Addition Memory Lane while disturbing new holes in the listeners' homesickness with absonant renditions of "Planet of Sound," "Caribou," "Monkey Gone to Heaven," "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation" and "Where Is My Mind," to name aloof a few of the accessible highlights.
The Pixies, of course, are no strangers to alive the anniversary circuit. It’s been 13 years aback an allurement to bedrock the masses at Coachella brought them aback from an 11-year hiatus.
And admitting departing means in 2013 with the abundant Kim Deal, a founding affiliate whose anguish bass and harmonies were handled with aggressiveness by Paz Lenchantin of A Absolute Circle, that old atom remained as beginning as if Atramentous Francis had aloof ashore a angle in a adjacent electrical outlet.
Their achievement was a feedback-driven onslaught, Atramentous Francis abounding those throat-shredding howls that helped authentic the Pixies' continuing on the acid bend of addition music years afore Nirvana took their whisper-to-a-tortured-scream activating to the masses.
This Chicago rapper's soulful alloy of hip-hop, applesauce and balladry went over big with a army that was pond in bodies cutting Adventitious the Rapper No. 3 caps. She and Adventitious are acutely affiliated alcohol and it goes above their accepting formed together.
Blessed with a alluring smile and cutting a Lil Kim "Crush on You" T-shirt, Noname brought an backward agreeableness to the affairs as she fabricated her way through such accessible highlights as "Comfortable," "Get Money," "Church/Liquor Store" and "Freedom (Interlude)."
After bringing her set to a acme with an affecting apprehend on "Casket Pretty," she told the crowd, "All right, I'm done with this sad s--t," catastrophe on a aerial agenda with "Forever" and a actual soulful "Yesterday."
Every so often, you see a bandage that makes you feel like bedrock and cycle could be the bigger affair since, you know, rock and roll. At Lost Lake, that bandage was the Shelters. They had me at "I own a 12-string Vox guitar."
And by the time they active off with a awning of "Lost Woman" from the Yardbirds' Jeff Beck era that concluded with a aftertaste of Link Wray's "Rumble," it was accessible that they had done their allotment to prove that crumbling bedrock admirers who assert that bedrock and roll is asleep are aloof absinthian about the actuality that they had fuller active of beard aback "Over Beneath Sideways Down" came out.
["213.4"]Hey, I did too. But this renewed my acceptance in bedrock and cycle as article we can canyon on like a arbitrary ancestors antique to a bearing aloft on Lil Yachty records. Not that Lil Yachty is a bad thing. But these guys are so ablaze at the confused art of bedrock and cycle that Tom Petty himself was confused to co-produce their album.
And in truth, there are times aback they complete like a adventuresome adolescent Heartbreakers active on "Nuggets" and acceleration with the actual agreeable chops to aback it up. Added times, they complete added like the Kinks' aboriginal album, which can alone be the bigger acclaim I've anytime paid a rock-and-roll band.
They're so bedrock and roll, in fact, that aback it came time to address their collapsed co-producer, they bypassed the accessible crowd-pleasing choir – a "Full Moon Fever" hit or "American Girl" – in favor of a Mudcrutch song.
You apperceive who would've anticipation that was the coolest affair they could've done?
Tom Petty.
I saw a kid in a Kesha shirt accident his apperception to Huey Lewis and the News. That's the ability of love. And the "Back to the Future" franchise.
The News set the accent for their set with the complete of a assault heart, which could alone beggarly they planned on starting their achievement with "The Affection of Bedrock & Roll."
Now, there's a appropriate adventitious they accessible every appearance with that one. I would, too, if it were my hit. But it acquainted added like a mission account in this context, with the News as Lost Lake's acknowledged ancient statesmen, abnormally aback Lewis sang, "It's still that aforementioned old bedrock and cycle music that absolutely absolutely drives 'em wild."
So did it really, absolutely drive 'em agrarian at Lost Lake?
There were smiles all about for that aperture song. And Lewis and his bandmates captivated a large, agog crowd's absorption as they blew the dust off an amazing arrangement of around-the-clock hits: "If This Is It," "I Appetite a New Drug," "Jacob's Ladder," "The Ability of Love," "Heart and Body and "Working for a Living."
The singer's articulation has age-old if not like accomplished wine like a admired beer. And his bandmates absolutely becoming their paycheck, from the four-man horn bandage and a analgesic accent area to the advance guitarist who re-created every abandoned with both affection and precision.
I bethink aback the calendar was announced, actuality afraid for Lewis and the News. I anticipation they'd be the odd men out, if alone for the generational considerations. But they came, they saw, they conquered. And it really, absolutely accumulating 'em wild.
This was, by far, the weekend's best visually beauteous performance. It was breathtaking, really, which ill-fitted the vibe of the music.
Where Major Lazer were all about whipping your shirt off and twerking forth to advance like "Bubble Butt" (not that there's annihilation amiss with that), Odesza's music speaks added to the soul, their aerial vocals and atmospheric textures complemented by a attractive ablaze appearance with bright lasers slicing through the arid sky.

And aback they did abatement aback on assault abode beats? That was appealing special, too. Hell, they opened the set with no beneath than eight bodies banging on drums, including the masterminds abaft those tracks, Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight (as able-bodied as two horn players)
Highlights of their set ranged from the soulful "All We Need" to "Higher Ground," on which Naomi Agrarian appeared to re-create her aching vocal, and "Across the Room," a clue that appearance Leon Bridges, who did not arise to re-create his vocal. This could abound into the affectionate of destination anniversary area guys like Bridges fly in aloof to be that appropriate guest, but accord it time. As aboriginal years go, it acquainted appealing impressive.
The Roots are hip-hop legends for a reason, accepting revolutionized the brand by accumulation alive musicians. Not that DJs aren't musicians. I would never accomplish that argument. But the Roots accompany "traditional" chart to the table – bass, drums, keyboards, blatant advance guitar and horns, including tuba.
It helps that they're brilliant, agitative musicians, from Atramentous Thought, their MC and airy leader, to Questlove, a bagman whose compassionate of the canal is limitless.

In abounding means the Funkadelic of their generation, they clarify hip-hop through the sensibilities of archetypal funk, jazz, body and alike bedrock 'n' roll. At Lost Lake, in accession to activated a spotlight on anniversary affiliate of the group, they tossed in covers of Kool & the Gang's "Jungle Boogie," Accoutrements N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine" and Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?"
Of course, their own songs were better, including "The Fire" from "How I Got Over," "Clones" from "Illadelph Halflife," "The Abutting Movement" and "You Got Me" from "Things Abatement Apart" and "Get Busy" from Rising Down."
You apperceive who had added hits than Huey Lewis and the News? The Beatles. They weren't there, of course. But they were there in spirit, actuality saluted as they were at Soulbugs Superjam by the aces Dap-Kings with a little advice from their friends.
After ambience the accent for the accolade with a actual blue active arrangement of "Lady Madonna," their baritone sax amateur demography the lead, they accustomed the aboriginal of those accompany to the stage, Absence Star Duncan Lowe with a actual soulful apprehend on Paul McCartney's "Got to Get You Into My Life."
A abiding assumption of bedfellow singers followed: Saundra Williams on "Hello, Goodbye," associates of the Shelters on "She Said She Said" and "Taxman," Luna Aura on "Come Together," Frenship on "Good Day Sunshine" and Wes Miles of Ra Ra Riot on "Oh! Darling" and "Don't Let Me Down," and Huey Lewis on the alone aboriginal Beatles song to accomplish the grade, their adaptation of the Barrett Strong song "Money (That's What I Want)."
The accolade concluded with Sameer Gadhia of Adolescent the Behemothic arch an all-star choir in a activation arrangement of – what else? – "Hey Jude" afterwards a appropriately breakable achievement of "Here, There and Everywhere."
The Killers were accustomed like able bedrock gods as Saturday's headlining act.
They came on to a battery of confetti, ambience the accent for their set with the Bowiesque alarm canal of "The Man," the advance distinct from "Wonderful Wonderful."The set went on to affection maybe two added advance from their aboriginal anthology aback 2012.

They wouldn't be headlining festivals the admeasurement of Lost Lake and Lollapalooza afterwards all these years if they didn't accept the accent of giving the bodies what they want.
They may accept captivated off on their advance single, "Mr. Brightside," for the encore. But they played it. They played all the hits from "Hot Fuss," the triple-platinum admission that put them on the map alfresco Las Vegas in 2004, bringing the set to a crowd-pleasing accomplishment with an absorbing "All These Things That I've Done" while ambience off addition battery of armament as Brandon Flowers led the admirers in a active singalong of "I got body but I'm not a soldier."
They'd affected on every appearance of their career by then, including such radio staples as "Somebody Told Me," a slow, loungy snipppet of "When You Were Young" and "Human." And as abundant as their complete has acquired through the years, it captivated calm as a set, including the "Wonderful Wonderful" tracks.
The one constant, of course, is Flowers, abnormally now that guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer accept taken a breach from touring.

Looking as beautiful as ever, Flowers acutely brought his A-game to the concert, as a accompanist and a host. He alien one of those new songs, "Run for Cover," by asking, "Are you accessible to apprehend your new admired song? Cause we appear to accept it." And that's absolutely how the army accustomed it.
They had the admirers bouncing their accoutrements from ancillary to ancillary aback they opened the acclamation with "This is Your Life" from 2008's "Day & Age." That acknowledgment alone got added acute aback they segued into an absorbing arrangement of "When You Were Young," which rocked like Springsteen aloft on punk. And there was alone already abode they could go at that point, accompany the concert to a abutting with "Mr. Brightside."
Local rapper Futuristic had the acknowledged rock-star moment of the final day aback he absolved through the army on ample easily like Iggy Pop gone hip-hop while agitation a Phoenix Suns basketball jersey.
He's a accomplished and absorbing rapper whose acceleration is actual (as he displayed on "King Speech"), as are the pop sensibilities he flashes on a cut like "Too Easy," which had the admirers singing forth with a choir angle that finds him boasting, "I accomplish it attending easy." Which he does.
"Too Easy" additionally featured one of Futuristic's added aggressive boasts: "I'm the best in the east and I'm active on the west coast."
He's funny, too. See "King Speech," area he rhymed "I apperceive that I am the best / There's article I charge to confess" with "I still use an iPhone 5 but somehow I got success."
Other highlights of his set included "No Way," "Do It" and "Feel Good," area he rapped "I'm accomplishing things they ambition they did." Which is apparently true. Aback he larboard the stage, for example, a ample army backward abaft and chanted, "One added song." At a music festival.
How barbarous was the sun as the countdown Lost Lake Anniversary formed into Day 3 at Steele Indian School Park? My iPhone powered bottomward to save itself while the guys in Fayuca were afraid their way through the aboriginal achievement of the day. And I was sitting in the shade.

The calefaction became a active antic as Sunday afternoon wore on.
The Shelters, arena second, were accepting a beam about their afflictive cossack decisions.
"Did anyone abroad abrasion atramentous shoes today?," singer-guitarist Josh Jove asked. "'Cause my bottom is on fire."
Later, their added guitar-playing diva Chase Simpson joked, "Hey Andrea, can I get my shoe tech up here? I charge the white shoes."
Murs abhorrent "the elements" for his balloon apparatus not alive right. And bounded rapper Futuristic, who dressed for the calefaction in a Phoenix Suns basketball jersey, asked, "Why is it 172 degrees in October out here?" afore suggesting that the sun had acquired his DJ's laptop to malfunction.
"It's so hot out actuality and I was spitting so abounding blaze bars," he said, "it absurd the computer."
But abundant about the weather.
Let's allocution music.
The Shelters emerged as the rock-and-roll highlight of the day with a set that larboard no agnosticism as to absolutely what it was that fabricated Tom Petty appetite to accomplish a almanac with them. And they did a Petty awning in their co-producer's honor.
It was a acceptable day (and weekend) for hip-hop, from Murs and Futuristic to Danny Brown, who fabricated his access to Atramentous Sabbath's "Iron Man," a applicable addition to "Die Like a Bedrock Star," his aperture number.
Brown has one of avant-garde hip-hop's best characteristic voices. And he acclimated it to ablaze aftereffect on such accessible highlights as "Lie4," "Side B (Dope Song)," "Dip," "25 Bucks" and "Smokin and Drinkin," which emerged as a crowd-pleasing call and acknowledgment with the audience.

In agreement of artistry, acuteness and command of the stage, Run The Jewels are a boxy act to follow.
But if festivals accept accomplished us anything, it's that the alone complete currently arduous hip-hop as the music best acceptable to accompany a crowd calm as one nation beneath a canal is EDM.
And accepting apparent the army that British DJ duo Snakehips drew backward Sunday afternoon aback it was still too hot to do abundant dancing and the the alike beyond army that acclimatized to Big Gigantic, an EDM duo with alive drums and saxophone, it's adamantine to catechism Superfly's accommodation to accept Major Lazer chase Run the Jewels.

Major Lazer - Light It Up (Original Audio CD) - YouTube | major lazer light it upThey kicked the affair into aerial accessory with dancers, streamers, pyro and speaker-shaking EDM beats.
One of them alike climbed central a behemothic hamster brawl like Wayne Coyne for the EDM set and accustomed himself to be anesthetized through the crowd. And I say "one of them" because at that point in their set, the army was arranged in so ridiculously tight, I couldn't get in abutting abundant to amount out which guy it was.
Which brings me to my abutting point: Major Lazer were the bright army favorites of the day at that point.

Here's the thing, though. Alike back-loading the set with songs as affirmed to get a big acknowledgment as the multi-platinum "Lean On," which charcoal their bigger single, "Light It Up" and "Roll the Bass" was no bout for the anniversary abnormality of bodies afloat off afore the set is through to mark their area for the final artisan of the day, Odesza.
Which is sad. Not alone did they absence out on one final adventitious to jump with Diplo, Jillionaire and Walshy Fire, which is bad enough, they additionally absent out on this ardent sendoff: "Love and unity, that's what this festival's about. That's what Major Lazer's about."
Well, adulation and accord and jumping up and down, which from the looks of it, can be its own reward.
Long afore Odesza took the stage, bounded rockers Fayuca got the accomplished affair started.
Being aboriginal to booty the date on a anniversary bill can be a barren task, abnormally if you're arena on the final day. Sure, it's an account to be nominated, but best of the bodies you could've won over are sleeping off Saturday night, and if you're talking Arizona, there's the amount of the cruel arid sun.
But the associates of Fayuca not alone rose to the challenge, they managed to accomplish it attending like they were accepting fun, abnormally trumpet amateur Danny Torgersen of Captain Squeegee and Henri Benard, as activated a percussionist as you could achievement to witness.
After ambience the accent with the airy reggae vibe of "White Lies," which featured the absolutely ballsy guitar assignment of bandleader Gabo Fayuca, they abruptly confused apparatus into the adventuresome jailbait carelessness of "The Cycle," congenital about a abominable psychobilly riff.
Torgersen slipped the choir of a Bush song into "Pick Up the Pieces" and sang advance on "Mary Jane," a reggae song that as the appellation would advance did not animate you to aloof say no.
Every so often, you see a bandage that makes you feel like bedrock and cycle could be the bigger affair since, you know, bedrock and roll. At Lost Lake, that bandage was the Shelters. They had me at "I own a 12-string Vox guitar."
And by the time they active off with a awning of "Lost Woman" from the Yardbirds' Jeff Beck era that concluded with a aftertaste of Link Wray's "Rumble," it was accessible that they had done their allotment to prove that crumbling bedrock admirers who assert that bedrock and roll is asleep are aloof absinthian about the actuality that they had fuller active of beard aback "Over Beneath Sideways Down" came out.
Hey, I did too. But this renewed my acceptance in bedrock and cycle as article we can canyon on like a arbitrary ancestors antique to a bearing aloft on Lil Yachty records. Not that Lil Yachty is a bad thing. But these guys are so ablaze at the confused art of bedrock and cycle that Tom Petty himself was confused to co-produce their album.
And in truth, there are times aback they complete like a adventuresome adolescent Heartbreakers active on "Nuggets" and acceleration with the actual agreeable chops to aback it up. Added times, they complete added like the Kinks' aboriginal album, which can alone be the bigger acclaim I've anytime paid a rock-and-roll band.
They're so bedrock and roll, in fact, that aback it came time to address their collapsed co-producer, they bypassed the accessible crowd-pleasing choir – a "Full Moon Fever" hit or "American Girl" – in favor of a Mudcrutch song. You apperceive who would've anticipation that was the coolest affair they could've done?
Tom Petty.
After communicable a bit of A Tribe Called Red, a Canadian EDM aggregation who were accomplishing a powwow-step remix of "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)" with dancers in Native American apparel aback I formed up from the Shelters, I headed off to Murs. And he was great, as always.
First, he alien himself with "Better Than the Best," a ablaze accumulating of boasts whose around-the-clock choir is "The best to anytime do it / The best that anytime did it / Murs is bigger than your admired rapper, accept it."
It takes a assertive blazon of agreeableness to cull off claims as abandoned as "I'm absolutely the best rapper that you anytime heard, obviously." But he fabricated it attending easy.
After authoritative his way through such accessible highlights as "Bad Man!," "Lookin' Fly" and "Fresh Kicks," he acicular out that his son's pre-k teacher, Absence Sara, was in the audience, again told her "Don't adjudicator me aback I accompany him in on Monday" afore bold the role of a appearance that wouldn't be advised a actual acceptable role archetypal for pre-K accouchement in "The Worst."
Highly Suspect performs at the Lost Lake Festival, Sunday, October 22, 2017. (Photo: Jim Louvau/Special for The Republic)
Highly Suspect had a air-conditioned bell-ringer hyping their arrival, adage things like “Are you aflame in means you’ve never imagined?” Then, the Massachusetts rockers hit the stage, guitar-playing diva Johnny Stevens in a Bad Brains T-shirt, and acclimatized into the headbanging stoner-rock canal of “Bath Salts,” their aperture number.
The highlight of their set, by far, was “Viper Strike,” which Stevens alien with “Here’s the deal. It’s not air-conditioned to be racist. It’s not air-conditioned to be homophobic and if you’re not bottomward with that you can leave.”
I’ll accord the brace who’d been continuing abutting to me the account of the agnosticism and acquaint myself they larboard appropriate again to get a bigger atom for Danny Brown.
But “Viper Strike,” is Highly Suspect’s finest hour, a activating Nirvana-esque rocker with Stevens carrying the verses in a announced sneer, from the aperture line, “Oh, you’re racist? Jeez, that’s neat” to “Guns don’t annihilate people. White bodies annihilate atramentous people. With guns.”
