The 1975's NYC show was so tightly choreographed that even Matty Healy’s usual banter was limited, bar apologizing for “touching my d---” to fans who came with their parents, and proclaiming, “If I was Kanye, I wouldn’t have said any of that stuff.”
Frontmen should be fun. Obnoxious, pretentious, eccentric… yes, all good words when it comes to the face of your favorite rock band. So when singer Matty Healy introducesas “the greatest band on the planet,” or gnaws on a slab of raw meat or mimics masturbation more than once in one concert, at least he’s giving you something to talk about.
played almost exactly in the order on the record. Devoting the first 30 minutes of the show to music released less than a month ago is a decidedly bold choice, but most of the arena sang along faithfully to songs like “Oh Caroline” and “I’m in Love With You” as if they were worn-in favorites. Speaking of the stage, the 1975 transformed the Garden’s stage into an enormous deconstructed house, fully furnished with couches, lamps, bookcases and vintage televisions — lots of them. Healy delivered one song from the top of a spiral staircase and another atop the roof. The singer’s wandering around the set, lounging on the couch and sticking his head out of its fake windows, gave the show not only a vague narrative but also a more intimate, literally homey feel.
Nonetheless, the band returned to the stage moments later in black suits and launched into an explosive “If You’re Too Shy ,” kicking off a second act full of the 1975’s greatest hits. There was “It’s Not Living ,” “Sex” and “Give Yourself a Try,” but, notably, no “Chocolate.” During “The Sound,” Healy enthusiastically commanded the Garden to “fucking jump,” and a huge percentage of the arena’s 20,000 audience members happily obliged.
