Phoenix: ‘Alpha Zulu’ Tour - Radio City Music Hall, NYC - 9 September 2022

“This is the best-looking venue that we’ve ever played in. We’re so happy to play Radio City.” - Thomas Mars
I didn’t think Phoenix could top the Ti Amo tour. That show was so intimate - Mars coming into the crowd several times. I’m someone who sees a lot of concerts - but Ti Amo was the most exciting show I’d ever seen in my whole life.
Well, Phoenix made everything about this larger venue work for them: GORGEOUS video backdrops that dazzled, dropping the spotlights frequently to make themselves into silhouettes, and then the kicker: Mars’s curtain call where he once again came out into the crowd and CIRCLED THE ENTIRE VENUE - with a super long microphone cord (a prop for effect, b/c he didn’t sing or speak into it).
And the set list❣️❣️❣️📀✨
At first I thought it odd that their tour began before the new record drops November 4. But it was cool hearing several new ‘Alpha Zulu’ songs blind - especially ’Winter Solstice.’ The ‘Alpha Zulu’ title track is not the best on the record.
The crowd went berserk at times. It was a special show. Phoenix is a special band. 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

I went to this show! It was my second time seeing them and they are may absolute favorite band ever. Such a good night.

[@scottpiro]

Was my second time, too. First was Ti Amo at Brooklyn Steel in 2018. They are the most exciting live band I have ever seen perform. Other acts are terrific live - but no one puts on a more exciting show than Phoenix❣️

[@MMM-vj9ts]

[@JakarywithZ]

I remember going to this, i had only just started getting into their music, my mom, who had known their music for years and years, asked me if i wanted to go to this concert, and i said yes, despite not knowing most of their songs. Best decision i ever made, now i could sing most of their songs accurately(or accurate lyrics anyway lol). Edit: at 6:28 i forgot this even happened and now i remember it vividly lol

[@brianstjohn]

Opens with a French Overture, naturally.

[@alexandertimber1279]

Funky Squaredance was epic.

[@scottpiro]

I was wondering what that hard rock riff was. I forgot it came from there!

[@marivelmedel7893]
