With that in mind, and good vibes in the air, it was time to start the show. It felt good to be surrounded by so many people from different walks of life. For a moment, I was standing next to a fraternity bro and his girlfriend on my left, a Filipino family on my right, and two women, likely over the age of 65, just in front of me. Not only that, but there was an incredibly wide variety of ages present. Additionally, as I glanced around the room, I noticed the most ethnically diverse crowd I have ever been a part of. If this music was any indication of what was to come for the evening, then I was more than ready to get things started. Some of those epic songs included “Le Freak” by Chic, “Give Me The Night” by George Benson, as well as “I Wanna Be Your Lover” by Prince. There was a DJ playing old school funk and dance music to warm up the crowd. The people were piling into the “standing room only” area, and the seats in back were slowly being filled. Upon entering the venue, a strong red hue took over the entire room. Admittedly, I didn’t know a lot of their music beforehand, but what I had heard, I really enjoyed. After canvassing the block of 23rd and Lexington, online, to get in to Gramercy Theatre, the “SOLD OUT” sign was in view and I began to understand the hype about Hiatus Kaiyote.
