I might have headbanged a couple of times, but my curls were nowhere near as luscious as Stewart’s. Most arms raised in the air were bare and moving back and forth to the beat-rocking out. But surprisingly, the extended screens were kept to a minimum. In true 21st century fashion, some audience members had their phones up filming their favorite songs for safekeeping, myself included. I’m not the same person I was seven Jeffreys ago,” Jordan spoke to the sold-out venue of roughly 2,000 people as he introduced their song ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ “This song is about that growth and change and whether the person you used to be would recognize the person you are now.” Or better yet, he has the juice, as we both simultaneously called it when I met him and Jordan talking to fans outside after the concert. Dressed in a simple black shirt, Garrison provided the foundation that makes The Band CAMINO such a remarkable musical act and unstoppable force. ![]() He heightened the electric energy in the room with every bass kick and drum fill. Bopping his head along and keeping the heartbeat of each song alive, Burgess was indeed in his element.
