The band, led by charismatic frontman Josh Homme, seemed to connect deeply with the sentiment that life's moments are fleeting and should be cherished.

Weathering personal tribulations and a world upended by a pandemic, Homme and his bandmates have emerged with fervor visible in their electrifying performance. Their recent release, In Times New Roman..., poignantly reflects on the band's collective hardships with visceral emotion, akin to jagged fishhooks ensnaring the flesh.

That night, the audience was treated not just to fan favorites such as No One Knows, Feel Good Hit of the Summer, and Go With the Flow, but also to rare gems that carry a special weight of anticipation and nostalgia.

In an unforgettable moment, the band rolled out 3’s & 7’s from Era Vulgaris, a track that had not graced a live audience since 2018, alongside an emotionally charged performance of I Appear Missing from …Like Clockwork at a fan's behest.
