But there were plenty of poignant moments, too, like Brown - sporting a stenciled Detroit Rock City T-shirt and a fedora - dedicating “My Old Man” to his father, who’s in the hospital, “Loving You Easy” and the usual pairing of the group’s “Free” with Van Morrison’s “Into The Mystic.” Like the show’s look the setlist focused on the group’s rootsier side while still retaining its particular blend of Dave Matthews Band jamming and Jimmy Buffett/Kenny Chesney good times. The encore, meanwhile, was a Shazam-worthy medley that spotlighted each of the band members on a variety of modern rock (Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality,” the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage”) and classic rock (Elton John’s “Bennie & the Jets,” ZZ Top’s “Tush,” Sly & the Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin),” AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”) favorites Multi-instrumentalist John Driskell Hopkins stole the show as led the group through a straight-faced version of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.” (Clay Cook deserves points, too, for sporting a Def Leppard T-shirt, nodding to one of the co-headliners of Friday night’s show at Comerica.)Īll of that was good fun - and in the case of “Bohemian Rhapsody” pretty darn impressive - but it complemented rather than eclipsed what the ZBB did with its own material.
