Shout it out just like a rockstar12/27/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() There was little doubt which of those fans wanted to hear more of. Sunday's set list pulled as heavily from Post's rowdy breakthrough 2018 album, "Beerbongs & Bentleys," as it did the new record. Soon, though, Posty was strutting and bouncing all over the place to happier tunes, including a new one literally called "I Like You (A Happier Song)." He moved around via three long runways that ran the length of the arena floor, with hundreds of fans happily sandwiched between them a pretty nifty stage setup, actually. "Can't be anyone else / So don't let me go, save yourself," he sang as he dramatically clutched a microphone stand and stood still on the main stage at the show's start. This therapeutic theme was prevalent from the start in the opening song "Reputation," a deeply bellowed gut-wrencher that also kicks off his personal new album, "Twelve Carat Toothache." In these cases, it felt like Posty was being the kind of friend who pulls you from the party into a dark corner to open up and tell you everything's going to be all right. In keeping with his more somber, troubled new album, though, some parts of the concert veered sharply toward serious and downcast themes. He talked often to the crowd and drank a lot, chugging beer from a red plastic Solo cup between songs more often than even Toby Keith does (whose hits include "Red Solo Cup"). Sunday's concert had a lot of the same party-hearty, carefree vibes as Posty's prior trip to Xcel Center in 2019, when he packed the arena two nights in a row. "I can't tell you how good it is after 2½ years to come out and just rock this place," the 27-year-old Texan said upon greeting the 14,000-plus fans. His friendliness seemed 100% genuine, too, given this was only the second date on his first post-lockdown tour. Paul performance telling - or showing - the sold-out crowd how happy he was to see them. The tattoo-faced pop singer/rapper of "Circles" and "Rockstar" fame spent a good portion of his 95-minute St. Some of the $50 T-shirts on sale at Xcel Energy Center on Sunday night read "Post Malone likes me," and that slogan turned out be the mantra of the concert. ![]()
