A stage full of iconic long brown locks, contagious lyrics, cascading lights, guitar rifts and percussive beats took the audience, both, new and old, into a Haim microcosm full of free-range emotion and pure enjoyment. The energy was electric, fitting for a group that’s no stranger to rocking out and turning lyrics into tangible keepsakes show goers can hang onto for life.
