February 21, 2020 – Wells Fargo, Philadelphia PA
With his messy-hair, scraggly beard and face etched with “stay away” tattoos, Post Malone may seem an unlikely megastar, but his is undoubtedly one of the biggest singers and songwriters on the planet right now.
The rapper, pop star, rock star, singer and songwriter emerged through a haze of smoke playing to a full house at Wells Fargo. He made his way down a long runway that extended far out in the audience as he opened with the instrumental introduction “Hollywood’s Bleeding” as a quintessential way to start the “Runaway Tour”.
Post Malone dominated the stage and poured so much emotion into very single song. There was no major “theatricals” other than the constant fireworks and flames. It was Post Malone, intimate and raw, showing us who he is and how appreciative he is, being ever so humble thanking the crowd numerous times in between songs for being there.
“I went from sleeping in a closet to being able to tour and come and play and sing these songs for people who want to hear them. And it is the biggest blessing in the f-cking world and I cannot thank you enough.
What makes Post Malones music so well received? The secret can be seen in each hit…starting each song with a chorus. Post’s music is smooth. His sustained vibrato belches combined with hip-hop machine rhythm and rock’s tonal smearing leads you in an almost hypnotic state. The music streams into you and through you.
The audience were all captivated by his versatility, authenticity, his movements and his style. He really is a true ROCKSTAR!
