Last night, ODESZA (Harrison Mills, Clayton Knight) kicked off Memorial Day weekend with the first of two sold-out shows at Morrison, CO's storied Red Rocks Amphitheatre by mixing in live versions of unreleased material with debuts of new instrumentation and visual design. Selling out their third annual Red Rocks dates within an hour of on-sale (19k tickets), and with over 9,500 attendees on the first night, the duo performed newest releases "Late Night" and "Line Of Sight (feat. WYNNE & Mansionair),” with WYNNE performing lead vocals on “Line Of Sight” live for the first time ever.ODESZA also unveiled their full live production setup, including an innovative slate of custom live visuals and effects with a brand new video and lighting rig.
The duo brought out live musicians throughout their set, incorporating the eight-piece ODESZA drum line, trombonist Scott Flynn, trumpeter Brennan Carter, and guitar/bassist Sean Kusanagi. Fan favorites such as “Memories That You Call", “Sun Models”, and “Always This Late” were among several songs reworked for the new live show, with some songs calling for all thirteen musicians onstage at the same time.
