Los Angeles, Aug 22 : English singer-songwriter Harry Styles who has been dominating the Instagram reels of the past few days with his “As It Was” track, recently performed the first of his fifteen shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City and etched the moment for ever in the minds of the crowd of around 20,000 people.The former One Direction member made a single request of his fans while on the stage: “I ask only one extremely, very simple thing: I want you to have the most fun you possibly can,” he said, according to Billboard.
Then with smile as he was looking at the crowd of cheering fans thronging into Madison Square Garden, he exuded more excitement “I am challenging you to have as many fun as I have.”
According to Billboard the crowd at the venue did not need this reminder even before Styles appeared on stage, the crowd was performing on a strictly positive vibes basis.
The vibes kicked off with an appearance by Alternative R&B superstar Blood Orange, which saw the singer perform songs like ‘You’re not good Enough’ and ‘Time will Tell’ during a chilled-out set.
Billboard said that they would continue with the crowd singing along to songs from One Direction, Queen and even Frank Sinatra as they waited for Styles to perform on stage.
When he did, the energy increased to 11.The singer was singing to with Styles while he performed recent hits such as ‘Daydreaming’ and “Adore You,” every note of the performance was repeated by a large number of enthusiastic fans.
The space, in contrast was largely unadorned for a show of this size.With just a couple of sets of keyboards and drums on either side.
Styles stage was smack-dab in the middle of the famous concert venue with catwalks that extended to both sides, so that the singer could walk into the stage and perform directly for the audience.
It was a setup Styles was sure he included it early in his collection of bangers.
“Quick disclaimer: the show takes place in 360 degrees and it’s in the round,” he said.”Sometimes we’ll be face-to-face eye-to-eye, soul-to-soul.This means that a portion of the times I’ll be towards you and face-to-ass.If you discover some preference tell me and I’ll give face and ass equally.”
