On Saturday night, thousands of fans gathered at the main stage of Camp Bisco to witness Derek Vincent Smith’s latest music project, Pretty Lights Live. Their performance came just three weeks before their highly-anticipated debut performance at The Gorge in Washington on August 4th and 5th. The Gorge show will kick off the second year of their two-day “Episodic Festivals” spanning across the country. Camp Bisco was to be the live band’s last festival before the Season 2 premiere at The Gorge, and the excitement in the air was palpable as Smith and the band took the stage.
The set was nothing short of spectacular as the band played a variety of songs, ranging from Pretty Lights’ second album to dropping new tracks that may appear on the new album Smith has been working on. The new album will be the first since the 2014 Grammy-nominated Color Map of the Sun. During the set, Pretty Lights Live performed several “Flips” which has become a staple of the new live band. Flips are the moments when Smith will cut out the pre-recorded track, allowing each of the band members to improvise resulting in never-before-heard music. This improvisation allows them to play the same songs at different stops while also creating a constantly-unique experience for those who follow Pretty Lights Live.
On top of the oldies and the new tracks, Pretty Lights Live surprised many long-time fans by closing the last half of the set with many unreleased tracks that often go years without being played. Most notable of the unreleased tracks was the Pretty Lights Live debuts of “Wayfaring Stranger” and “It’s Tricky”–both of which were last played during solo sets at Basslights 2015. Camp Bisco showed that Pretty Lights Live is moving forward with more steam than ever before. Be sure to check out the videos and full set list featured below.
