If you are a fan of Anderson .Paak or Bruno Mars and you didn’t go to see their Las Vegas Residency last year, I am sorry. This is for sure the biggest regret of your entire life. 

As a Jew, I have an uncanny knack for pinching pennies, I pinch them so hard that sometimes they break in half. This afforded me the opportunity to fly out to Vegas and see them nearly front row with wifey. This is and will be the only time in our lives that we will be equally hyped to see a show. We spent an absurd amount of our nest egg on this, but it was worth every penny.

I discovered .Paak before many did, as somehow he didn’t skyrocket to fame after killing it all over Dr. Dre’s Compton album. I never heard anyone really talking about him after that, but I was instantly hooked, and quickly discovered “Suede” after, his breakout track with Knxwledge. I’ve been blessed to have seen him live 3 times prior to the Silk Sonic show, twice in 2016, and once in 2019. I’ve told everyone who will listen (no one) that his live show is the best I’ve ever seen.

Throw in Bruno Mars, and you’ve got better fireworks than ISIS has in the stash. I won’t lie, I took a fair amount of Molly before this show, as I wanted to get my money’s worth. I made the right call, as I occasionally do. Afterwards, I went up to the merch booth with scarily massive pupils, and demanded one of everything they had. They for sure hooked it up on the price too, because they thought I was funny/crazy. They weren’t wrong. 

The Silk Sonic Show might as well be a magic show, as it’s the equivalent of going to Disneyland as a 5 year old child. That sums it up. If they do more shows and you’re a fan, you better do everything in your power to go. I’d refinance a home or take out a small business loan, whatever it takes.
