Explosions in the Sky are one of my favorite bands, anyway. They played an epic set, as usual. I was heartened by the enthusiasm of the crowd in general and of many of the fans around me. There will always be those unwilling to like any band standing between them and NIN, but for me, this was an ideal opener. Musical, beautiful, loaded with emotional crescendos - the music fills the room and fills your spirit. I can't watch those guys without getting swept up and swept away.
