Bush performs to Sold-out crowd at Del Lago

Multi-platinum rock legend Bush performed at The Vine at Del Lago Resort & Casino with support from DEVORA for a sold-out concert. This was just one of the heavy-hitting concerts the venue has drawn in since the post-covid era, and it continues to be a powerhouse for events in the area.

Kicking off the night was DEVORA, a fresh face in the music scene hailing from Arizona in which front-woman Ariel Devora Levitan describes the genre as “Outlaw Pop.” This is a suitable description as each song performed blended between different genres. Taking the stage dressed in cowboy boots and a hat with a large scorpion necklace, you immediately sense the outlaw country vibes.

Opening up with the band’s hit “Not Dead Yet,” DEVORA set the show’s pace with an easy listening introduction. Fans were well receptive to the performance as the band transitioned between their songs such as “God Is Dead,” “Fist Fight,” and “Wild West.” Overall, the three-piece band was a tight group that sounded good together and was a fine opener for Bush. With the amount of popularity in the Outlaw genre, I fully expect DEVORA to rise and be included on more tours and festivals quickly.

It was time for Bush to take the stage and the crowd was getting roudy in anticipation. The lights go out, and the crowd erupts as the band takes the stage with their new song “Identity” from their most recent album “The Art of Survival.” With a glowing orange light show, singer Gavin Rossdale runs across the stage not missing a beat.

It’s almost like Rossdale is in a musical trance when performing, his body seems to flow freely to the music in sync and the power of his vocals carry through the venue. Bush always puts on a great live show, and this was no exception. Many bands tend to sound overly produced compared to when they perform live, however Bush always delievers a performance that, in my opinion, sounds better than their studio work.

Bush performed a respectable 16 song set that included many of their hits, such as “Machine Head” right away as the second song. The band didn’t take any breaks and flowed through each song flawlessly. During “Bullet Holes,” Rossdale jumped down from the stage and ran into the crowd to give his performance which was obviously very well recieved.

Hearing Bush perform their newer music as well as the classics was fun and a grea experience. It’s exciting to see how bands that have been around as long as Bush have continue to make music and deviate from their older sounds. Bush showcased their talent and why they can still sell-out venues with this performance, delievering a fantastic encore which included “The Kingdom,” “Glycerine,” and “Comedown.”

Bush doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all, especially with the recent announcement they will be touring with Breaking Benjamin this spring. If you have the chance to see Bush, go see them, it’s a really fun show that sounds as good as they do in the studio.

Setlist: Indentity > Machine Head > Blood River > The Chemicals Between Us > Bullet Holes > The Sound of Winter > Flowers on a Grave > Everything Zen > 1000 Years > Quicksand > Heavy Is the Ocean > More Than Machines > Little Things > The Kingdom > Glycerine > Comedown
