Watch: The Weeknd first live concert footage
I’m pretty sure that you and my parents both will excuse my expletives when I say: HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Especially when it’s in reaction to this, live footage from RNB virtuoso The Weeknd‘s very first gig.
Backed by a full band of musicians, Toronto-based singer Abel Tesfaye sounds huge – about 347,490x bigger, louder, smoother and cooler than he evens does on his brilliant self-released and Polaris-nominated debut mixtape House of Balloons.
Check four live tracks below, including set-opener ‘High for This’, as he basks in the revel of an adoring hometown crowd.
