<blockquote>
You almost wished that the band, led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, played with the youthful vigor of their opening act, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.

The openers, from Vermont, performed a short set of soulful rock songs inspired by the 60s and early 70s.

Potter's jean skirt and brown boots garnered whistles on more than one occasion. Audience members yelled "I love you Grace!" as she danced her way between her guitar and keyboards.

She slipped the ballad Apologies between a few harder numbers, showing her versatility. This is the kind of artist – who shrieks like a hell-vixen one minute and then coos like a gentle bird the next – that appeals to both Top-40-listening parents and their rebellious teenagers.

Drummer Matthew Burr, whose hat and mustache made him look like a character from a western, kept heads bobbing throughout the set. The other band members borrowed pieces of his drum set for a thundering finale. </blockquote>
