When the duo embarked on their Obsessed tour in 2017, they posted a short video after each show. I attended the Grand Rapids, Michigan show at 20 Monroe live on April 6th with my friend and her husband. The venue, which was new to the area at the time, holds over 2,000 people and this was the largest crowd I saw them perform in front of as headliners. There was standing room only space on the main floor and reserved seating in the balcony. The three of us stood in the middle of the pack downstairs.
On April 8th, Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney took to their social media accounts and YouTube channel to post a recap of the concert, which included footage of the crowd and the duo backstage preparing to go out on stage.
Both guys have always been comical and goofy on social media, especially in the first few years of their careers. Mooney stated a fact about my hometown with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"A little unknown fact that you might not know about Grand Rapids, Michigan," the lead vocalist said. "Back in 1942, this is where beer was founded."
Next, the screen had the correct fact in all caps. It read, "Incorrect. Beer actually founded in Mesopotamia in 7000 BC."
Next, there was footage of the duo, their band, and some crew members standing in a circle for the pre-show huddle, with Mooney showing off his wide vocal range, singing the introduction to the "Circle Of Life" from The Lion King. Then Dan + Shay and their band headed down to the stage A full shot of the crowd is shown, but I cannot pick myself, my friend, and her husband out. Footage from the concert is shown with Dan + Shay's song "Sway" playing in the background. At the end, the guys are seen exiting the stage.
Stay tuned for a future post where I break down this concert!
Below is the recap video courtesy of Dan + Shay's YouTube channel! Enjoy!
