Before the thunder of\u00a0Queens of the Stone Age<\/a> filled Davies Symphony Hall, an unexpected quiet fell – courtesy of Paris Jackson<\/a>, who opened the show with an intimate acoustic performance that startled and captivated the San Francisco audience.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson has long been determined to build a musical identity apart from her father’s legacy.<\/p>\n

At the home of the San Francisco Symphony on Monday, Nov. 10, she made that separation sound effortless – performing a raw, eight-song set that leaned on new material from her forthcoming album with songwriter and producer Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes, including songs like “Zombies in Love,” “Drain” and “My Buckling Knees.”<\/p>\n

Seated alone on a stool, illuminated by a single spotlight, Jackson performed with a quiet intensity that contrasted the night’s headliners.<\/p>\n

“Thank you guys for being so supportive. For coming early,” she told the crowd as latecomers shuffled to their seats in the dark.<\/p>\n

Introducing “Gaslight,” Jackson asked whether anyone in the audience had ever been manipulated in a relationship.<\/p>\n

After a burst of cheers, she laughed: “Y’all are weird up north.”<\/p>\n

Her stripped-down set precedes a full-length release that she’s described as deeply personal and “hard for some people to hear.”<\/p>\n

The performance also follows her run of festival appearances – including BottleRock Napa Valley<\/a> in 2023 – and a year marked by openness about her sobriety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Honored last month for her work supporting women in recovery, she said, “I didn’t just get my life back. I got a better one.”<\/p>\n

In a concert hall built for grandeur, Jackson’s minimalist set carried a surprising weight.<\/p>\n
