Tame Impala touched down in New York on Monday, Oct. 27, to set off the American arena tour supporting the release of Deadbeat. In the first of four packed performances at Brooklyn\u2019s Barclays Center, Kevin Parker and his backing band formally introduced the project and the stage show fans can expect as they cross the country in the next few weeks, complete with live debuts of the bulk of the album\u2019s tracklist.<\/p>\n
Tame Impala set off Friday\u2019s show with the 2012 Lonerism standout \u201cApocalypse Dreams,\u201d which provided a lucid, anthemic opening to Parker\u2019s first non-festival performance since March 2023 and first US appearance since May 2022. The artist and his live ensemble of Dominic Simper, Jay Watson, Julien Barbagallo, Cam Avery, Rafael Lazzaro-Colon and James Ireland proceeded into new material with the hit single \u201cDracula,\u201d currently sitting at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100. This live debut was the first of 10 scattered throughout the show.<\/p>\n
Tame Impala\u2019s first set on the main stage continued with old favorites like \u201cBreathe Deeper,\u201d \u201cBorderline,\u201d \u201cElephant\u201d and Currents rarity \u201cGossip,\u201d alongside first-time treatments of Deadbeat\u2019s \u201cAfterthought\u201d and \u201cMy Old Ways,\u201d the latter holding at #56 on the Hot 100. After blazing through \u201cFeels Like We Only Go Backwards,\u201d Parker departed for a solo DJ set on the B stage, including an electrifying medley of \u201cNo Reply,\u201d \u201cEthereal Connection\u201d and \u201cNot My World.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the final movement of his performance, Parker launched the hypnotic Currents favorite \u201cLet It Happen,\u201d then bolted through new entries \u201cObsolete\u201d and \u201cPiece of Heaven\u201d before wrapping the main portion of the performance with longtime standards \u201cEventually\u201d and \u201cNew Person, Same Old Mistakes.\u201d After a beat for applause, the band lit up an encore with their first live treatment of the 2024 Grammy-winning Justice collaboration \u201cNeverender,\u201d followed by \u201cThe Less I Know the Better\u201d and finally \u201cEnd of Summer,\u201d the closing cut from the new album.<\/p>\n
