Kings of Leon, Kings of New York

On Thursday January 29th, Kings of Leon headlined a sold-out Madison Square Garden.

For a band who is huge in much of the world, and relatively unknown in their own country, this has been long overdue.

From the beginning, the crowd was ready to love the band, and the Kings didn't disappoint.  Quoting from their song Manhattan, "We're gonna show this town how to kiss these stars".  

The highlight of the show had to be The Single.  As the band hit the first chorus of Sex on Fire, the Garden exploded, singing it back to the band, and nearly drowning them out.  

Brilliant show. Brilliant band.
