READY, WILLING, ABEL: Back in 2012, I remember speaking with a friend who had attended Coachella for
the sole purpose of catching the Weeknd’s first U.S. show, only his third-ever live performance. My friend was
disappointed, to say the least. On the previous year’s trilogy of introductory mixtapes, the singer, born Abel
Tesfaye, crafted a seductive version of indie-friendly R&B, but all that cool was apparently stripped away when
Tesfaye no longer had vocal effects and blog hype to hide behind. His stop at Moda Center on Oct. 6 proved this
is no longer the case. The Starboy himself arrived by beaming up through the floor. The stage featured a catwalk
that jutted out deep into the floor seats, and over that hung a color-changing platform that looked like Damocles’
star destroyer when suspended a mere feet above Tesfaye’s impressive coif. This was a downright spectacle, and
the music wasn’t shabby either. Tesfaye’s voice is markedly improved from his early days, and so is his stage pres-
ence. And his three-piece band plowed through the songs with precision and dexterity. Some of it bordered on
schmaltzy, with “Real Life” and “Earned It” making an eventual Vegas residency seem almost inevitable. “The
Morning” and “Wicked Games,” both from his debut mixtape, appeared back-to-back, relatively unadorned
and stripped down in comparison to the rest of the show. Belting those songs’ soaring hooks that first appeared
shrouded in digital reverb, Tesfaye showed just how far he’s come. PATRICK LYONS.
