We’ve gone through a lot together, whether it was getting robbed together or living together in a house for three years or just being poor and taking any gigs we could get to make money. We also spent four years playing in tiny clubs to no people and also knew that feeling together as a band. It’s incredible as this young of a band to be playing arenas. We’ve been a band now for eight years, and the longer you’re together the more you know each other as musicians and the better it feels on stage. How was it to transition to stadiums and arenas for this last tour?
It’s incredibly rare to see a band get as big as Imagine Dragons has within a few years. Smoke + Mirrors just translated particularly well live because of the vulnerability of the album.
Whereas with Night Visions, I wrote that over four years, so sometimes songs didn’t feel relevant to me anymore. It came easier ’cause I was able to get behind the songs and the lyrics because they were real things that I was going through. For me, it made it more real every night to be able to get on stage. It’s just a really emotional album and vulnerable. A lot of the songs were just played as a band in a studio as opposed to Night Visions a lot of it was just kind of put together. Like, Night Visions was really fun to play live, but I don’t feel like it translated as well live as Smoke + Mirrors did, particularly because we tracked a lot of this album live. It translated well live just because it’s a really dynamic album. This record in particular was a special record to all of us. What made this tour in particular so special for the band? I actually think it will be a few locations, but I couldn’t tell you which locations those were. I can’t say any specifics on that because we don’t know the specifics yet, but yes, we are definitely going to go see it with some fans in at least one location. Will the band be making appearances at any of the theaters? I thought this would be a cool way to bring people together who are in similar cities and may have met each other on Twitter because of the band. Twitter makes it so that people that haven’t ever met grow friendships together.
Our fans are a close community even though they’re spread out around the world. We wanted to capture it and figured it’d be really cool to do it in a setting where fans could come together and go into a theater and experience something like that. We worked with the Moment Factory, a really, really rad production company, and we put together a show that felt really special. We always wanted to do this, but we just finally were able to put it together and felt like this tour really had kind of a special vibe to it. What made you guys decide to release this concert film as one-night-only event for your fans? “I honestly feel like social media has been really important to us to help us really feel close to our fans, even though we haven’t met.”īlack Sabbath on the Making of 'Vol. “We put out an album that hit hard, and I really feel like we have a community now from touring pretty relentlessly for eight years,” he said. Singer Dan Reynolds recently spoke with Rolling Stone about the film, Smoke + Mirrors tour opener Halsey and the band’s tight-knit fan community before Imagine Dragons embarked on the short final leg of their world tour. The film will not only unite fans across North America it will also stand as a testament to the incredible production values featured on Imagine Dragons’ most recent world trek. local time, Fathom Events presents a cinematic recap of the band’s massive Toronto show - performed for an audience of 15,000 - during their tour in support of last year’s Smoke + Mirrors.
