Sob rocker John Mayer marks the first show at the not-quite-ready Moody Center.
called “Bless The Mood” at the ribbon-cutting for the Moody Center. Last night, inside the new Frank Erwin Center replacement on the UT campus, audiences posed with lit-up jumbo letters reading “In The Mood.”
All sounded clear and looked fantastic during the first public concert at the new 15,000-plus-capacity arena, despite a few logistical hiccups in the just-finished, not-quite-ready building. Mood-wise, the striking wood-and-glass-enclosed structure feels much more energetically integrated into the campus than its predecessor across MLK. I recommend a pre-show visit to the massive mezzanine balcony for a sunset view stretching from the capitol to the UT tower. I did have to hike up a not-operating escalator to get there, one of a few wonky encounters at the stadium joining crowd complaints of a water leak flooding a bathroom and toasty temperatures.
Luckily, the Moody has a week until their official grand opening, April 29-30, with George Strait, Willie Nelson & Family, and Randy Rogers Band – a title perhaps withheld from Mayer due to his Connecticut-born, watch aficionado status. Whereas the latter played against one end of the arena, Strait’s show will try out expanded capacity with a centered stage.
