It was the kind of concert where you spend all of the next day contemplating your life, remembering every magic moment in vivid blurs, adapting \u201cWhere\u2019s The Love?\u201d on piano and just feeling upbeat and giddy about whatever because last night you saw Hanson!<\/p>\n

It was an absolute effing delight to find them in the same general spirits they gave off back when we first listened to them all the time, all the time. Honestly, we\u2019re having a hard time writing this review, like it\u2019s too personal to know what even happened that night.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s try.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s try.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been a band for 21 years now, and their newest album release, Anthem<\/em>, has them on an Anthem World Tour. After a long intermission between the end of the opening band and Hanson\u2019s set up, they charged onto the stage like motivational speakers about to exorcise our blues and take us to the next level. They\u2019ve become a glorified funk band with layers of Michael Jackson and The Monkees.<\/p>\n

Taylor has ripened into a lovely specimen of vocal splendor; he sounds the same but better and sexier, with the same well-placed moans and ooo\u2019s. Just take Taylor and make him 30, it\u2019s like that; he is a mythical creature who walks among us. You think you got over him in 1998, but that\u2019s only because you haven\u2019t seen him in concert yet.<\/p>\n

He was dressed in a black shirt, black jeans, with black leather suspenders and brown boots. If he had come out in a tuxedo, snapping his fingers and flipping his hair, I don\u2019t think any of us would have been able to handle it. We would\u2019ve all fainted and died like the girl in the music video (for their new single \u201cGet The Girl Back\u201d). In case you still think you are too cool for Hanson, you might want to research Taylor\u2019s super-group project Tinted Windows. Yeah, even the Smashing Pumpkins love him. So upload that indie album into your iPhone and smoke it.<\/p>\n

And Zac\u2019s a charismatic man now, with a lion\u2019s mane, muscles and the beginning outlines of Dave Grohl facial hair. And Isaac was still Isaac.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t changed at all!\u201d Isaac yelled, and then said something about his guitar, alone on stage, about to do a solo song. The guitar had gone out of tune. He was going to tune it. Roadies kept trying to take the guitar, he was like, \u201cI got this!\u201d Then Zac came onstage, put his hand on Isaac\u2019s shoulder and was like, \u201cYou go tune. I\u2019ll play a song\u201d and walked over to the piano; solution-oriented; so freakin charming.<\/p>\n

They played mostly new songs off the album, and spiced it up with \u201cWhere\u2019s The Love?\u201d and\u201d Mmmbop\u201d from Middle of Nowhere<\/em>. They also did \u201cGive a Little\u201d from their 2010 album, whatever that was called, we\u2019re not looking it up right now, we\u2019re trying to write this review on time.<\/p>\n
