Inside Pretty Lights' Futuristic, Blissed-Out Three-Night Run In St. Augustine

Published on Thursday, 28 November 2024 00:10

Pretty Lights and his band have an uncanny ability to leave a cosmic footprint in any city they perform in, leaning in and listening closely to the distinct heartbeat of each city on their tour.

This was certainly the case when the Soundship Spacesystem landed in the nation's oldest city, St. Augustine, Florida. The three-night run transformed the city's timeless charm into kaleidoscopic ecstacy.

In a twist of fate, the Pretty Lights show coincided with St. Augustine's iconic Night of Lights festival, which illuminates the city with over three million twinkling Christmas lights.

Some of the many highlights from the highly anticipated weekender included Pretty Lights' electric rendition of Chappel Roan's hit "Pink Pony Club" as well as Lynyrd Skynyrd's ageless "Freebird," the latter of which featured a gripping live guitar performance by Pretty Lights' Production Manager and Audio Engineer, Phil Salvaggio.

While the band's live covers, samples and flips enthralled us, Pretty Lights' original music lit the fuse of the night's explosive energy. "Rainbows and Waterfalls," "New Heights," "Only Yesterday" and "Color of My Soul" were a few of the many highlights throughout the weekend.

The St. Augustine Amphitheater served as the ideal backdrop for the magical weekend, with perfect stage views around the entire venue. The Amp, which was built to memorialize the 400th anniversary of St. Augustine's founding, rooted the performances in the city's history while allowing for futuristic, jaw-dropping visuals and top-tier sound.
