On Wednesday, the Nashville rock band Kings of Leon played at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

While the arena wasn’t full, there were still a good number of screaming fans there ready to sing every word with the band.

Kings of Leon have been around since their first album, Holy Roller Novocaine EP in 2003. Although most people think they only have two songs, “Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody,” they have six albums, and they played at least one song from each album during their concert.

The opener was Gary Clark Jr., a blues and retro singer from Austin, Texas. He had good set, but I only saw the end of it because of the KOL meet and greet. But what I saw was different than a lot of the other music we hear today. He plays songs with a variety from blues to garage rock.

I heard someone at the concert say “he’s better than John Mayer,” for reasons unknown to me, because he sounds more like a mix between Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Avett Brothers.

His set was simple, based solely around his music, something to be appreciated. I thought he was a strong opener for the family band KOL.

As for the main show, it was filled with cool visuals such as lasers and video montages that all fit in to their show. But besides that, they had a simple stage like Clark, based around them and their instruments. There wasn’t much movement from the men, mostly just focused on their performance.

They started the show with “Charmer,” one of their more scary songs. Caleb Followill, the lead singer, screams a lot and has a lot of energy, and the song was a good start to their exciting set.

They didn’t fill their time talking to the audience – they just played good music. A lot of their pieces came from their newest album, “Mechanical Bull,” but they still played other songs for fans like me that know every word to every song they’ve ever produced.

I’m surprised at how many of their lesser-known and unconventional songs they played, but that shows that they were hoping they had true fans in the audience, ones that didn’t start listening to them with the drop of “Only By The Night.”

Their sound was perfect, almost a mirror image on what they have on their records. They rely heavily on their fans to sing along with the words and the show was a great success. I don’t think there’s much room for improvement from the men, except to maybe have sung my personal favorite song, “Arizona.”
