D'ANGELO and the VANGUARD
FYF 2015
EXHIBITION PARK, LA
23 AUGUST, 2015
Last December, with no notice whatsoever, D'Angelo dropped Black Messiah, his long-awaited followup to 2000's Voodoo. Putting together a crack band dubbed the Vanguard, he proceeded to hit the road, and his booking on the FYF bill became a must-see. There's an element of baited breath as well, especially when one has been off the road for that amount of time, but there was no cause for worry. With the Vanguard hitting on all cylinders, D'Angelo marched through his catalog soul-revue style, not pausing between songs, just unleashing. In a festival of surprise performances, it was an amazing grace note.
