<\/p>\nBy God, That\u2019s Harry\u2019s Music!<\/h2>\n\n\n\tFor his entrance in a building that\u2019s hosted countless wrestling events over the years, it perhaps makes sense that Harry Styles and his band would take the crowd largely by surprise with their entrance. They walked out during the final song (\u201cLife\u201d) of opener Jamie xx\u2019s DJ set, with Styles\u2019 horn section leading the way and the frontman himself coming out last, not allowing any of the energy the producer had built up during his thumping set to dissipate before launching into their own performance. In other words, if you were hoping to get a drink or have \u201ca wee\u201d in between sets (as Styles would later put it), tough luck: It was already time to disco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nKiss the MSG Floor, But Maybe Not All the Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\tAfter his opening run took him through Harry\u2019s House<\/em> crowd-pleaser \u201cMusic for a Sushi Restaurant,\u201d Styles took a minute to pay a tribute to his iconic host venue by recalling how that morning, he\u2019d been reminded of something he\u2019d done when he first visited MSG as an 18-year-old \u2014\u00a0kissing the World\u2019s Most Famous Arena\u2019s floor. \u201cSince then, we\u2019ve learned a lot about germs \u2014 so I wouldn\u2019t be caught dead kissing the floor these days with my pathetic immune system,\u201d Styles joked. \u201cHowever it is not lost on me what it means to be playing here\u2026 I am thrilled to know that even then it was not lost on me either.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nHarry\u2019s New York Secret<\/h2>\n\n\n\tAbout 1\/3 of the way into his set, Styles offered to let the crowd in \u201con a little secret\u201d \u2014\u00a0and reveal his favorite thing about New York City. But if anyone was hoping the superstar\u2019s new dance fascination would lead him to playing tastemaker for one of the city\u2019s cool new underground clubs, they instead got a far more boyish answer: \u201cYou can get a slice of pizza any time of the night.\u201d However, based on the number of folks in sequined attire and Together, Together shirts at nearby 6th Avenue\u2019s Quality Pizza after the show \u2014\u00a0perhaps those who, like this writer, had planned to grab a bite between sets before learning no such break would be coming \u2014\u00a0Styles might\u2019ve been onto something there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nA Disco \u201cKiwi\u201d K.O.<\/h2>\n\n\n\tHe hadn\u2019t played it on any of his Together, Together dates so far \u2014\u00a0but surely there was no way Harry Styles was gonna come to Madison Square Garden<\/em> and not play his longtime signature rocker \u201cKiwi,\u201d right? Sure enough, he sent the building into a frenzy halfway through his set by launching into the opening lyrics of the garage-rock rave-up. But there would be a twist this time \u2014\u00a0instead of exploding into the song\u2019s typical pounding drums and pummeling guitars during the chorus, the refrain rechanneled its energy to a discofied groove that called back to LCD Soundsystem\u2019s \u201cDaft Punk Is Playing at My House.\u201d And that was only the beginning: The beat exploded from there into a Remain in Light<\/em>-like cowbell breakdown, then sped all the way up to \u201cI Feel Love\u201d tempo, with Styles and his dancers high kicking their way through the frenzy. It was the night\u2019s most experimental and ambitious dance-rock moment \u2014 and also easily its most triumphant. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nDolly Will Always Love MSG<\/h2>\n\n\n\tFrom Stevie Nicks to Shania Twain, Harry Styles has always given it up to his iconic female pop predecessors \u2014\u00a0so you know there was no way he was going to let the evening pass without paying some form of tribute to the late Dolly Parton, whose death has rocked the music world since it was announced on Tuesday (Aug. 25). Indeed, during the set\u2019s first encore, after offering his thanks to his band and crew and to the fans themselves, he held a moment to give \u201cspecial thanks to all the musicians who have inspired me over the years.\u201d And of course, one in particular was on his mind: \u201cDolly, thank you so much.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tFrom there, Styles went on to play Parton\u2019s timeless ballad \u201cI Will Always Love You.\u201d Which is not to say he performed it himself \u2014 he played Parton\u2019s original 1974 recording, getting through two verses and two choruses (encouraging the crowd to sing along) before fading it out and segueing to his own classic ballad \u201cSign of the Times.\u201d But the moment was still an appropriately respectful and reverential one for an artist whose incalculable influence on and importance to the past 60 years of popular music was certainly not lost on Styles. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nStyles Brings It All \u2018Together\u2019 for the Big Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\tThough it has not proven nearly as enduring a chart hit as Harry\u2019s House<\/em> advance smash \u201cAs It Was,\u201d Kiss<\/em> lead single \u201cAperture\u201d has certainly found its place as the climax of his live gig, where he can indulge both his recent love of fiddling around with modular synths and his longtime passion for massive singalong choruses. The \u201cWe belong together\u201d refrain to \u201cAperture\u201d felt particularly undeniable as the culmination of his first MSG gig on this cycle \u2014\u00a0and the very final song of the night, seamlessly swapping spots with \u201cAs It Was\u201d from earlier in the tour.
