Parker also professed to be suffering from some kind of illness (he was drinking Throat Coat tea throughout), but his voice rarely sounded strained throughout the two-plus hour, 24-song set.<\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/10\/sonic-temple-2026-lineup\/\">Tool, My Chemical Romance Set For Sonic Temple<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/10\/soundgarden-kim-thayil-memoir\/\">Soundgarden\u2019s Kim Thayil To Write \u2018Life\u2019 Story<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/10\/can-we-use-that-beat-inside-souls-of-mischiefs-make-your-mind-up\/\">\u2018Can We Use That Beat?\u2019: Inside Souls of Mischief\u2019s \u2018Make Your Mind Up\u2019<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During the first portion, Tame Impala alternated older favorites such as \u201cBreathe Deeper,\u201d \u201cElephant\u201d and \u201cGossip\u201d with more electronic- and dance-driven new tracks such as \u201cDracula,\u201d \u201cAfterthought\u201d and \u201cMy Old Ways,\u201d the latter of which benefited from a heavy, psychedelic breakdown during its midsection.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"_2ACyo54WcE\" style=\"bottom: 0; height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; max-width:100%;\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cSo, as you might know, this is the first night of the world tour,\u201d Parker said. \u201cSo that means it\u2019s a pretty epic night, and there\u2019s nowhere more epic than to kick this shit off than New York City. It also means anything can happen, and by that I mean for the better, but also, anything can fall apart at any moment, just so you know. But it\u2019s all very exciting and electric.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After \u201cFeels Like We Only Go Backwards,\u201d the band ran through an instrumental snippet of the new \u201cNo Reply\u201d as the camera followed Parker off the stage, through a tunnel and then into a bathroom. Thankfully, the cameraman panned down to Parker\u2019s shoes as the artist relieved himself. When he walked back into the arena, he sat down on a smaller platform at the back of the floor, which was encircled by lamps and synthesizers. Parker proceeded to play and sing the new songs \u201cEthereal Connection\u201d and \u201cNot My World\u201d while at times laying flat on his back.<\/p>\n<p>With the aid of confetti cannons and state-of-the-art lasers, the set revved back into rock\u2019n\u2019roll action with \u201cLet It Happen\u201d and \u201cAlter Ego,\u201d the lone song lifted from the band\u2019s 2010 debut, <em>Innerspeaker<\/em>. To begin the encore, Tame Impala played Parker\u2019s Grammy-winning Justice collaboration, \u201cNeverender,\u201d for the first time, then closed things out with the hit \u201cThe Less I Know the Better\u201d and the seven-minute <em>Deadbeat<\/em> finale \u201cEnd of Summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Deadbeat<\/em>\u00a0is the follow-up to 2020\u2019s\u00a0<em>The Slow Rush<\/em>\u00a0and debuted last week at No. 4 the\u00a0<em>Billboard<\/em>\u00a0200. After Tame Impala\u2019s fall shows conclude Nov. 17 in Los Angeles, the group will be back in action with a spring tour of Europe and the U.K., beginning April 4 in Porto, Portugal. Parker will also be on the DJ decks for three early December shows in Australia opening for Justice.<\/p>\n<p>To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2021\/07\/the-greatest-rock-stars-of-all-time\/?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=bottomlink&amp;utm_campaign=yahoolink\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tame Impala&#8217;s Kevin Parker at the &#8220;Deadbeat&#8221; tour opener on Oct. 27, 2025, in Brooklyn, N.Y.
