Pop-rock band Maroon 5 came to GW Friday night to wow DC students with old standards and new hits.
Opening for Maroon 5 was Fitz and the Tantrums, who got the Smith Center crowd going with upbeat tunes like “Rich Girls,” which laments that “rich girls will break your heart; poor girls will take your money,” as well as several songs from their recently-released EP, “Songs for a Breakup, Volume One.”
The headlining band came onstage to massive cheers shortly after 10pm, kicking off the set with one of their most famous songs, “Harder to Breathe.” The crowd went wild soon after as lead singer Adam Levine stripped off his jacket. The group performed all of their hits, including “Makes Me Wonder,” an acoustic version of “She Will Be Loved,” “Sunday Morning,” and “This Love.” Levine also led the crowd in a cover of Alicia Keys’ hit “If I Ain’t Got You,” and gave the crowd a sneak peek at a new song that hasn’t yet been released called “Last Chance.”
Throughout the night, Levine kept the audience entertained, asking various students to hold his water bottle for him, and telling them they were the best crowd he’s seen so far on the Back-to-School Tour.
