When was the last time you went to a concert where it felt like your friend was on stage?

Saturday night at the Warfield was for love and for lovers. After a brief introduction and warmup from DJ Tiiiiiiiiiip to put the crowd in the groove, jungle bobby led a slick but engrossing half-hour of trippy and unquestionably cool beats that spoke to the need for peace and community and weed. His backing visuals were nonexistent but none were needed; in trance-triggering clothing and an enshrouding feather boa he lulled the audience with relaxed flow after flow, making the moments when he would drop in to a unleash a flurry of staccato bars all the more memorable.

After an intermission brief enough to keep all the energy of the crowd alive, bbno$ took the stage. Eye-searingly bright screens with frantic visuals, lasers slicing over the heads of the pit, and a thundering bass that rattled the front doors of the theater were furious and near-constant companions for the better part of the next two hours as the rapper led the crowd through favorite after favorite. One moment the hit track “it boy” saw the audience jumping and joining in the chorus to the point of outsinging the actual artist; one moment saw bbno$ brandishing and reading from a cookbook in his silken silver suit that later in the show would be awarded to a fan with a broken arm; one moment saw the lights drop for the more sensitive song “meant to be” as fans could catch their breath and sway.

The last chunk of the set saw jungle bobby return to the stage with a vibe of two best friends discovering their music in real-time and the show closed with an unreleased track that tested the venue’s sound system. Through all these moments the energy in the theater stayed consistently electric even as it varied in voltage. Faces lit up as eagerly for slower ballads as they did for cataclysmic favorites like “two” and for half-improvised skits that sometimes preceded tracks. As an artist handed me a few self-illustrated stickers they’d made as a gift, a concertgoer a few feet away took photos with two furries that had attended a show in full suit. bbno$ has carved out a uniquely varied and accepting fanbase with strong roots on the internet, and seeing it come together in person made for not only a great show but a great time.
