My first thoughts about Dylan’s entrance was the theatrics building up to her gracing the stage were so well executed and if anything was foreshadowing what was to come this was it. She came to the stage and instantly started the party off shredding with “Rebel Child”.Throughout the night the audience at El club a small venue right in Southwest Detroit was exploding with energy which led the British icon to be deemed as “small but mighty”. This factor of the night led to it being quite the intimate showcase with hilarious conversations happening back and forth between the artist and fans that don’t typically happen at shows of larger capacity. With her debut album on the way, we got a taste of what was coming with a very dancey disco unreleased track on the album “Perfect Revenge” reminiscent of the band 1975. From ripping on guitar to Taylor Swift/Sam Smith covers And capping off the night with a perfect track for the end of any concert “nothing lasts forever” Dylan turned this intimate crowd into a “small but mighty” party.
