The concert, which had a runtime of 90 to 120 minutes, was used to perform the entire
An Evening With Silk Sonic album. It opened with fog coming out "from under a red velvet curtain". The "venue went dark", which meant the start of the show. A disco ball hovered over the seats, while two screens on "opposite sides of the stage" showed images of the duo drinking "cocktails in a tropical setting with flowery button-up shirts". The curtain lifted, and "sunset orange beams" filled the stage and displayed "giant multicolored stars", "streaks of rainbows", and a neon "shell-style background". At this point, Mars and .Paak had a "bongo and drum face-off". A giant screen came down from the roof "with an animated spaceship", while
Bootsy Collins's "Silk Sonic Intro" played, followed by Mars playing a "teal guitar" and then screaming, "Let’s go!". It fitted Silk Sonic's sound and .Paak joked, "Some of them look mad." His unscripted and mid-set observations "kept the crowd engaged and entertained". During their performance of their version of "
Love's Train", Mars interpolated
Earth, Wind, & Fire's "
Can't Hide Love" and danced choreographed routines. The duo also played solo tracks from each other, Mars's "
That's What I Like" with "
Earth, Wind & Fire vibes", which had individual spotlights for each artist, and the stage went dark for a slowed-down and intimate version of the song. .Paak's own "Am I Wrong", taken from
Malibu (2016), was "delivered in slow and sexy arrangements", as "yellow
fireworks flared like giant sparklers". This was followed by a solo trumpet of "
Everybody Loves the Sunshine" by
Maurice "Mobetta" Brown. It was used as an interlude between Mars's "
Treasure", with .Paak singing in the bridge, and "Fly as Me" where the duo used "
ad-libbing" with various "vocal breakdowns". During the latter performance, .Paak asked the fans to "throw their hands up and let loose" as he used the whole stage, sliding from one side to the other as he joked, "Where's the ladies with some money in their pockets?" This was followed by a "costume change into glitzy black jackets" to sing an extended version of "
Smokin out the Window", which featured improvisation with vocal breakdowns. They sang a medley of "Put On A Smile", "Make it Better", and "
When I Was Your Man", the former song with some portions
a cappella. Sometimes, this medley would include
The Dramatics's "
In the Rain" instead of "Make it Better" and Mars's "When I Was Your Man" as an "acoustic outro" featuring a "thunderstorm backdrop above a park bench". It was followed by "
After Last Night", where Mars played a guitar solo under a blue spotlight, reminiscent of
Prince and
Michael Jackson. Paak played the drums during Mars's "
Runaway Baby", while Mars played the drums for .Paak's "Come Down", the former featured a dance portion performed by Mars. He was compared to
James Brown. Then, "the spaceship visuals" resurged for Mars and .Paak's performance of "Blast Off" had some portions sung a cappella, and when it ended, the lights shut down. The curtain was lifted up for an encore performance of the show closer, "
Leave the Door Open". In the end, confetti cannons were fired as the curtain closed. ==Reception and other shows==
