The neo-soul of sex-croon hero D’Angelo gave the Sutro stage a sexual soaking on Friday night, arriving with his band in a white wide-brimmed hat and floor-sweeping cloak, with a shredded shirt and cape beneath. The 75 minute set was punctuated by the Black Messiah track “The Charade,” which he dedicated to “all the victims of senseless police brutality”. With guitar in hand, pucker on the lips and a deep sensuality in every note, the man gave an unbelievably good performance that was more than a little difficult to break away from in order to catch headliners Mumford & Sons. I should’ve stayed put.
