Better Than Ezra At Leach Amphitheater
There are few bands that can capture the energy of a live performance quite like Better Than Ezra did at Leach Amphitheater. The iconic alt-rock trio from New Orleans delivered a show that was equal parts nostalgic and electrifying.
From the opening notes of “Good” — the track that made them a household name back in 1995 — it was clear that Better Than Ezra was here to remind us why they are, well, better than most. The band’s sound has matured over the years, but the raw energy and charm they’ve always carried remained at the forefront. Lead singer Kevin Griffin’s voice still has that gritty, soulful quality that makes songs like “Desperately Wanting” and “At the Stars” feel as urgent and heartfelt as they did when they first hit the airwaves.
The crowd was instantly hooked, singing along to every word as if they were transported back to the ’90s.
As the set continued, they blended in some deeper cuts from their discography—tracks like "A Lifetime" and "King of New Orleans," both of which showed off their ability to write emotionally resonant lyrics while maintaining that upbeat, breezy vibe. The atmosphere in the venue was nothing short of electrifying, with the crowd singing along at full volume, clearly reveling in the nostalgia while also embracing the band's more recent releases.
