Bruno Mars concert chronology

The Doo-Wops & Hooligans Tour was the first headlining concert tour by American singer and songwriter Bruno Mars launched in support of his debut studio album Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010). He toured North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, the Caribbean and South America. The tour, and its North American dates, were announced in October 2010. Dates for the rest of the tour were announced later. The first leg in North American opened with Donnis performing his songs. In February 2011, Mars and Janelle Monáe announced a joint co-headlining tour leg in North America called "Hooligans in Wondaland" running through May until June. This coincided with their performances at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. Paradigm and AEG produced the show.

The set list featured most of the songs from Doo-Wops & Hooligans, along with covers of Barrett Strong's "Money (That's What I Want)", Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army". Mars also performed his singles, "Nothin' on You" and "Billionaire". In 2011, Plan B, Patrick Stump or Mayer Hawthorne & The County opened most of the Hooligans in Wondaland tour dates. In late 2011, Skylar Grey or Tanya Lacey opened the shows scheduled in Europe. Mars performed "Grenade" or "Lighters" interpolated with "Talking to the Moon" as he show's encore encore.

The Doo-Wops & Hooligans Tour received a generally positive to mixed reception from music critics. They praised not only Mar's energy and the skill of his performances but also his abilities on the drums and guitar solos, and as his showmanship. Others criticized the show's volume as it hid Mar's falsetto vocal nuances, and the number of covers he performed. The tour was nominated for a Pollstar Award.

Background and development

On September 9, 2010, it was announced that Mars would promote Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010) as the opening act for Maroon 5 and One Republic, on the fall leg of the Hands All Over Tour in North America. He later joined Travis McCoy to co-headline a European tour. On the same day, The Doo-Wops & Hooligans Tour to support Mar's first studio album and the first North American tour dates were disclosed.[1] Dates were announced for Europe and Oceania in January 2011.[2][3] On November 11, 2010, tickets went on sale for additional dates added to the North America leg of the tour.[4] Paradigm was announced as the tour's producer.[5] The first setlist included seven songs from the Doo-Wops & Hooligans album, an unreleased song, and three different cover songs.[6]

In 2011, Mars turned down several requests to open shows for other artists on arena tours. He decided instead to co-headline a tour with Monáe. This deliberate strategy meant lower earnings in the short term, however, it allowed Mars to build a fan base by performing shows at smaller, more intimate venues. This enabled him to launch his follow-up tour, The Moonshine Jungle Tour, where he was able to perform as a solo act in arenas around the globe.[7][8] During the same year, a new setlist was developed including some of the same songs as well as others that were not played much in 2010. "Runaway Baby", "Liquor Store Blues" and an encore including "Lighters" and "Talking to the Moon" were added to this new setlist.[9][10]

Sound equipment

During the Hooligans in Wondaland tour, the performers had Clair sound gear, DiGiCo SD8, Waves sound-grid bundle and two Digi-Racks per console, as part of their sound equipment. Mar's and Monáe's engineers shared the consoles. Technician Ben Rothstein handled The Clair systems. In addition, Derek Brener, Mar's front of house (FOH) engineer controlled six FOH inputs such as CD player, Pink Noise and FOH TB. He controlled a number of outputs including the Stereo Master, Stereo Auxiliar Output for Subwoofers, Mono Matrix Output for Front Fill, Mono Listening Assisted Feed, Mono feed to Smaart, and a Stereo Delay feed to TC Electronic D-Two Delay. Brener also controlled the EL-8si Distressors on Bruno's vocal and bass. Hall Verb was employed for drums and horns, Mono and Stereo delay for vocals, R-Verb for vocals, and C-4 comps for guitars.[11]

Mike Graham, Mar's monitor engineer, managed around 50 inputs for the artist and his band. Despite being a standard performance, there were "a lot of stereo keyboards and playback lines from Pro Tools". Mars and the band had nine stereo ear mixes. Mars had two pairs of speaker wedges downstage center. The inner pair was mixed with Mar's voice and a couple of background vocals, while the outer pair had the band mix along with his guitar on top.[11]

Alex McCloud, Moane's monitor engineer, managed 52 inputs for the singer and her band. The setup was very close to that used by Mars. Everyone had in-ear mixes and Monáe had wedge mix and sidefill speakers in front. The Waves' C4 plug-in was used to "round up" Monáe's vocals removing some of the pitch when she leaned into the microphone. Reggie Griffith, Monáe's FOH assistant during this tour used the Waves C4 on the singer's vocals. Griffith and Nate "Rocket" Wonder were responsible for mixing Monáe's tracks. Wonder worked in tandem on a Yamaha PM5D.[11]

Synopsis

Mars performing in Houston, Texas.

Rapper Donnis opened for the first leg of the North American tour.[12] Alex Hepburn appeared at some of the European shows, while hip hop duo Diafrix supported Mars in Australia.[13][14] A second leg in North America, called "Hooligans in Wondaland", was announced and included Mayer Hawthorne & The County, Patrick Stump or Plan B as the supporting acts.[15][16][17] The band consisted of Phillip Lawrence (backup vocals), Phredley Brown (keyboard), Jamareo Artis (bass), Eric Hernandez (drums), Kameron Whalum, Dwayne Dugger and James King (horns), Kenji Chan (guitar) and Mars.[upper-alpha 1][9] The singer usually wore a Fedora with a "plaid flannel-turned-vest" or a sleeveless denim jacket on top of a t-shirt, sometimes with a Harley-Davidson design, and black jeans.[10][18][19] Mars wore a black suit and tie at some shows in the United Kingdom. He used a Fender Stratocaster guitar.[20] The stage had different square screens projecting various images and lights, flashing graphic colors and video.[10][18] Mar's set was 60 to 80 minutes long and included rehearsed comedic interludes.[10][9][21] Critics noted the difference the backup band and the arrangements made to the sound of the live versions of the songs compared to those on the album.[20][22][23]

The show started with Mars playing a drum solo or with rock versions of "The Other Side" and "Top of The World" with its dance breakdown.[6][23][24] The show included covers of songs by other artists mashed up with Mar's tracks.[6][10][18] Then Mars sang a rock cover of "Money" by Barrett Strong. This served as an interlude before Travie McCoy and Mar's "Billionaire" when the crowd often sang along.[18][19][22] Mars performed "Our First Time", the next track on the setlist, in a sensual way described as "fatal" to female fans.[18] It was followed by the funky "Runaway Baby", which showed some impressive, James Brown-inspired footwork and dance moves by Mars.[24][20][25] In some shows, this was replaced by a mash-up of Michael Jackson's" Billie Jean" and The White Stripes's "Seven Nation Army" to the rhythm of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. Music critics found this a fun way to allow Mars to show off his guitar skills.[6][22][24] Later Mars sang the romantic ballad "Marry You" while the crowd sang along[18][24][26] as they did to the "satiric" "The Lazy Song"—one of the highlights of the tour.[18][26] It contained a comedic moment when Mars’s backup singer and songwriting partner, Phillip Lawrence, shouted "Oh my God, that feels great!" and the band stopped to "goof on" it.[19][22] The island feeling continued with the next song on the setlist, "Count On Me", another singalong, where Mars switched his guitar for a ukulele.[20][24][26] "Liquor Store Blues" was first performed during a series of shows in 2011.[9][10] Mars dedicated a rendition of "Nothin' on You", singing one of the rap verses himself, to a girl in the crowd.[26][24] The next song in the 2010 setlist was "Just the Way You Are". It was dedicated to the girls in the crowd who sang along while holding up their smartphones.[25] Mars asked the men to treat "their ladies" with more affection.[10] At the end of the show, Mars would leave the stage. Then Philip Lawrence would ask them if they wanted more. Eventually, Mars would return to sing "Grenade" as an encore.[6][26] He would performed it a cappella or in powerful rock version.[19][24][25] In 2011, Mar's setlist changed, and a mash up of a shortened version of "Lighters" along with "Talking to the Moon" were performed as an encore as he thanked the crowd for coming to the show.[9][24]

Critical response

The tour received generally positive to mixed reviews from critics. Jordan Levin writing for the Miami Herald praised the show, saying that Mars and Monáe displayed "talent". He noticed they both often interacted with the crowd between and during songs.[18] Deanna Ramsay of The Jakarta Post gave the show a positive review, noting Mars was able to coax the crowd into sing along with him on most of the songs. She described Mars as a "truly global star".[26] The Boston Herald's Jim Sullivan noticed that "young girls" screamed loudly for Mars as they used to do for Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and that his showmanship was like theirs.[27] The Express-Times's Lynn Olanoff felt the show lived up to fans' expectations. His performance confirmed her belief Mars is "one of the best male vocalists" on radio.[24] In a similar review, Holly Frith writing for Gigwise commented that the show did not disappoint the crowd; she also praised Mar's showmanship.[9] Robert Ham of The Oregonian explained that the singer had the spectators' attention throughout the entire concert. He noted that Mars sang every note himself and praised his guitar skills.[19]

The West Australian's Ara Jansan called the performance "one of the most creative and exciting displays of musical artistry" she had witnessed in a long time and dubbed Mars a "superstar in the making". The sold-out concert attracted a wide-ranging audience of all age groups. Nevertheless, the show's volume hid Mar's voice and his falsetto nuances.[20] The NZ Herald critic likened Mar's skills on the drums, guitar, ukulele and his energy to the multi-talented Prince. The singer's infectious energy led the crowd to sing along with him, however, the reviewer felt the set had too many covers.[23] Neil McCormick of The Telegraph not only praised Mar's showmanship but also found the singer to be versatile in his musicality like Prince. McCormick found the mashup of "Billie Jean" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" "comical", despite being impressed by it. He criticized "Grenade" for its lyrical content calling it "whiny".[22] The Guardian's Gareth Grundy also complemented Mar's stage presence comparing him to Michael Jackson and Prince. However, Grundy thought that while "his take on traditional song-and-dance shtick is proficient, his clean-cut blandness and myriad talents can sometimes collide in an unpleasant, teeth-grating manner." He considered the show forgettable.[25]

Accolades

The Doo-Wops & Hooligans Tour earned Mars a nomination for Best New Touring Artist at the Pollstar Awards in 2011.
