Last Saturday evening, the multi-talented singer, songwriter, and producer Lights thrilled the early crowd at Big Night Live with a bone-smashingly energetic set. Fans who braved the throngs of drunken Bruins fans streaming out of nearby TD Garden were treated to a fun opening set by tiLLie. The self-proclaimed nightmare pop artist got the crowd moving with her catchy new material, as well as a cover of Britney Spears’ “Lucky,” and tiLLie easily proved herself to be a worthy addition to the night’s billing.

After a quick changeover, Lights immediately blasted into her set with “Prodigal Daughter,” from her new album PƎP, and was joined by the crowd in singing the apt lyrics of the chorus, “baby I’m back!” Lights maintained that electric vibe as she performed songs both new and old from her extensive discography to equal excitement from the zealous crowd. The connection between performer and crowd was quite literal at times, as she frequently strode off stage and onto the barricade to clasp hands with fans as she sang with them. Unfortunately, as she jumped down into the crowd for a final performance of “In My Head” to finish up the encore, Lights fractured a bone in her foot. In a testament to her unrelenting will, Lights never once missed a beat and finished her set by fighting through the pain so skillfully that many didn’t even notice the injury.
