There is something to be said for an album anniversary tour. It guarantees to transport listeners: either straight to the memory bank, or somewhere new via live performance. Morning View, the fourth album from alt rock band Incubus, was performed at TD Garden last week and easily took its audience down the best of both paths. The crowd groaned along with the band during the chorus of “Wish You Were Here”. Lead Singer Brandon Boyd was an energetic presence on stage: ringing gongs, playing alongside the rest of the band on a djembe hand drum, lasers and spiraling projections illuminating the stage behind him. It felt like an appropriate salute to the 23rd anniversary of an album (yes 23rd, you heard correctly, they were meant to tour it during Covid) They followed up the album with a selection of classics including “Anna Molly” and “The Warmth”. Opening for them were Coheed and Cambria, another group worthy of its passionate fanbase.
