While Huffman built walls of melodic layers with his guitar, keyboard and laptop, videos were projected on a screen behind him. New Fumes, the project by touring guitarist Daniel Huffman, kicked off the night with a performance that felt more like an art installation. The opening acts for the show were both members of the Polyphonic Spree given a chance to shine on their own. However, the joy the group gives off and receives as part of the performance is blatantly sincere and should be experienced in-person when they make good on DeLaughter's promise. With so many members in the actual band, it's hard to imagine how financially rewarding a tour might be for them. DeLaughter wrapped up the night with an apology that it had been so long since the band had performed in the area and vowed that the wait won't be as extended for their next local show. The actual Polyphonic Spree had stopped performing, but those inside the Turner Hall Ballroom were carrying the baton to the finish line. He continued to lead the crowd in singing the lyrics until he abruptly stopped and it was everyone else in attendance celebrating the final repeated lines of the song:

The final song of the night was 'The Championship' and in a brilliant move, the performance was extended so that every member of the band incrementally left the stage except for DeLaughter. The encore featured the band's most mainstream song 'Light and Day/Reach For the Sun' and once again a round of confetti was fired. They then weaved through the crowd towards the stage while each member distributed plenty of high-fives to their eager fans. As the build-up of this song reached its peak, the Polyphonic Spree emerged from the back of the venue. While the passionate crowd clamored for an encore, a recorded instrumental song played over the speakers. In a way, this portion of the show was reminiscent of Mary Martin as Peter Pan asking for everyone to clap if they believed in fairies to aid Tinkerbell.ДЄfter the Polyphonic Spree played what DeLaughter claimed was the last song of the evening, the entire group left the Turner Hall stage. After the audience's participation, normalcy was restored and the entirety of the dethawed Polyphonic Spree were able to continue playing. DeLaughter went from member to member, examining their position and ultimately using this as a ploy to get the crowd involved. Toward the end of their set, the group performed the song 'Section 19 (When the Fool Becomes a King).' At the end of the song, a lingering note played while all the members of the Polyphonic Spree except DeLaughter froze in place. The set consisted mostly of their second and third albums, although they did perform 'Soldier Girl' from their debut album, as well as a cover of The Who's 'Pinball Wizard.'

As the second song of the night started, confetti rained down on the crowd in front of the stage. He continued to expand the size of the hole until he split the sheet in two, revealing the wide array of musicians and singers onstage with him. As music began to build, DeLaughter cut a heart-shaped hole in the fabric. Their set began with a large red sheet covering the front of the stage. This includes a cellist, two drummers, some assorted brass players, a choir, guitar and the lead singer of the group, Tim DeLaughter. The size of the band has always been notable, and there were 15 members that took the stage on Tuesday. It is a fitting title for the tour, as their performance felt totally inclusive of the warm Turner Hall crowd.Дressed in white robes with a red heart on the chest, the Polyphonic Spree may have cult-like attire, but their show focused on unity and celebration. The large collective known as the Polyphonic Spree stopped at Turner Hall Ballroom Tuesday night as part of the third leg in their You+Me Tour.
