The Whitney Live series ended up being one of our favorite things about last summer—perfect for those Friday evenings when you could leave work, take a train up to the uncharted territories of the Upper East Side, watch a whole show, and still see daylight on your way back downtown. It proved no less grand this year, with a list of performers so on point we thought we’d curated it ourselves. Back in July, we captured a local favorite, Bear Hands, playing a song called "Tablasaurus" that kind of feels like it needs to soundtrack one of those beautiful save-the-world PSAs that you'd see during really peak commercial hours. That's kind of what being at the Whitney that night felt like too.
