WILMINGTON — After having to postpone their show from last fall, Lake Street Dive made its way to Riverfront Park, with opening act The Dips last Friday.

It was a night full of jazz and funk, with dancing crowds singing and swaying along. The five-piece band has graced Wilmington with its presence for years, in its early days at Throne Theater (a.k.a. Blue Muse, Ziggy’s by the Sea) and then onto the stage of the 1,200-seat Greenfield Lake Amphitheater.

We’ve been spoiled in ways we never realized,” photographer Tom Dorgan of MoonFrog Media said, who has been at most LSD shows.

This go ’round LSD graduated to the 7,000-seat Live Oak Bank Pavilion. Though not completely sold out, it was packed with many fans.

“Lead singer Rachael Price shined as bright as her glittery disco-ball dress,” Dorgan said.

Pop, rhythm and blues band The Dip opened the show and set the mood. LSD powered through 20 songs, including covers of Shania Twain’s “Still the One,” Bonnie Raitt’s “Nick of Time,” and Burt Bacharach’s “Anyone Who Had a Heart.”

Here are Dorgan’s photos from the show.
