The two kept up their antics throughout the entirety of the show, from their to so-casual-we’re-just-going-to-play-Led-Zepplin-riffs jam session to the moment that DeMarco decided he, too, wanted a chance to crowd surf. “So if you’re with someone you love, break up with them.” “Wait, this is a break up song, isn’t it?” White asked. Guitarist Andrew Charles White stopped DeMarco as they started “Without Me.” “…So if you’re with someone you love, let them know.” “This is a slower love song,” DeMarco announced over the mic once deeper into the set. The whole interaction prompted the question: Does Robby’s mom know he is alive? Without any hesitation, Robby offered himself to the mercy of the crowd not once, but three times, returning to the stage hatless but all the while maintaining the “shaka, brah” hand sign.
“On four, Robby,” DeMarco said, “deliver your body to the good people of the Greek Theatre tonight.” Right before aptly beginning “Freaking Out the Neighborhood,” DeMarco made further demands of his new friend. Robby - in a tight leather jacket, sunglasses with reflective orange lenses and, of course, a baseball cap - exchanged a vape and a quick kiss with DeMarco before he was invited to join da Vinci’s table in the back. Soon, DeMarco called a fan by the name of Robby on stage.
Meanwhile, people in the crowd seemed to be taking Mac DeMarco’s “Ode To Viceroy” lyrics, “I’ll smoke you ’til I’m dying,” as a literal challenge. The band’s family and friends sat at tables near the back of the stage as a red solo cup edition of “The Last Supper” to their left, bassist Peter Sagar drank straight from his own bottle of red wine. From the moment he started strumming his psychedelic-rock Fender, DeMarco was casually cracking jokes and speaking in goofy voices like we were all just old friends hanging out in someone’s parents’ basement that hadn’t been renovated since the ’70s. That’s why - probably knowing that his admirers would almost absolutely be late - he didn’t go on stage until 9:30 p.m.
