- Dan, you guys are all together in this cart.
[people chattering indistinctly]
- Yeah, I'm good.
DAN REYNOLDS: I definitely think it's important as a band,
uh, when you first come together to kind of sit down as a group and say,
"What is Imagine Dragons?
"What do we want our image to be?
"What, what is our message?
Um, what music should we all be listening to collectively?"
So, you know, "What album did you just pick up?"
"Oh, let me pick it up too." You know?
So we all come to a kind of an understanding
of this is what Imagine Dragons is and then, you know,
and then things shape it on their own as you go.
But I think, I do think it's really important,
just like, you know, when you're writing a paper,
a thesis, you know, it's--
You have to have some starting point and move from there.
BEN MCKEE: Las Vegas is Imagine Dragons' home.
The energy, the larger than life mentality that we have
that we bring to every performance is Las Vegas personified,
and it would not be that way if we had grown up
as a band in any other city.
DANIEL PLATZMAN: The band was absolutely born in Las Vegas
and the Las Vegas Strip is what, you know,
the Petri dish that let the band life, uh, grow
and evolve into what it is today.
WAYNE SERMON: Yeah, it was a great place to start.
I don't think our band would've been anything
like what it is if we had been in any other city but Las Vegas.
DAN: You know, it's this eccentric, big city
with lots of lights and it's theatrical and it's,
and that's really what the band is.
Like, I love the drama.
I love the eccentricity, I love over the top.
I love that.
WAYNE: Dan was born and raised there,
and he always believed in the city, you know?
He's the one that sold us on the city.
He's the one that said, "Guys, trust me.
Like, I think we can really do something here in Las Vegas."
- Our goal was to be a self-sustained indie band
that could, like, make enough money to pay rent
and have food, right?
Like, no idea that it would be what it is.
You can't ever predict that. It's one in a billion.

DANIEL: Hell yeah, we're ready to go play the biggest damn place in Las Vegas.
Ahhh!
[people chattering indistinctly]
[audience cheering]
[audience continues cheering]
WAYNE: Vegas was-- ended up being just a really good place for us.
It really fit, you know, 'cause, you know,
Dan is sort of this larger than life character.
He commands a lot on stage.
Even back, even in the early days, he did.
You know, he's always been him.
[chuckles] Even when we were playing for five people,
he was still big and larger than life on stage
and, like, he still commanded a presence.
And so, I don't know, Vegas just seemed to fit that.
It seemed to fit that energy and, like, it worked,
even playing in the casinos.
DANIEL: When Imagine Dragons was in the early days,
I wanna say in 2010,
I visited Vegas,
and, um, I sat in and played a Third Eye Blind song with them
at, uh, one of their shows, uh, at Mandalay Bay.
It was like a corner of the casino.
Uh, I think there was a, you know,
open air sushi restaurant [chuckles]
where you could eat sushi while gambling.
BEN: We ended up getting a gig at O'Shea's Casino.
That was our first big break, our first regular gig.
It was really a game of trying to compete
against all of the glitz and glam
of Las Vegas for attention.
I think that's where we developed our whole style.
You know, our bigger than the stage we're on persona
came from being bigger than the stage we were on
and trying to grasp people's attention and bring them in.
Um, and once we started going, we just never stopped.

DANIEL: I think the goal of any band is to grow
and get as big as possible,
and this is definitely a new peak of, uh,
grandioseness for us.
But I think, you know, that's one of the defining things
about the brand of Imagine Dragons is,
you know, this big sound.
And when you go to a show,
we want to give the audience an experience
that they're never gonna forget
and something that lives up to the idea that they have in their heads
of what Imagine Dragons is gonna look like on stage.

WAYNE: Looking back on a lot of those early shows in Las Vegas,
we should have been embarrassed by some of them.
We should have been, like,
there's times when admittedly I was like,
like what am I doing?
But at the same time, like, I was still doing music
and I was still playing for people and it really,
like, for me it was like, well, this beats doing anything else.
Like, I've always been just so obsessed with music,
so obsessed with playing for people and just wanting it so badly for so long.
BEN: We knew that we had the potential,
and we were gonna push it as hard as we could.
DAN: From the second we could talk,
we had musical instruments, so I started when I was six.
And, uh, and then we dedicated our whole lives to it.
They went to school for it.
Um, my school was just songwriting always, still every day.
I, you know, I've written seven songs
in the last, uh, week and a half,
so I write every day still.
So it's thousands and thousands of songs.
Literally thousands.
And the guys have put in thousands and thousands and thousands of hours.
And, and so there is that, you know?
The hard work has definitely always been there.
But, uh, I mean, you also have to have some Vegas luck
'cause there also are tons of musicians
who would say the exact same story I'm saying.
BEN: Our ambition knows no limits,
and I'm sure it will be our downfall eventually.
But, uh, from day one, our whole philosophy
was to say yes to every opportunity we were offered.
- I know one of the first gigs for Imagine Dragons
was opening up for a mime at a mall.
- He got up on stage and whoever was introducing the acts
handed him a microphone, and he took the microphone
and just held it
and didn't say anything, and that was,
that was like the peak of the mime performance.
DANIEL: To go from that to selling out Allegiant Stadium
in Las Vegas is incredible.

- As we've been able to perform in bigger and bigger venues,
you know, we always try to ramp up our production
to kind of match that venue,
to make sure that the energy of our show
is being delivered through that.
So we have, you know, the most pyrotechnics
and the most confetti and blowers and cryo
and fireworks that I've ever seen on a stage before.
I mean, some of those songs,
we have fire in front of us and behind us,
and it feels like I am in a broiler.
Like, the production makes it feel like a factory of energy
that's pumping out this physical product.
Like, you can reach out and touch the energy,
the sparks that are coming off of that stage
and feel it in your hair.
It's, it's insane.

- Oftentimes, the bigger the show, for the drummer,
it feels like the further it is for you and the crowd.
I, uh, I like that there's the, the B stage moment.
Being able to come out from behind the drum set
and actually walk down the thrust into the crowd
and then pick up an acoustic guitar
and have the show scale down.
It's like the show within the show.
Uh, I remember Victor Wooten came through Berkeley
while, uh, while we were studying there and he did a clinic,
and he was explaining your goal
is to make the audience lean forward.
And sometimes if you're just relentlessly being, like,
loud and big, people's reaction is gonna be to lean back.
And so if you're going big,
you're making a lot of, a lot of noise, a lot of sound,
one of the most dynamic things you can do is then stop.

And I think this last tour is the first time
that I just really felt like I just knew who we are.
I love you, Las Vegas!

I saved up all my money.
I was a janitor at a law firm here in Las Vegas,
and I saved up all my money and we went to, uh, see Mystère.

[audience cheering]
NARRATOR: There's more to this place than love and grief.
Not every being here calls me friend.
For some, my pain is their joy.
My despair feeds them.
Their suffering has turned their hearts black and hateful.
Most menacing are those that cloak themselves
in feigned affection,
for when my back is turned, they seek to destroy me.
But I do not fear them.
With time, my enemies reveal themselves,
for they can only consume the power given them.

DAN: For many years,
for many years, I have been in therapy.
Yes, it is true.
It's the reason that I'm here on a stage today.
It's the reason that I still walk on a stage.
It's the reason that I live
is I have an incredible therapist
that I have been with for a long, long, long time.

- This does not make you broken.
This does not make you weak.
Struggling with depression and anxiety,
you are not alone.
There are so many people
who struggle with it just like you.
It gets better.
Don't sit in it alone.
If it's available to you, go to a therapist.
Your life is always worth living.
Stay with us. [audience cheering]
- Stay with us.
I have lost too many.
I have lost too many people
who think that their life doesn't matter.
Your life always matters.
Stay with us.

- The music from Mercury Act 1 & Act 2, um,
it really has a universal, uh, relatability to it.
That music is really about, you know,
what it means to be human,
and they're really universally relatable experiences
involving life and death and celebration.
DANIEL: You know, u-uh, emotionally,
there's a lot of heavier topics on this album.
I know Dan's going through a lot of personal loss
and, um, on top of that, um, I think just emotionally,
it was a really intense album to make.
DAN: Th-There's certainly certain lyrics that always,
no matter where I am,
always take me back to the place I was
when I wrote it or an emotion.
Um,
and yeah, I've lost some people in my life
who I really care about, like everybody else and,
and so that's something that's always on my mind, um,
especially when we played in Vegas just 'cause, um--
♪ soft emotional music ♪
I don't think I can talk about that one.
This song is dedicated--
This song is dedicated to my sister-in-law
who passed away a few years ago.
She was perfectly healthy, perfectly healthy,
but within one year, got cancer and passed.
I don't share this to be a sad moment of the night,
but rather for her to live on, for you all to remember,
for me to remember
every day that we are here is a gift.
Every day that we have our health is a gift.
May we spend less time--
May we spend less time being divided.
May we spend more time loving, more time forgiving.
Life is too short. It's all finite.
May we always tell each other the good things.
May we love each other, may we see each other as a child.
See the beauty in all of us.
That is the message of Alisha.
I love you. I miss you.
The song is for Alisha. [audience cheering]

DANIEL: At the end of the day, I think everyone in this band
just really wants to take this thing as far as we can.
And we're all, we're all past the, the-- our wildest dreams of where that would be.
And yeah, I have no idea where it's gonna go,
but man, what a ride.
BEN: It's literally unbelievable for me to, like,
look at the numbers surrounding Imagine Dragons
and try to absorb it.
It still feels like we're the hungry band
playing five nights a week at O'Shea's
trying to get everybody to come to our original shows that weekend.
And dammit, we're gonna, we're gonna pull 'em in.
WAYNE: There's no such thing as a self-made band.
It doesn't exist.
You know, you're there 'cause people believe in you.
We owe a lot to a lot of people, and we owe a lot,
a lot to the people of Las Vegas
that basically gave us a home and gave us a job.
So yeah, it was really easy that night to, to give it all.
DAN: When we finish a show,
like, and I feel like we brought the world some joy
and catharticness
and, like, a shoulder to cry on,
you get to see people.
I get to look at people's faces,
I get to see them feel happy or feel sad.
I'll see them just, like, cry and sing this song
at the top of their lungs and, like,
that, to me, if we're doing that,
it's like that's the trophy.
