With all the energy Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros brought to the McDonald Theatre Sept. 12, it’s a wonder the place didn’t burst into flames. The 12-member act kept the audience electrified until the last note, letting the audience pick songs when the Zeros finished their set list and the McDonald stage was still theirs for a moment. Alex Ebert and Jade Castrinos shared some great chemistry together as artists and with the audience, and the tightness of the ensemble’s individual players live — not just in the studio — was a feat with so many instruments. — Shannon Finnell
