Pigeons Playing Ping Pong rolled through The Fillmore in Philadelphia on Saturday night. The funk four-piece welcomed The Magic Beans keyboardist Casey Russell in the first set and guitarist Mike Gantzer from opening act Aqueous in the second set.

Pigeons got the second set underway with a jam followed by “Upfunk” and “Ghostbusters.” PPPP then welcomed Gantzer on “Lightning” ahead of the second set closer “Horizon.” The band retook the stage for an encore that included a jam followed by “Yo Soy Fiesta” and “Fun In Funk.”
