The interviews, which slowly whittle down to a few comments here and there between songs, continue to feel very deliberately edited to match the speakers' reflections to the concert set list. We know this is uncommon in concerts because we're told so. The band's biggest hits are spread over two acts, and the film's halfway point is marked by an extended jog that Reynolds takes among fans on the stadium floor. The concert itself is relatively bare-bones, allowing the focus to stay on the music and its makers, though fans might not learn a lot they didn't already know about the musicians. Director Matt Eastin carefully drops in a comment from guitarist Sermon about Reynolds' infinite energy on stage, prompting viewers to anticipate what's to come. Imagine Dragons Live in Vegas is slickly structured, with a talking-heads intro that sets up the place (lead singer Reynolds' hometown of Vegas), the background (how the band members came together to create a successful group), and the context (stadium-size homecoming concert). This is a straight-up concert video with musician interviews peppered in, but the sense of joy and integrity the band members convey make it appealingly unique for its kind.
