The band members are certainly familiar with playing in Los Angeles, but Tuesday marked the first time that Ruess referred to the city as his "hometown."

One particularly memorable exchange came with the trio onstage, in which Ruess and Antonoff attempted to goad Dost into stomping on his keyboard. "Oh, you didn't get enough sleep last night? Why don't you show your piano how you feel … with your foot."

The band weaved seamlessly between lesser-known songs "Walking the Dog," "Barlights" and "The Gambler" and fan favorites including "Pretty Girls," "Carry On," "We Are Young" and a cover of The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
