Usher and Chris Brown opened the R&B tour setlist in Denver with a 58-song first show on Friday, June 26, at Empower Field at Mile High. The Raymond & Brown Tour began with a three-hour spectacle that gave Fans in Denver the first look at how far this production is willing to go.
Denver Sets the Scale
58 songs in one night is the number that tells the story. The Raymond & Brown Tour turned its opening stop into a nine-act run, with Usher moving through U Remind Me, Yeah!, Confessions and OMG while Brown hit No Guidance, Go Crazy and Run It.
Three hours onstage also put the show in a different lane from a standard arena-style set. Usher and Chris Brown used that time to split the night into nine cinematic acts, which suggests the tour is built less like a quick greatest-hits pass and more like a long-form production with a fixed arc.
Mario and Eric Bellinger
Mario and Eric Bellinger were brought into the festivities, and Mario used intermission for a medley of his songs. Usher and Brown also shared It Depends, Party and New Flame, which gives the opening show a clear structure: solo stretches, shared songs, then guest turns that break up the pace without shrinking the scale.
Last week, Brown released the 10-song deluxe edition of his 12th studio album, Brown, and that project already earned a top 10 debut on the Billboard 200. The Denver set folded We Embrace, It Depends and Holy Blindfold into the night, tying the opening show to the newer material instead of treating the tour as a nostalgia-only booking.
Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago
The tour continues through December with stops in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago. That leaves the Denver opener as the clearest read on the production’s size for now: a 58-song setlist, a three-hour run and a format that already uses guest spots, shared songs and intermission placement as part of the show’s design.
What remains most useful for anyone tracking the Raymond & Brown Tour is the operating question Denver raised but did not answer in the text shown: what was the full 58-song setlist from the first night? Until that list is laid out song by song, the opener functions as a scale marker more than a complete roadmap.
