Imagine Dragons perform live during Grammys from Fremont St.

With more than 4 million records sold from their 2012 debut album “Night Visions” and a Grammy award win, Las Vegas-based band Imagine Dragons took their music out to the streets.

The band, made up of singer Dan Reynolds, drummer Daniel Platzman, bassist Ben McKee and guitarist Daniel Wayne Sermon, put on a special show for super fans in conjunction with Target and the 57th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday evening. The group had a stage set up near the El Cortez and Backstage Bar & Billiards on Fremont Street, between Sixth and Seventh streets, in downtown Las Vegas.

“I’m sorry for everything, oh, everything I’ve done,” the band sang the first few words from their latest single, “Shots,” on a red, circular island of a stage surrounded by a sea of fans and an array of lights.

The crowd heard their apology and replied with a roaring acceptance of everything, oh, everything they’ve done.

According to the band’s manager, Mac Reynolds, Target took eight, 30-second commercial spots and combined it into a four-minute slot for the band to play one song from their sophomore album, “Smoke + Mirrors,” expected to drop on Feb. 17.

The band’s partnership with Target led to a deluxe edition of their new album, complete with four bonus tracks and an exclusive cover as part of their #MoreMusic campaign, Target spokeswoman Erica Julkowski said.

“We know Las Vegas is famous for live entertainment. Being the hometown of Imagine Dragons, it felt like the perfect location to capture a performance of this scale,” Julkowski said. “It also allows us to give more to the band’s hometown fans by giving them access to share this exciting moment with the band.”

In January, website 1iota.com held a contest in search of Imagine Dragons’ “super fans” to gain exclusive access and be part of a video shoot. It wasn’t until a few days before the event did they realize the video shoot was for the Grammy’s.

“I hope you feel it,” Dan Reynolds told the crowd before they went live.

Contest winners Jae Rosales, 22, and Megan Delacuadra, 23, were excited by the performance, which was better than they expected. The super fans had seen the band two months before and always enjoy how well they perform.

Those who weren’t able to gain the exclusive access, tourists and locals alike, tried to catch glimpses of the show that was fenced-off and surrounded with a black curtain stage. The Downtown Las Vegas bar Commonwealth, at 525 Fremont St., opened its doors at 3 p.m. to give people a chance to view the show for free on the rooftop.

Local Maegan Sawina, 33, had seen the stage setup for the past few days and grew curious. Going to see the televised performance became a spur-of-the-moment decision when she saw a social media posts from Commonwealth.

Sawina, who enjoys both concerts and Imagine Dragons, said she couldn’t pass up the chance to see a show, free of charge.

Just before the bridge of the song, the stage rose up high enough for outside viewers to see a shot of the band’s backs and onstage chemistry.

Though the view from Commonwealth might not have been ideal, the Imagine Dragons guys turned around after the performance to acknowledge those watching outside of the gate. Before the stage descended, the band mates took a moment to hug one another and thank the crowd.

Rosales and Delacuadra, both Las Vegans, agreed that it helps that the band consistently shows their appreciation to Las Vegas.

“They’re proud of where they come from and that makes me proud of where I come from too,” Rosales said.

Last November, they gave a surprise acoustic performance in front of the Bellagio as part of Sony Picture Television’s “Playing It Forward” series that benefited the music programs of four local Clark County schools.

The four-man band sent their fans on a treasure hunt in January that brought in clues from their new album and ended at a desert area with signed band memorabilia. Just a few weeks later, they announced a contest in partnership with Southwest Airlines that includes an in-flight concert from Las Vegas to Atlanta called “Southwest’s Ultimate Destination Dragons Flight.”
