That was absolutely incredible! So many deep cuts and songs I never thought I would get to hear live. “It’s Only Over When…” was the obvious highlight and I like how they updated it to reflect their current sound a little bit more. As someone else mentioned that keyboard solo was amazing. “Yesterday” and “Damned to be Free” sounded so good with Greg’s current voice and the cleaner production. I’m even more hyped for the 90’s show now.
30 minutes in and need to take a break for fam dinner, but the setlist is SOLID so far! This is what I was hoping for with the first season. Will resume with Man On A Mission. PUMPED for the slide guitar.
Now that was a setlist. I feel like I got mostly everything I wanted from that. Don’t Pray On Me woulda been sick. LOVE that they opened with Too Much To Ask.
I wish they’d release these episodes digitally and on vinyl one day. Kinda like what Alkaline Trio did with their past lives shows.
I was thinking about how awesome it would be to have the audio of these performances since we probably won’t hear a lot of these songs live again.
It's not too late! Two weeks left in season two, and with a ticket to that, you get access to all of season one
Seriously how is it possible that that was the song's live debut? Lyrically and musically it's always been one of their best. Hopefully they liked playing it so maybe the bust it out on their next tour.
Cool episode. Not my favorite, but I like that they switched it up a bit for this decade. Kyoto Now Streetkid Submission Complete Materialist and the closing with Fields of Mars piano version was dope. Still cant get over how rad the second episode of the 90's is.
Hearing that version of Fields of Mars makes me wish that was the way they recorded it for New Maps. It sounded absolutely incredible. I almost got a Ziggy Stardust feel from it. Never thought I would say that about a Bad Religion performance. This episode was good but not as good as the previous two. Can't complain too much when we get Streetkid Named Desire, Chronophobia, and Broken in the same setlist, though. I would've liked a couple more songs from New America but also found it kinda cool that we got so much from New Maps of Hell. I was surprised that that was the album they decided to showcase for this decade.
Would love these dudes change it up a bit the next album. Like a punk folk album in the vein of man with a mission. Throw more if that slide guitar over some fast punk riffs!
