Bayside - There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive (April 5, 2024) • Page 4

For some reason I thought we had 3 songs left haha damn

They're definitely going to drop at least 1 more too

 

Another solid song

 

This is like how I can't listen to "Bed Sores" by Fireworks without thinking of the chicken dance. 10 years later I'll never get past it.

Miracle is neat.

 

Yeah the chicken dance in Bed Sores is nailed into my brain forever

 

stoked for this tour! every band on it im excited to see

 

miracle is solid

 

It’s definitely a really cool lineup. Finch and Armor For Sleep have not toured much the last 10-15 years and Winona Fighter is a fun up and coming band to open the tour. I’m honestly really glad Four Year Strong dropped this tour. Seeing Finch is a much more rare opportunity.

 

i didn't know FYS was supposed to be it but they've toured a bunch with bayside!

 

Yeah the admat my local promoter used originally has FYS instead of Finch. Pretty sure FYS dropped on short notice to do the ADTR tour and Finch was added as a replacement.

 

Really fun set to open the tour!
Bayside Setlist at Roxian Theatre, McKees Rocks

I filmed some songs. You can find more on my channel.

 

That’s a great setlist

 

Setlist.fm says the last time they've played The New Flesh (besides the Killing Time online set during bad COVID times) was 2011? That can't be right can it??

 

TWO LETTERS!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck I'm pissed this isn't coming to Cleveland

 

Should have made the trek to the Burgh. But I get it, it was a Wednesday.

That’s one of the songs I filmed actually, if you’re curious to hear it.

 

I was on the fence about going yesterday, and probably should have. Solid set with some nice cuts

 

That’s a pretty sweet set. Excited for this show in a week weeks.

 

Nice set. Excited to catch this one in Boston.

Also forgot the album was out tomorrow. What a strange roll out. I forgot when I stopped listening to the releases, so I'm glad I'll at least have a few I haven't heard.

 

I could see that being true. I feel like there was a period of time where all their setlists were kinda the same, just swap in 4 songs for whatever their latest album was.

That said, I think this setlist is pretty varied, it includes a song or two from a lot of different albums. Debating if I want to deal with the Friday DC/Baltimore traffic tomorrow to go to the show.

 

Not gonna get me to go to a House of Blues, but this setlist is pretty great

 

I'll be there! Can't wait.

 

gotta play "Mary," come on guys

 

This album is really good. For some reason with the rollout and the EPs and everything, I didn't have high hopes. However, now that I am listening, this is great.

Bayside rarely misses. They certainly didn't miss with this one for me.

 

I kind of zoned out on the EP’s and other recent tracks. I listened to them all yesterday for the first time I believe. Got me excited to hear some live and was rewarded with a handful of them. Go To Hell was a standout for me.

 

Ranking what I've heard thus far from TAWTTBA:

1. Go to Hell
2. How to Ruin Everything
3. Strangest Faces
4. Good Advice
5. Bad Intentions
6. Just Like Home
7. The Devils (although I wished I liked this a lot more)
8. Castaway (barely remember this song - don't remember being high on it)
9. Miracle (maybe listened once?)

Haven't heard:

Say So Long
I'm So Happy I Could Die

 

Go To Hell is probably my favorite of the EP tracks. Been trying not to burn myself out on those since they were confirmed to be on the album, so looking forward to hearing the full thing tomorrow.
