Bright Eyes - Down In The Weeds Where the World Once Was (August 21, 2020) Album • Page 57

Ugh road to joy in the setlist?? jealous

 

That is a much better setlist than when I saw them last year.

 

2 years ago they were horrible, in November they were fantastic. Other than the road to joy ender though I prefer the fall setlist

 

They killed it the only time I saw them about a year ago. Really liked the setlist too

Bright Eyes Setlist at SOMA, San Diego

 

Aside from Conor rambling during the encore and taking forever to play the songs (and a few times during the main set), the show had no issues and everyone sounded great.

*I only bring up the rambling because it was midnight and people were clearly getting a bit frustrated.

 

I’m seeing them tomorrow with Cursive & Neva Dinova. Wild ass lineup.

 

How 2004 of you

 

Hi Steve hope you are doing well

 

Hi Wade! I'm a dad, weird huh! Nice to see you popping in

 

WOW! Congrats dude that’s huge!

 

Are they playing the companion versions of songs or no?

 

The band on this run is really small, Conor, Nate, Mogis and Maria Taylor, Orenda Fink. They did add "Rabbit Hole" and "Gold Mine Gutted" to the setlist but I'm not sure I would call them the "Companion" versions..

 

somehow vinyl rips of the new Companions leaked

 

anddddd?

 

oh, no way I am gonna listen to vinyl rips haha, I hate how they sound

 

fair enough. takes quite a dedicated fan to create those. definitely in a different league than me.

 

Is the Motion Sickness track on the companion EP for Noise Floor a cover of the Phoebe Bridgers song?

 

No it’s this:

 

The last 3 companions are out this Friday

 

and all tracks better be as good as the redux of Middleman

 

I read somewhere that was actually an alternate version of middleman from the Cassadaga sessions and not a re-record. Would seem weird seeing as this whole project was about re-recording songs but maybe they did have that one lying around unreleased and said why not?

 

what?! That’s crazy. Even crazier they released the original version over the alternate as the alternate is miles better. I guess I get it as the original fits in with the sound of the rest of the LP but meh

 

ugh hate this version of Clairaudients and i was looking forward to that one especially.

 

i felt that

 

Haha, I’m loving this punk rock version of Clairaudients…reminds me of Desa a bit
