    Haha yeah, I got some texts about it too. I love how this band can be so serious when it comes to concept and lore and all that, but are super self aware and can have fun like this too.

    Went to the Chicago show tonight. This band is at the top of their game 20 years in. Their performance was absolutely out of this world.

    By far the best I’ve seen them, new songs all sounded fucking flawless. It’s always striking to me how incredible Claudio and Travis are at playing the guitar and feeding off each other during the dual riffs and when they trade solos, just insanely impressive as a guitarist to watch. Couldn’t be happier with that show man just amazing stage production and sound

    They’ve also picked up some veteran savvy where when Claudio is singing, Travis is frequently playing the harder guitar part, where in the past it would cause Claudio to skip lyrics/vocals. Love seeing a veteran band still growing.

    Still absolutely jazzed about the reception ADA got during my show - felt like a moment where EVERYONE was into it

    Thats awesome. Saw a few vids of that song on youtube from this tour and it seemed sorta lukewarm.

    Yeah it didn't go off in Atlanta like I hoped, but it was one of the more tame Coheed crowds I've seen.

    Shoulders, Liars Club and Disappearing Act all got big reception in NYC, but the other new songs not so much.

    As much as I loved the Ghost/Blood part of the show, it did absolutely destroy any sort of crowd participation momentum.

    I didn’t even go to my date and I could tell you that was the worst part of the set just glancing at the setlist

    Ghost was more of a full band effort and they jammed for a while at the end of it which was a highlight for me, but yeah. That into Blood was definitely what some might call a "bathroom break" but I love both songs, so

    Id have preferred Afterman, Mother Superior, or not sure if considered a slow song but Far.

    Lol for real. So weird to imply that I don’t like when a band plays softer songs.

    I’ve been in here defending Iron Fist!

    Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Prestigious

    I really enjoyed Ghost live, back to back with Blood is a weird choice though, and I would’ve preferred a lot of other songs over Blood

    Dropping both Ghost and Blood for Evagria would have been a vibe
