I'd actually love to see Invented or Damage swapped in for Integrity Blues. I feel those less-appreciated albums might get a new lease of life with this style of recording.

The Surviving show was phenomenal. They always sound incredible live, but it's amazing to finally see a recording do them justice. Truly one of the GOATs to still be at the top of their game after all these years.

 

Yeah I’d like to see Invented as well. I guess for the third round Invented/Damage/Static Prevails.

 

This was beautiful, enjoyed the hell out of it

 

They’ve been calling surviving album ten since they announced it. Not sure why the shift, but it’s been there for a while now

 

have they said there’s gonna be another round of these or is it just speculation?

 

speculation, afaik

 

Speculation but imo it's borne out by the precarious touring situation. I expect them to push all touring plans to next year.

 

I caved and got the Surviving livestream this morning. It was amazing, obviously.

 

Damage would benefit from a re-recording or a performance like this a TON. The few songs they play from it live always sound great. I would love to see it.

 

Damage’s production bothers me a lot less than it used to, but it’s still a letdown based solely on how great their records normally sound.

 

I feel like at least one more round of this sort of shows may be in order given how it's not looking good in terms of concerts resuming any time in the next 9 months at least.

I think I'd most like to see them do Bleed American, Chase This Light, and Invented in a hypothetical second round.

 

Also, in the pre-show when they said they had only done 27 shows on Surviving before the pandemic happened I instantly felt so fortunate that I was able to be at one of those shows.

 

Livestream was a ton of fun, excited for the next ones. Jim sounded great on the Diamond bridge.

 

Bet they do a Bleed American stream for the 20th anniversary in a couple months

 

great point, would make a ton of sense

 

Would pay good money for Jimmy to do a Past Live-esque discography run

 

Jim said somewhere that they're open to doing more of the full album shows. I don't remember which interview it was or I'd source it. lol

 

Honestly, the fact that they went with a rougher production style is one of the reasons Damage is my favorite record by them. It makes it really distinct, and I think it works perfectly with those songs. I don’t know. I love everything about that album.

 

I was always surprised at how little of Invented they played. I saw them twice on that tour, and I think I only heard the following live:

Evidence
My Best Theory
Movielike
Coffee and Cigarettes
Action Needs an Audience
Invented

So, some good songs left untouched there.

 

Cut, Stop, Littlething, and Mixtape tho

 

Imagine thinking Invented is anything other than an underrated masterwork

 

God coffee and cigarettes kills me

 

Evidence absolutely SLAYS live. That riff is so titanic and simple. It’s like a sledgehammer of pleasure straight to my groin and heart.

 

Lol
