Their show in Philly was amazing. I had the best time, my first time seeing them. I’ve never been super into Hear You Me just because of overexposure to it but that was a standout last night. Beautiful, beautiful performance. Not too many people into their set around me but they were weirdly not into Manchester Orchestra when they came on either—just a boring crowd I guess.
I think Dizzy and 23 should be in every set they play, every fan deserves the chance to see those live.
23 seems to have been a staple in their sets over the last decade. If it’s not a staple, it’s in regular rotation
I wish Polaris was a staple. I've seen them play it a few times but would love to see it every time tbh!
i really hope Blister becomes a staple now that theyve brought it back recently. its such a fun song and its awesome seeing Tom in the spotlight
That song always goes over great live. One of my favorite moments from basically every time I’ve seen them.
I've seen them at least 12 times since 2007, and I'm reasonably sure they played it every single time - was it ever not a mainstay?
Yeah, Blister is pretty much a staple. 23 is typically a staple too, yet I almost always miss it on my date(s) for whatever reason. I did get it finally in Columbus, thank god.
Oh, that makes sense! I could’ve sworn from sets I’ve seen on Youtube it wasn’t a staple. Sorry for the misinfo
I Will Steal You Back came on shuffle in the car and damn I love Damage despite its production flaws. JEW are tied for my favourite band of all time with ETID but Invented still has never grab me
Yup, Damage, Invented, and Stay on My Side EP are all peak fall listens. Futures and Clarity too, but those also hit all-year-round for me.
the math if anyone wants to see it: invented: late summer/early fall integrity blues: fall futures: late fall/early winter bleed american: winter (year round too tbh) clarity: late winter/early spring chase this light: spring damage: summer surviving is kind of fall and kind of summer but not in the same way as invented is fall or damage is summer which makes no sense I know
