Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 234

Yeah when they released The Gold and The Alien as the first two singles I thought they did sound a little alike. Different enough to not make it questionable, but yeah, kind of similar too.

 

they changed AGO and B&M, smart choice

 

So so so so so so so happy to see that.


Also, Doors at 5...VIP I guess is at 4:30 then...?

 

Wearing my shirt from the pre-order today!

 

ME TOO

 

Man....I'm just now thinking back to the absolute HYPE we were in early-mid July....the listening party....all the mystery behind everything

 

I remember live posting my first listen and @teebs41 loving every second

 

I BELIEEEEEVED YOU WERE CRAAAAAZY.

Just in to say I still fucking adore this album. Still my aoty.

 

yea that roll out was a lot of fun, it was pretty sure but still felt really long.............. its weird how time flies, that feels like it was just yesterday.

 

yes! you really hyped The Moth and Lead, SD

 

I remember that day so well, taking the train to NY and then hanging in the city then getting an email saying I wouldn't be able to get in.. so I tweeted the band and they responded saying I could get in but then they deleted the tweet... WILD stuff and I did end up getting in anyway haha

 

I remember The Grocery and The Wolf blowing my mind the first listen too

 

oh and me and @ChiliTacos listening to the record pretty quiet and thinking this was a bit of a lame listening party until we noticed we could listen to the record full blast in sound proof rooms. I think we had it cranked to the absolute highest setting

 

I still think about this day a lot haha. Me getting so drunk and having to pee sooooo bad but nowhere within several blocks had bathrooms haha. The girl in line who rec'd us that pizza place and then we ended up seeing her there later. So fun.

 

Can I just say how near perfect the setlist was? It was missing Pride and Where Have You Been? But I still adored it. I expect to see those tomorrow night hopefully with their expanded set!

My buddy who had to put up with listening to them for years but never listened himself LOVED the show and thought it was a perfect setlist to show who they were as a band and became a true fan. I have to agree. The different acts, the fan favorites, the slow and the hard.

I do still think The Alien doesn't translate fantastic live as the others do, but it is needed for the transition into The Sunshine.

(I personally don't really care about 50 cent or Barry Bonds or any of those goofy songs. I've heard them a few times now)

 

Who am I running into tomorrow night at the stuffing?

 

I’ll be there with several friends!

 

have fun!

 

It's gonna be sick

 

I’m gonna be in Florida still.

 

Quick Kevin. Meet me in Orlando and we'll carpool

 

Chilling VIP about to enter front and center.

 

Mid-balcony. Can’t wait for All Get Out.

 

All get out earned a fan tonight
