I happened to be over in San Francisco from the UK for work this week so made it to the show at the Warfield last night. It was even better than I expected and to hear METN in full was a privilege. Enjoyed Citizen too. Setlist (spoilers) METN Turn Out The Lights I Know How To Speak The Gold The Silence Jimmy, He Whispers
Show tonight was phenomenal but venue was horrible in terms of efficiency, not too mention they sold out of the vinyl literally the person in front of me. If anyone is going to a show and can get me the vinyl and/or the poster I’d be very grateful!
The line to get into the venue took absolutely forever so didn’t get inside the venue until second opener (Citizen) was already on. Then the merch line was another 30 minutes long so Citizen finished their set and the vinyl sold out right before Manchester started. Posters went really quick from what I was told so I never stood a chance on those.
We totally missed citizen as the line outside was still a good twenty mins. Horrible horrible venue. And then once inside we were told the floor was at capacity. A section we had tickets for! Got shunted down the aisle for the last citizen song. It cleared a bit for MO so was able to get up onto the floor at least. Left after The River as anticipated it being a mess to get out, and thought I’d watch the end from the merch table but they’d again closed the doors to the floor so couldn’t even watch from afar. also second if anyone is feel kind to pick up a second vinyl at their show I’d be very appreciative. Normal I pick things up on the way out and as @zacooper said everything just went fast.
The guest list line seemed longer than the ticket line. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone gave out too many
Only 200 were available for all CA/HI dates. 1000 total were pressed. No set allotment per date. So get there early.
A few people are saying the merch guy was a tool. Is it someone new? The old guy was always a bit snarky but never really an asshole.
Dude’s cool. Just real real direct. Especially after saying the same thing to every person for the last 4 hours of the show, after posting the sign. (It’s sold out. etc.)
Congrats! I went 0/3 last night. Missed the vinyl, the poster and a setlist. But damn they played amazing.
If you're going and would be willing to pick one up for me (possibly along with the poster too?) I will send extra to help you reduce your cost.
Pretty stoked for tonight. Holding out hope for an original lineup METN set but not really holding my breath for Chris..
