Driving up to Boston next week for a work trip. 6 hour trip so I’m listening to their entire catalog (excluding b-sides live albums and comps) for the drive up. Pretty stoked to have some time to sit and actively listen to how they’ve progressed as a band over time and ended up at 152.
I’m interested in seeing what they play next weekend. Ourside of those 3 album play shows, it feels like they haven’t played a proper headlining set in a long time—and definitely not since the album was released. I think they played roughly 19-20 songs last year, too. And tried to vary the setlists a tiny like there was a Night 1 and a Night 2
no joke, quit trying is my favourite song they've written and probably one of my favourite songs to exist now. new again was my favourite TBS record until 152 and i probably won't ever listen to NA again based on Quit Trying alone.
It’s killing me that there are no California dates for this , seems to maybe be a gap to squeeze in a show or two between Phoenix and Portland that would make some sense though. Or I’m just lost in the copium.
Bottle And Cork is only 1100 capacity, def gets a little jammed in in there. Luckily it’s half outdoors
I don't really have a pulse on what shows do these days, but I was shocked to hear NFG and AAR did 15k in CT
I can only speak for Cleveland, but they have consistently played at the House of Blues Cleveland for the last 10-15 years and that's a 1,200 cap. Many of those shows weren't even sold out.
surprised to see 152 on this list, granted its ap but everyone on here dug it from what i saw, maybe it didnt hit with the general public? Fan poll: 5 most underrated albums of 2023 (altpress.com)
Did anyone here go to the show at mulcs last night? Setlist.fm says they went on after 10 and I’m going to die tonight if that’s true hahah
lmao I saw that too and uhhh. 2 openers last night and only band opener w/ Koyo + Neil Rubenstein tonight so maybe they'll go on 930?
Hell yeah, looks like The Stranger made it on the set. If they're not playing the whole album, the 6 from last night + Juice 2 Me or New Music Friday would be sweet
152 songs I NEED to see: Amphetamine Smiles S'Old Keep Going Lightbringer The Stranger 152 songs I'd LIKE to see: Quit Trying New Music Friday Juice to Me 152 songs I wouldn't care if they left off: The One I Am the Only One Who Knows Your
