So glad they posted that. It was on the physical version of the Alive for the First Time EP but was left off the digital version.
This band is just the epitome of a great rock band for me. May they continue to play shows and record more music some time.
I just got my plane tickets to fly out just for this show! So I will have full setlist and hopefully a video clip or two. Won't record the whole show because I want to be in the moment. Been a fan since Late Night Conversations and this will be my first time ever seeing them perform.
Awesome, definitely post the videos here. I wish I could make it to this one. My friends in Glittermouth are opening and they’re really great too.
I’m going, drove 8 hours from Wisconsin. Forecast is my main draw (but overall its pretty stacked). Wanted to go to the Peoria show but couldn’t justify adding 2 more hours to the drive and getting into council bluffs in the middle of the night. If they announced that show right away I don’t know if I would’ve made the whole trek here. But I’m a massive forecast fan, been to their last 2-3 shows in Chicago. I even have a tattoo done by Shannon (she’s a tattoo artist now in Peoria)
Unsurprisingly I love the song. Also, album thread: https://forum.chorus.fm/threads/the-forecast-good-journey-february-9-2024.66366/
I know a lot of it has to do with the mix not doing them any favors but damn that first song is rough.
It's the mix. I was right in front of stage. They gave a 10 out of 10 five star performance. Drummer told me they did not the venue to record and release the video. Comments regarding the mix I'm guessing were among his biggest fears :(
I don't mean to discredit your experience, I'm sure it felt amazing in the room, but just clicking around the video, it's very much not a flawless performance - dude flubs lyrics on the first song, that's not the mix. I love this band and would love to catch them live if they ever came near, but no reason to be hyperbolic about the performance. It's a solid sweaty rock show with some rough edges (especially the harmonies, which I agree could be an issue with stage monitor mix).
