The Wonder Years Band • Page 136

Ordered it solely to not have to carry the posters around at the show on Monday lol

 

I think I'm going to do the same thing.

 

oh cool the 23rd is a day off, might stay up for this???

 

I was gonna do the posters too but dear God $18 shipping and a $10 service fee

 

I know I'm gonna get fucked for postage BUT IT'S TWY so might drop a brick on the merch

 

As someone who couldn’t go to this tour I’m grateful to be able to watch the livestream.

 

This is my show and I did the same thing haha. I wish they had the tour date shirt up as well. It’ll be cool to watch it again after the show

 

actually no $70 shipping so no dropping of bricks today

maybe a small brick

 

Very excited there's a livestream, instant purchase

 

This show was really special. Some assorted thoughts:

I really can't hang in TWY pits anymore. I was up front for all of the openers and lasted until the first chorus of "Came Out Swinging" before deciding to hang further back.

They sounded great. I remember when Dan's voice could barely hold up through a dozen of these songs, but he sounded really strong all night.

I like that Dan very pointedly doesn't sing the "great white hope" line in "Local Man" anymore.

Got the encore I wanted — "I Was Scared and I'm Sorry" and "Me vs the Highway," two songs I'd never seen live before.

There were plenty of posters at the end of the night. Glad I went that route instead of ordering from the live stream site.

These albums are such perfect time capsules of a specific time in my life (end of high school and the first couple years of college). They were just always playing - in my car, between sets at shows, in the background in my dorm. I remember a band practice where my whole band realized we had all separately learned how to play every song on Suburbia so we just spent the entire day playing Wonder Years covers. I have friends that I literally met in line for TWY shows. So many relationships and friendships formed and fell apart around these albums, and thinking about all of those people and all of those moments last night was almost overwhelming. God damn, I love this band.

 

Almost 4 years now since Sister Cities came out. That's wild.

 

Sister Cities is a good album

Thank you for your time

 

I got the same encore in Dallas. It was really special.

 

The first time I listened to Sister Cities all the way through I did not like it and it was the first time I thought that maybe this band wasn’t for me anymore. But I’ve definitely come around. It Must Get Lonely is top 5, maybe top 3 from the entire catalog for me

 

That’s how I felt with No Closer To Heaven, which I still don’t like

 

Anyone know the set times for the tour?

 

Last night was something like this (give or take five minutes):

Doors: 5:30
Save Face: 6:10-6:35
Origami Angel: 6:50-7:20
Spanish Love Songs: 7:35-8:15
The Wonder Years: 8:35-10:35

 

My tickets says doors open at 6:00. Interesting.

 

Not every show has the same door and start time.

 

Sister Cities was one of my favourite albums of the past decade.

 

listened to sister cities today, still love it. what a record

 

Ghosts of Right Now is like a top 5 TWY song for me. Absolutely rips.

 

The acoustic version is one of my favorites in their entire catalog.

 

I love Sister Cities and would love a remix/master even more

 

Wow, I didn't notice this when I saw them on their holiday run! is he changing the lyric or just omitting?
