I must have missed that announcement - I also see TOP going on at 8:45 every night (according to setlist.fm) so the opener's set must be real short.
Still can’t believe how good that set is, but if I could offer one minor complaint it’s that they aren’t playing At The Risk of Feeling Dumb which is a major highlight on Clancy for me. I doubt they make any changes during this tour, but I’m going to the Cleveland date and I think they have a week off before that show so maybe we get a 1 or 2 song difference? Probably not tho.
Band was great last night in LA. Can't believe how many songs they played and I had almost zero complaints. Would have loved a bit more Trench ( no Chlorine was a surprise) and I really, really wanted to hear At The Risk of Feeling Dumb live cause it would've been massive. But the band delivered. Loved all the new songs live, especially Next Semester and Navigating. Strangely, the highlight for me of the whole set might have been Mulberry Street. It might have been the deepest cut of the set, but the crowd participation on that one was so fun.
I could actually do without that part of the set. Especially considering they did it on the Scaled & Icy tour the last time I saw them. Would have been a good opportunity for this tour to sneak in At the Risk or another old song.
For some reason all three times I've seen TOP (their last three tours, and also this upcoming one) they have never announced the opener ahead of time
Going tomorrow night in Newark, has this tour been selling well? Their media presence is like none so I hope they are able to hang on to doing arenas as I think it really suites them.
From what I have seen, I would say most dates have been like 80-85% full, which is pretty great for a band like you said who has no media presence and haven't had a huge hit in a long, long time.
I was even surprised by how good the Icy tour sold and this one seems to be selling just as well. They've got enough hits and new albums do well enough to stay an arena act for years to come.
I was at the Baltimore show last night and it looked sold out to me. Sidenote, these guys just put on a fucking incredible show. I've seen them on every tour since Vessel and I feel like it gets better every time, they're so good at adapting the show to the new "era", it feels different every time. It also made the new album grow on me a ton, I already liked it but there are some damn good songs on this thing
Caught the Boston show on a whim last night. I hadn't seen them since the FOB/Panic tour back in 2013, and they've grown into their own as artists and it shows
Show was awesome on Saturday night. We took our 10-year-old son and it was his first concert ever. He had a blast. It was my 10th time seeing them. Definitely their longest set I've ever seen clocking in at more than 2 hours and 15 minutes. I'm not so sure I liked this tour better than the S&I tour (i really enjoyed the full band last tour and I thought the B-Stage was a lot better that tour than this one as Josh's drumming really took away from the intimacy I think they are going for in that portion of the show) but the way these guys continue to just command an arena is second to none. The energy, the tactics, the visuals/effects is insanely great. My one observation (and I kind of noticed this in online clips leading up to the show) is that this has to be the least Tyler has ever actually sung/rapped during a show. Feel like he let the crowd take over for 50% (or more) of the set - which is fine, but I don't ever recall him taking that much time off, haha.
Should be going tonight. I have to get a ticket still but definitely planning on it. Finally came around on the new album a lot the last couple weeks. Next Semester especially is just unreal.
Oh man I thought he was just under the weather at my show and that's why he was letting the crowd do so much of the heavy lifting for the vocals but mine was like a month ago
Actually, Regional At Best will always be my favorite, but assuming we're only counting official albums.
They were recording for a live album during their three Columbus shows this weekend. Also filmed a live music video for Routines in the Night.
They will have a new single 'The Line' for season 2 of Arcane: It can be presaved here: ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: SEASON 2 (SOUNDTRACK FROM THE ANIMATED SERIES)
