Yesterday I counted that I've seen Yellowcard live 8 times since 2002. First time was seeing them with Sugarcult and Less Than Jake.
I’ve seen them play Gifts and Curses and couple times live. For one, Key played the piano part live and Mendez absolutely shredded an extended guitar solo. It was a core memory and hope y’all get a chance to see it.
They're only playing one song from Paper Walls, When You're Through Thinking and Southern Air on this tour. For You and Your Denial goes pretty hard live. I saw someone else say Afraid, and I think they've only played it once in 2007 for Hey! Play This on Myspace, but it's one of the best songs in their discography for me.
They were absolutely insane last night in Denver. Best i’ve ever heard them sound and i’ve been going to shows consistently for 20 years+
My sister, who is more of a casual yellowcard fab and went with me to the Milwaukee show, was impressed with how good they sounded.
Ugh, no Glasgow. Would travel to Manchester preferably if it as a co-headline or YC headlining. I do really want to see YC with the Top Gun/stage setup they have atm though.
Kind of losing my mind that this band broke up a few years ago and this is how many people are here. This place is packed. All ages. It’s incredible to see. I’m so happy.
Seen this band probably more than just about any other … think that was the best they’ve ever sounded. Incredible show.
So jealous. I looked at tickets for tomorrow's show near Seattle and couldn't find anything under $110. Maybe I'll find something tomorrow afternoon I can justify.
Exactly how I felt last week. A very, very selfish part of me misses the dark, dingy club YC days where I could sweat and jump and scream inside, but there is absolutely no denying that they sound better than they ever have. It is just incredible to watch them these days - almost feels surreal knowing how far they have come.
Just reiterating this, I think Afraid is easily a top-5 Yellowcard song that gets lost in a sea of other amazing music from that era. Also, random shout-out to "Promises", the B-side of WYTTSY. Just an absolute ripper.
