Is anyone else excited for this tour? Its a really awesome lineup. I'm definitely going the Akron date at Musica.

[hailthewarrior]

Will be at the Knoxville date. Never heard of the venue, but those three bands are stellar live.

[TSLROCKS]

Where the fuck is the NY show?

[thechrisformat]

Yea, Northeast shows please.

[hailthewarrior]

I believe these are a lot of places around where they missed on their last tour, but I may be wrong.

[meganonthetrain]

I really want to go to the show in Grand Rapids, MI!
I just have to find someway to get there...

[Formatfun]

I might be going to the MI show, but I do have several shows to go to this summer and I don't know if this is one I can add. Copeland, though, is great. I would like to see them.

[Readyfuels]

FUCK where is DC or Baltimore at?!

[emmx8D]

I'll be at the Akron show for sure.
Copeland with Sherwood is great.

[cscwell107]

I'll be at the Akron show for sure.
Copeland with Sherwood is great.

I will be there as well.

[apuzzlesolved]

i thought they said they would be releasing more tour dates.

[cscwell107]

i thought they said they would be releasing more tour dates.

If they do I will update it.

[fanberlinboy]

I hope they add a Minnesota date. Anchor & Braille inaugural tour!

[atticusfinch]

See you kids in Chucktown.

[ascitiesburn101]

fuck! i'm in canada during this. :-(

[jacnrh]

Still praying for some Northwest dates. They didn't come here on their headliner with TProv so I feel it's about time! This is such an amazing lineup and I'll be so bummed if Copeland skips us again.

[DandonTRJ]

I've got my ticket for the LA date. Damn shame it's at Hotel Cafe, though -- 21+ venue. A lot of my slightly younger friends are royally pissed off. Some of them are talking about the Anaheim show instead, and I'm not opposed to seeing Copeland/A&B twice.

[iaminsane20]

what about us people in NY and NJ?

[cscwell107]

Tour starts in a week! Is anyone going to the first show?

[fightinirish217]

what about us people in NY and NJ?

I'm wondering the same thing.

[gurrentzy321]

if anyone likes meese and lives in colorado, my band is opening for them july 1st at hodi's half note in ft collins

[Eldriario22]

no ny... :-(

[BTBAM777]

Going in Tempe on July 7. I guess they play a good mix of new and old so I'm excited. I've seen Sherwood before, they put on a decent show

Can you get a setlist if there isn't one up by then?

[TSLROCKS]

Still not setlist?

[MattRM]

It doesn't start for two more days.

Someone who's going, check to see if the A&B album is for sale! I sort of doubt it will be, but I'm still hoping.

[cscwell107]

Go to the Akron show! You know you want to.

[MattRM]

Go to the Akron show! You know you want to.
The Covington KY show is actually closer to me, but I don't know if I can make it. :-(

[iheartconan]

I'm going to the show tomorrow. I'll try to get a setlist and see what A&B has for sale.

[kdefrisc]

Dear Sherwood,

Thanks for dragging all the bands you tour with through DTB. I can't wait for this show!

<3,
me

[vsthesea]

so excited for the albuquerque date!

sherwood is always fantastic live and i've been looking forward to seeing copeland live for quite a long time. glad they're finally coming here :-)

[cscwell107]

The tour starts today!! Hopefully someone will put up some setlists. :biggrin:

[russogoat]

Here are the set-lists from last night's show in Tulsa (to the best of my recollection):

Sherwood and Anchor & Braille both cancelled.

Meese -

Forward Motion
Broadcast
Tell Me It's Over (The Start Of It)
The Quiet Side
Next In Line

They played another song I missed, sorry.

Copeland -

To Be Happy Now
The Grey Man
Chin Up
Sleep
On the Safest Ledge
Control Freak
The Day I Lost My Voice (The Suitcase Song)
When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out
Pin Your Wings
No One Really Wins
Careful Now
You Have My Attention
Coffee

Encore

Testing the Strong Ones

[anamericangod]

It just doesn't feel the same if they aren't playing California.

[hailthewarrior]

No When Paula Sparks or Brightest? Wow. Would also like Should You Return.

Seeing Testing The Strong Ones will be worth it. Can't wait until Knoxville, I need to see Anchor & Braille and Sherwood again.

Meese prolly played Count Me Out too. I'm pumped for Coffee but I'm sad about no Brightest, When Paula Sparks or California. And did they say why Sherwood and Anchor and Braille canceled?

[vsthesea]

checked out some myspaces and twitters, and found out that sherwood had rv troubles. they will be starting the tour in albuquerque. also, it seems that anchor and braille also couldn't make the first date but plan to be at the albuquerque date as well. good news, i think.

also, sad to see that copeland didn't play love is a fast song but pin your wings is nearly as good for me!

[Thistimeonfire]

Also at the Tulsa date last night. Both Copeland and Meese were fantastic. Talked to Copeland's merch guy beforehand and he said they were planning on switching up the set-list quite a bit throughout the tour. Bummed that they didn't play much off of BMT, but they made up for it with sheer greatness. Talked to Aaron afterward about the whole "Tears of a Child" thing and he said something about possibly scoring Andrew Bowser's next movie. Sounded legit.

[iheartconan]

When Paula Sparks was also on the setlist last night for the encore. Don't know why they didn't play it.

[Readyfuels]

Driving 6.5 hours to the Akron show. Copeland has been a favorite of mine for year and I've never seen them live plus I'm dying to see a&b annnnd Barcelona (again).

[atticusfinch]

This show is going to be beautiful. STOKED to see Coffee + Testing The Strong Ones on there!

[vsthesea]

i bring you the first ever setlists for anchor and braille and sherwood for this tour

anchor and braille
rust
sleep
blur
wedding funeral
sing out
like steps in a dance

sherwood:
middle of the night
new song
no one to love (also new)
for some reason, i felt like i knew this song but going through my music i think it may have been new
the town that you live in
for the longest time
song in my head

anchor and braille was very good. mellow set, for sure, but he was awesome. it sounded very much like most of never take friendship personal or the tone of unwinding cable car. it was nice since i'm not as fond of the new anberlin. sherwood was amazing. they were all really stoked to be on tour again and you could definitely tell from how energetic they all were.

[ramrod24]

Copeland setlist for last night was the same but added brightest and eat,sleep,repeat. I think thats it,no encore though.

I like the sherwood set but I wish they would play more songs and maybe swap out one of the new songs for another song like Alley Cat or Lake Tahoe.

Sweet! Brightest is my favorite Copeland song.

[vsthesea]

I like the sherwood set but I wish they would play more songs and maybe swap out one of the new songs for another song like Alley Cat or Lake Tahoe.

i felt the same way. they didn't have all that much time, though, and they're really trying to get people pumped for the new album since they haven't been on tour since 8 months ago or something. but, yeah, i would have loved to see alley cat or give up.

[cscwell107]

They are doing a headline show in Columbus 9 days after the show with Copeland in Akron. I am going to both because I'm right because I'm right between the two cities. They will probably play Alley Cat there because their set will be way longer at the the headline show.

[cscwell107]

Have they changed the setlist up at all?

[Readyfuels]

anybody care to run through what anchor & braille is selling, merch-wise? as in t-shirts, posters, etc., w/ prices?

probably the same stuff here (https://www.shopbenchmark.net/shop/index.php?main_page=band&cPath=416), I know I saw a picture on the deer shirt on Stephen's (or maybe a&bs) twitter.

[atticusfinch]

That's a short as hell set for Sherwood. I'd like to see about 4-5 more songs on that set.

I'd be surprised if they didn't play "The Best in Me"... I figured they'd be playing more songs as direct support, but I guess not

Yea they definitely need to play way more songs.

1. Love Affair
2. Testing The Strong Ones

Good set. For love affair, he did the song completely by himself with a guitar. It was good, but I would have preferred if he just used the piano that he was standing right next to, like the original version... Also, it was only the second time he's played this in a while, the first time being yesterday in LA.

PS. Anchor & Braille were incredible, expect nothing less of Stephen Christian.

[hailthewarrior]

I love that set. I hope that's what I get in Knoxville.

[atticusfinch]

Holy fucking shit @ that Anaheim set.

[cscwell107]

Barcelona starts the tour today. It would be sweet if someone could get a setlist from them.

[Readyfuels]

I'm coming in from out of town (Maryland) for the Akron, OH show on Monday. What's parking like at The Musica? What's that place like?

[chickmgnt478]

its a super small place. actually i think you go thru a coffee shop to get into musica. But its downtown so if theres not parking right next to it, i think we parked in a parking garage across the street

[cscwell107]

They have free parking across the street at the library if you get there after 6. The venue is pretty cool. Its really small and drinks are pretty reasonably priced.

[MattRM]

I can't wait for the Covington show on Sunday. I was going to go, and then my ride backed out and I wasn't going to go, but now it looks like I'm going again. I just wish A&B were selling their album early.

[atticusfinch]

I'm going to this in exactly 7 days. I'm REALLY excited to see Copeland. They seriously never disappoint.

Yea dude they are a fucking awesome live band. Still rock out to those instant live recordings haha

Absolutely. This'll be my seventh time seeing this band. I am also looking forward to seeing Sherwood for the first time in 3 years, and getting to see Anchor and Braille for the first time. Barcelona was good when I saw them a few months ago.

[hailthewarrior]

Acoustic In-Store in Knoxville and the show... I'm so pumped.

[cscwell107]

My show is today. I'm extremely pumped. I should have a Barcelona setlist.

[cscwell107]

The show was amazing. Definitely top five all time for me. Barcelona is so good live. Its astonishing. And Sherwood's set was a lot different from earlier in the thread. I liked it way more.

I was at this show, right up front. I had never heard of Barcelona before, but they were amazing!! Sherwood was awesome as usual. Left before Copeland.

It's the best show I've been to since BN/Thrice/mwY in 07. Phenomenal performances by all bands involved.

[atticusfinch]

I remember that tour. Definitely was a solid show.

Did you get any video of the acoustic in-store performance by chance?

I'll be shooting video/photos tonight.

I didn't, but there was a dude next to me who was taking videos. I did take a video of You Have My Attention at the show, though. I haven't watched it yet, but my camera isn't that good at videos, so I hope it's decent.

The Day I Lost My Voice is so awesome live, I was blown away. I wasn't the biggest fan of the recorded version.

[Amie FM]

Saw them in Knoxville last night - Came for Anchor & Braille, stayed for the rest. First show I've ever been to where I wanted to buy a CD from every band who played, haha. All the performances were amazing... I really loved Sherwood's set cause their keyboardist is mental! Haha.

Edit: And am I imagining things, or did the guy from Barcelona look a little bit like Shawn from The Matches?

[atticusfinch]

Amazing show tonight. The sets were the exact same tonight as they were last night.

I got video of 2 anchor and braille songs, and 4 copeland songs including a rather hilarious rendition of Coffee.

I'll update this thread over the next few days.

[Xe1881]

i got a video clip of love affair from the instore acoustic. tons of vids of the show in knoxville. i'm making a collage video and should be done soon!

[shepahlers89]

Hey guys, I am new here, so hello! I went to the show in Louisville last week with a DSLR and got some awesome shots of the performances. I have the album on facebook if you want to check them out, edited, of course.

And yes, it was an incredible concert, and a very intimate venue. It was very cool to be able to hang out with Micah, the guitarist for A&B and I talked to Aaron a bit at his in store appearance.
I have still been listening to these artists nonstop since then. {I have replicated the setlist in iTunes and I am listening to it now.}
<3 Anchor & Braille. Barcelona is a new favorite of mine as well, as I had not heard them before this concert.

Enjoy the photos!

I just blogged about the show on Sunday night. Photos + Videos await:

I would be excited about this tour, if it came anywhere near me. Sadly it doesn't so I'm not excited one bit.

Well, lucky for you your disappointment doesn't have to linger, as the last show of the tour was Sunday.

haha, I guess I should've checked the actual dates of the shows before the venues. thanks for helping me get through this.

[AMAAS]

what set did Copeland play in Champaign?

[MattRM]

That video of Coffee is incredible.
