Who Went To Brand New Show on Long Island Tonight?

[DejaGuy89]

I heard from my buddy it was awesome
and Glassjaw killed
and Brand New played Seventy Time 7


your experiences please

[CollectiveConfusion]

great show. glassjaw did kill.

[introduction]

so jealous.

[WakeUp!WakeUp!]

I'm gonna be totally honest and say I was slightly disappointed. I saw them in St. Louis last month and it was incredible, but tonight alot of things seemed off, including the lighting, the sound, and the order and length of the set list. Manchester Orchestra & Thrice were amazing, I'm not a fan of Glassjaw so I can't really comment on them, but Brand New was just average good, if that makes sense. Don't get me wrong, it was a good concert, but I went in with epic expectations after seeing them in St. Louis, and in my opinion it just wasn't as good.

[maniac R.O.D.]

i went. had a greeeeat time. So sad i missed the first two bands though, they're my favorites

I heard this from a couple of people actually.

[estrella starr]

kevin devine impressed me. i wasnt sure how well hed be able to fill the room soundwise, even with the backing band. i am a huge kd fan though, and was dissapointed that he only played four songs.

man o was man o. the mix was a little off, but they sounded decent.

thrice were incredible. the fact that they went from milly michaelson to ttata to Silhouette made me insanely happy. i dont think i have ever been dissapointed by a thrice set.

i didnt watch all of glassjaw, because i went to go watch brian bonz at the acoustic stage. kevin came down and sang "judy and the alpha queen" with brian, and i got to talk to to kenny vasoli for a second.

i went back to my seat for the end of glassjaw. im not a fan, so i have no comment. i know that as music goes in this scene, im lucky to have gotten to see them.

i was also a bit dissapointed in brand new tonight. the first few songs were the same exact order as philly, and i felt like jess was just screeching through them. now ive seen the band 31 times, so i have a lot to go on, and id say that the first few were the worst ive ever seen the band. thats not to say that they were bad, just not up to the standard i have set for them in my head.

they played a solid set, but the show in philly had more songs. i dunno. it was really freaking awesome, though, to hear the entire arena sing the lyrics back to the band. i got chills a few times.

[estrella starr]

the setlist:

bangkok
sink
degausser
you wont know
tommy gun
sic transit
limo
vices
gasoline
sowing season
you stoke
luca
archers
jesus
bride
at the bottom
play crack

[meroki22]

Maybe it's because it was my first time seeing Brand New and Glassjaw but I thought both bands absolutely killed it. Glassjaw was better though. I'm a bigger Brand New fan but you just can't beat Daryl's energy.

[binncheol]

i really really enjoyed the show tonight. i loved hearing them play new songs & i loved hearing the crowd singing back. it wasn't my favourite brand new show ever, but it was definitely in the top 3, even though i was seating.

thrice, MO & KDev were immense & glassjaw were really good, but i'm not much of a fan to comment on gj

[Rodeo]

31 times? Good, god!

[binncheol]

31 times? Good, god!
ngl, i'm jealous of 31 times.

[TwilightEpidemi]

ok, so can someone who actually likes glassjaw give details about their set?

[diehtc0ke]

ok, so can someone who actually likes glassjaw give details about their set?They fucking killed. I'll probably forget a couple songs cause I suck with setlists but they def played:

Tip Your Bartender
Mu Empire
Ape Dos Mil
Pink Roses
The Gillette Cavalcade of Sports
Two Tabs of Mescaline (!!!)
Siberian Kiss
You Think You're John Fucking Lennon
Some new song. I think it was Jesus Glue but don't quote me

Could obviously have used more EYEWTKAS but since I haven't seen them since 2003, I was very very happy.

[Chop[chop]]

What did Manch Orch play?

[Drewski]

I'm not some "PLAY YFW!" asshole, but to have a tremendous homecoming show in the place where all your successes started and only play one song off your shining debut...it's kind of stupid.

[Rodeo]

ngl, i'm jealous of 31 times.


ngl?

[drawndead]

i had to leave early but kevin devine needed a longer set.

[dundermifflin]

;58074222']What did Manch Orch play?

wolves at night
shake it out
i've got friends
where have you been? w/kevin devine

[bernie16wb]

Kevin should do a rap album.


On topic: I would have loved to go to this but couldn't really justify the time and money that would be spent getting there.

[RiCCioLi]

short sets it seems. Im not nearly as disappointed that I missed this show anymore. I thought it was gunna be more special and a completely new BN/Thrice set then philly 2 weeks ago.

[cinderandsmoke]

ngl?

ngl = not gonna lie

[billy_yo]

They fucking killed. I'll probably forget a couple songs cause I suck with setlists but they def played:

hey ended their set with Siberian kiss during the long island show. i really wish they played longer.

[Rodeo]

ngl = not gonna lie


hhaha.. wow. :hitself:

[billy_yo]

what was with the irrelevant video clips during brand new?

[the outsider]

Yeah that setlist is off... they didn't play Two Tabs or Jesus Glue. They DID play Star Under My Bed (reworked version of a song from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) and the setlist order is off

[only the clouds]

I'm not some "PLAY YFW!" asshole, but to have a tremendous homecoming show in the place where all your successes started and only play one song off your shining debut...it's kind of stupid.They only played one YFW song? That's weird, I went to the CT show on 11/25 and they played 3 in a row off YFW.

[WakeUp!WakeUp!]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that was slightly disappointed. About the irrelevant video clips, I noticed them too. They were different from their St. Louis show. And at one point, during Gasoline, the video clip playing showed a little girl repeatedly stabbing someone in bed. As far as I can remember, that doesn't have anything to do with Gasoline, and it really took alot away from the song, at least for me.

[estrella starr]

31 times? Good, god!

they've been my favorite band since 2002, and it seems like every time they play philly, the do two shows. also, ive travelled a few times to see them.

[Drewski]

Not going to lie, but it's been a somewhat long time since I've gotten this excited for a show. Like many others that went, having to wait for this since July felt like forever and I have to say I'm equal parts enthralled and disappointed. This was either my 7th or 8th time seeing Brand New and I'm having trouble figuring out how it ranks in comparison to their shows of the past...though there were certainly a few unique positives.

Last time I saw Brand New at a venue this big was when they played Madison Square Garden with Dashboard Confessional so it was interesting to see them again out of the coveted club-sized venue. I get a major kick out of hearing the crowd singing with the band and last night wasn't any different than club shows in that respect...exxxxceeeepptttttt thousands and thousands more people screaming. You could tell a lot of people there loved Brand New and the place was absolutely packed (though with some guido douchebags and hot heads tucked in). I couldn't really imagine sitting at this show and I'm happy I upgraded to GA only a few days before. The floor could have been livelier at some points but I think that's more a proponent of my main caveat with the show.

Setlist setlist setlist. I've been listening to this band since the 7th grade and now I'm almost out of college, so it's safe to say that "Your Favorite Weapon" was the soundtrack of my adolescence. That being said, I'M NOT THAT GUY standing in the back screaming out "Logan!" or "Soco!" to the anger of everyone within earshot. But the lopsided setlist (6 from Daisy, 1 from YFW) gave the show a disjointed feeling because honestly, it just didn't really seem like people were feeling Daisy as much as they were everything else. Obviously this is a few things: a) it's new, b) some people haven't embraced it as gospel (yet), c) who the hell knows what the lyrics to Vices is anyway?

I know a ton of people I talked to expecting a setlist that was totally unique to THIS show and its circumstances: Brand New's biggest headline show, a homecoming show, the final show of the tour...but by the standards of what they've done on this tour, this setlist seems positively by the numbers. I don't want to sound bitter, I still had a tremendous time (losing the voice, sweating out half my mass, breaking up a fight after the show and nearly getting killed for it), but I can't help but feel like the experience could have been better with a little tweaking...whether that's tweaking the setlist, fucking around with the sound (which seemed to me a bit inconsistent), or playing every album in order until everyone in attendance is dead, Brand New will always leave you wanting more. And that is in no way at ALL a bad thing.

[Tautou107]

I didn't go, but I really like Kevin's, MO's, and Thrice's setlists. For the short amount of time they had to play, I feel like those were really good choices.

[DejaGuy89]

what was with the irrelevant video clips during brand new?

They did that at every stop i think it was awesome

[greenteaallday]

This is not the setlist they played yesterday.

[diehtc0ke]

This is not the setlist they played yesterday.
I probably should have said it wasnt in order.

[greenteaallday]

I probably should have said it wasnt in order.

They also didnt play Two Tabs

[nycj8433]

I agree with Drewski.

I rarely post on this site, but this way my 11th time seeing Brand New and I have to say it was the worst set I've ever seen them perform. Incredibly lopsided -- 4 songs from their first two albums and 14 from their two most recent albums.

I probably had overly high expectations, but I was expecting a lot more old stuff, this being a homecoming show and all. It was clear the crowd was most excited for 70x7, but there were definitely large chunks of time -- 20 minutes here, 20 minutes there -- when people were kind of just standing around. The crowd didn't know lyrics to the new songs.

They also ended the set at 10:40 -- I don't see why they couldn't have some back for an encore until 11:00 and played a few more old songs. Even just Jesse on guitar.

Still a fun time, but major disappointment.

[googley]

brand new were fucking amazing

[dundermifflin]

had a great time, it was great to hear luca again and the new daisy songs. but still they could have added more from deja and YFW, felt like we all deserved it

[Zachariaahh]

brand new sucks

overrated

[SophGod]

brand new sucks

not what this thread is about, but thanks for the input. asshole.

no problem douchbagg.

[Miss Heartcore]

I think people who attended this show expected Brand New to play a longer setlist that maybe included some more rare songs since it was such a special event for them to sell out the place...even an encore would have been nice. Also would have been nice to hear Jesse actually sing some of the songs instead of scream them but that was kind of expected going into it. Jesse just being Jesse.

[stoopkid8215]

Vinnie and Andy's acoustic sets were so fun.
