Manchester Orchestra / Kevin Devine Tour

[Hainzey X]

tour starts in a little over a week. couldn't be more excited. these venues are tiny. i know they've got a nice little following here on AP.net, but is it just me or is this band WAY smaller then they should be ?

anyway, im also excited to see kevin devine but don't know much about the other opening acts, though.

anyone else going to this ?

[stupidtyonparad]

ugh i want this tour to come anywhere near buffalo SOOOO BAD. id be there in a second. cant wait for new manchester orchestra and kdev is phenominal

[Hainzey X]

yeah, its weird but i kind of found out about this tour by accident. i hear about most tours weeks ahead of time on the home page here on AP.net, but ( unless im mistaken ) i don't recall reading anything on this tour on here. i just sort of happened to be checking out their myspace page and seen some fresh dates up. i can't believe how young these guys are.

i need to find away to get the new right away, great captain album.

ugh i want this tour to come anywhere near buffalo SOOOO BAD. id be there in a second. cant wait for new manchester orchestra and kdev is phenominal

i only live 30 minutes from Buffalo and I couldn't agree more. I may go to Pittsburgh to see that shit,

[CursedCarolers]

I'm going to the show in Jersey. I have to say I've never listened to Manchester Orchestra but I'm excited to see them. I did see Andy Hull open for Kevin Devine in Brooklyn, and I thought he was great.

Wouldn't Akron be closer for you? I think it's about a three hour drive. How far is Pittsburgh?

Check those PMs

[Hainzey X]

wow, really ? my bad. i got some baaad info.

[Hainzey X]

[fightoffyrdmns]

I should be at the first date of this tour, so I guess I'll provide a KD/MO setlist.

This tour is 2/3 of one of my favorite tours ever. Brand New, bring this back. Thanks.

[crit]

Can't wait til 12/09.

[TMS2787]

Ya know, I still haven't even got a chance to listen to it yet. Lol

[kemichels]

WHOAAAAAAA...can you pm me too? Im pumped for this tour...going to the Chicago date!

[fightoffyrdmns]

i remember that tour. excellent line-up. brand new always tours with great bands.

Truth.

They talked about touring for over a year straight after their new album comes out, and they said it was going to be with their 'friends' and there's a possibility that tour is coming back. Also, a BN/STD tour as well. I am pretty much freaking out.

[underdawg1119]

Hopefully going to Athens and Atlanta. Dying to see some new Manchester songs live.

[boxingwithstars]

i'm going to the show in orlando at the social. i saw kevin there with matt pryor in august and it was awesome, i love this venue. i'm really excited!

[TMS2787]

If Brand New and Saves The Day toured together I think this site might crash. Haha.

[Hainzey X]

If Brand New and Saves The Day toured together I think this site might crash. Haha.

hahaha i don't know how it survived the news of last winter's BN/Thrice tour.

[TMS2787]

hahaha i don't know how it survived the news of last winter's BN/Thrice tour.
I'm pretty sure it had a heart attack when they officiaily announced it last year. I went to five shows on the tour. Haha.

[kissy0560]

lol.. you guys make me giggle.

i'm so excited for MO&KD.. someone post a setlist up soon!

[atticusfinch]

i'm going to the show in orlando at the social. i saw kevin there with matt pryor in august and it was awesome, i love this venue. i'm really excited!

I was also at that show. Freaking great show.

I'll be at this one, too. Can't freaking wait. Tour of the year, IMO.

You going to see Copeland this weekend? That's gonna be a wicked awesome show.

[dial_the_ether]

I'm super excited for this show next week. I've yet to see either live, so I'm eagerly anticipating this tour.

[-ben]

going to the pgh date :) so pumped!

[Andrew Love]

going to the Atlanta date!

[fightoffyrdmns]

If Brand New and Saves The Day toured together I think this site might crash. Haha.

so will my bank account and gpa.

[TMS2787]

so will my bank account and gpa.
I'd probably only go to two shows on the tour because I don't listen to Saves The Day.

[takeiteasy_]

12/7!

[stayillogical]

Can't wait til 12/09.

Tuesday is a really bad day for me but I'm going to try my best to make it to Harper's. I will be sad if I miss this.

[squared82]

I'm hoping I can get a ride home for the Pittsburgh date.

[kemichels]

will be at the Chicago date. So pumped.

[LV03]

never listened to kevin devine...mostly would go for MO

[Russellmcdoogle]

I'm seeing them Sunday, it will be amazing.

[estrella starr]

going to philly. i adore the northstar, and ive seen both of these acts there a few times each.

just saw kevin with jesse in brooklyn the other night, but im really excited to see him again. i really love that guy.

[Hainzey X]

no set lists yet ? im just curious to see how many new songs they play.

[nfgrox312]

the tour only starts tonight. i'll do my best with setlists from saturdays show, but i dont know kevin devine very well besides his "big" songs.

[Andrew Love]

cannot wait..I'm gonna need some setlists soon though! I seriously hope they play all the new ones like I Was A Lid, I Can Fell a Hot One and Badges and Badges

[fightoffyrdmns]

cannot wait..I'm gonna need some setlists soon though! I seriously hope they play all the new ones like I Was A Lid, I Can Fell a Hot One and Badges and Badges

I am going tonight (about to leave here soon), so I will have a setlist when I get back tomorrow. At the House of Blues Chicago date they played 4 new jams, so I'm sure they'll play new material, especially now that they're headlining.

[nivek87]

i might have to check this tour out.

[fightoffyrdmns]

Alright. I only know Kevin and Manchester, but I'm assuming most of you are only looking for those setlists.

Kevin Devine and The God Damn Band:
Carnivale
Another Bag of Bones
I Could Be With Anyone
Longer That I'm Out Here
Just Stay
Cotton Crush
Brother's Blood

Okay, Manchester came out and played a ton of new songs, I don't know how many, because they all seemed interconnected to me. So anyway this setlist is going to be choatic and most likely wrong because some may be the same song, just different parts. Doesn't help I'd had some beers before too.

Manchester Orchestra:
New Song (I'm Fine)
New Song (Kick It Up and Bury It)
New Song?
My Friend Marcus
Shake It Out
New Song (You Mean Everything)
Wolves At Night
Now That You're Home
I Can Barely Breathe
Where Have You Been (with Circus!)
Sleeper 1972 instrumentals with totally different lyrics
New Song/Improv (Walk Off With My Drink)
------------
Golden Ticket

Manchester's set was...different. Don't get me wrong, it was great, but I felt like I was watching Jesse Lacey on stage. Andy even said "I'm only playing an encore for these four (rest of MO) and you bastards" (kidding, but still). And if anybody else was there, feel free to correct the set.

[stupidtyonparad]

no no time flat out of kevin...disappointing.

Sounds like that could have been "Memories From A Shore" from his latest RAGC album.

[fightoffyrdmns]

no no time flat out of kevin...disappointing.

The first couple of dates of this tour (the first three I think he said) he's playing between All Get Out, the first band, and Dead Confederate, so he's getting a shorter set.

I have not spun that yet, so you might be right.

wow, that's a LOT of new songs. I kind of wished to hear some of their older ones, but I'm glad they play I Can Barely Breathe, Where Have You Been, Sleeper 1973

Seems wierd to start off with like 4 new songs....You think you would play an older one in between to get the crowd into it.

[LV03]

i would love to hear sleeper 1972

[fightoffyrdmns]

It was more like 5-6, but yeah, I noticed a lot of people losing interest fast. I knew Shake It Out and I was stoked for new songs so I was fine, but I can see that for other people.

[bonnerroo]

Anyone know if Manchester is selling Let My Pride Be What's Left Behind or the new Right Away, Great Captain! album on this tour?

[fightoffyrdmns]

Anyone know if Manchester is selling Let My Pride Be What's Left Behind or the new Right Away, Great Captain! album on this tour?

Yes to Let My Pride Be, didn't see new RA,GC!

[bonnerroo]

Yes to Let My Pride Be, didn't see new RA,GC!

thanks. I haven't gotten to hear the new RAGC yet and am trying to figure out when I can get to one of the record stores that sells it, ha.

I'm looking forward to this tour quite a bit despite the abnormally high number of new songs from MO. I guess as long as they sound good and they aren't ignoring older material altogether, all is well!

To be honest, that's a pretty awesome set. I mean they played pretty much every song that I wanted to hear from "I'm like a virgin" but Colly strings... How were the new songs? and Andy is usually ecstatic to be on the stage.. He really seemed like Jesse?

[LV03]

are these shows selling out? bc i was going to wait and buy my tickets at the door

[atticusfinch]

pretty cool to see MO's set so far. KD needs to be playing WAY more songs than that though.

[mariaftw]

It's because he played second, which was weird.

[nfgrox312]

show tonight started at 8. i don't know if that's the same for all the dates, but i didn't enjoy it starting that late.

order: all get out, kevin devine, dead confederate, manchester orchestra

opening with all the new songs definetly lost my interest and i'm a huge fan of the band. i think i counted about 6, but like was said, they ran together and i wasn't sure which ones were which. andy was pretty funny on stage. "we're going to play a bunch of new songs that you don't know and will get bored of. then we'll play the stuff you paid to see. then again you'll be shitting your pants once you hear these again when the record comes out." rocketown usually gives the artists a strict talk before their shows and tell them not to cuss. of course having kevin devine, a god damn band, and andy hull having the mic all night didn't help that cause. kevin was 3/4 on saying gosh darn band. when he cussed he really felt ashamed like he lost a game or something. andy cussed a couple times and they were all laughing about how stupid a rule that is.

kevin devine:
Carnivale
Another Bag of Bones
I Could Be With Anyone
No Time Flat
Just Stay
(not sure which song but it wasn't cotton crush)
Brother's Blood

manchester:
new song
new song
black man
new song
shake it out
new song
wolves at night
now that you're home
i can barely breathe
where have you been?
now it's on (Grandaddy cover)

[DaniMoo]

I would love to see this tour. Manchester Orchestra is incredible, and I feel like they don't get the attention/respect they deserve.

[jdr2187]

At the nashville show i dont think the last song was a colour revolt cover, im not sure what it was. He did add a few lyrics from colour revolt's song circus to the end of where have you been. But i may be wrong about the last song, but if it is a colour revolt song then i've never heard it. Oh and i didnt think the new songs blended together at all. They all sounded pretty different to me and i didnt hear one that i didnt like. Makes me excited for the new album they said would be out in march!

Oh and whoever asked if the new RAGC was available, yeah it was.

[walshknilb281]

they didnt play i was a lid? or i can feel a hot one off their new ep?

[stupidtyonparad]

hahahha i got a good chuckle out of 'not sure what song but it wasnt cotton crush'

thats just so typical, im afraid that song will become his seventy times 7 because cotton crush is so much better than seventy times 7

[LV03]

wait, MO are headlining? sweet! for some reason i thought kevin devine was.

[TMS2787]

Ehh, I'm not liking the MO setlist at all. That is way to many new songs from an album we haven't heard anything off of and they aren't playing either of the new songs off of the EP? Disappointing.

no sleeper? wtf...I'm really disappointed by this.

[fightoffyrdmns]

how was the new version of sleeper 1972?

It's weird, not going to lie. It's just the instrumentals, and a few lines that are the same. It's not even really the same song.

To be honest, that's a pretty awesome set. I mean they played pretty much every song that I wanted to hear from "I'm like a virgin" but Colly strings... How were the new songs? and Andy is usually ecstatic to be on the stage.. He really seemed like Jesse?

The new songs were really good. Yes, my friend and I both agreed he picked up numerous Jesse mannerisms.

oh alright. my friends said it was a colour revolt song, but maybe they were just talking about the where have you been part.

hahahha i got a good chuckle out of 'not sure what song but it wasnt cotton crush'

thats just so typical, im afraid that song will become his seventy times 7 because cotton crush is so much better than seventy times 7
haha i just said that because it was different from the other set that was posted. i was definetly dissapointed when he didn't play it.

no sleeper? wtf...I'm really disappointed by this.
i started listen to "virgin" a lot before this show and got really into sleeper and golden ticket. i was so pissed i didn't get to hear either. we even asked for an encore, but they wouldn't come out. andy said afterwards he was really tired. he signed my ra,gc! cd, and kevin signed the "i could be with anyone EP". kevin was probably one of the nicest band people i've ever met. so sincere in everything he said and really appreciated anyone coming to see him.

It was me who asked--thank you!

[Andrew Love]

wow fuck that, no songs off the new EP

[Illuminate]

I think Manchester should be playing more than 11-13 songs a night on a headlining tour..

haha i know that it's like a law here in florida that you're not allowed to cuss on stage during an all ages show, but i don't think i've ever been to a show where the artist (or venue for that matter) seemed to care.

i have nothing against hearing new songs, but i'm a little upset that they aren't playing i can feel a hot one or i was a lid. maybe they will switch it up a bit. i'm also surprised kevin is playing second!

[TMS2787]

Wow I just realized KD is playing second, that's weird IMO.

[kemichels]

hope they get their shit figured out by Wed...I'm pretty bummed about the setlist and it's like I don't even want to drive to Chicago to see this...

Their set at Lolla was better than this.

[fightoffyrdmns]

Wow I just realized KD is playing second, that's weird IMO.


Only for the first three dates, and then the last two or something.

[stupidtyonparad]

I think Manchester should be playing more than 11-13 songs a night on a headlining tour..



yeah...seriously? whats the deal with that

[Hainzey X]

i really wouldn't mind that many new songs if :

a.) they weren't all together
&
b.) they weren't in such a short set ( for a headliner)

but i believe im getting in for free, so i really can't complain. i am a tad disappointed though.

[kemichels]

meh, I don't want to drive 3 hours for this anymore but i guess my gf bought me tickets so i have to go. I was SO excited for this show too.

[fightoffyrdmns]

meh, I don't want to drive 3 hours for this anymore but i guess my gf bought me tickets so i have to go. I was SO excited for this show too.

I drove four, I feel your pain (no pun intended)

[estrella starr]

hahahha i got a good chuckle out of 'not sure what song but it wasnt cotton crush'

thats just so typical, im afraid that song will become his seventy times 7 because cotton crush is so much better than seventy times 7

i feel like "ballgame" is his 70X7, tbh. he seems to not like playing that song anymore, probably because he isnt that same person that wrote that song, much like jess with 70X7. notice how he changes up all the lyrics now to reflect how in the past that song really is?

i still feel like he enjoys playing cotton crush. i dunno.

and im kinda dissapointed about these setlists. i want to hear more out of kev, and i want to hear manO stuff that i know. im not really excited for this show anymore...

[stupidtyonparad]

yeah i dont really care its not coming here. to be honest, that set sucks, dont open with that many new songs, put them later on in the show. and dont play 13 songs headlining, your best friends bands play upwards of 20 live headlining (kdev and brand new)

and damn kevin is getting screwed on time

[nfgrox312]

kevin gets 35 minutes. at the very end of brother's blood he added in "when you realize it's a pattern and not a phase" into the outro so that the girl next to me could be happy. everyone that's iffy if they want to go or not, you should. it's a great show where all 4 bands put on a great set and you really don't see that much anymore.

[atticusfinch]

it's so funny how people are so quick to abandon a band's tour just because they aren't playing "all their favorite songs".

seriously. MO is fucking amazing live. Just because they're not playing all of Virgin doesn't mean the new songs aren't amazingly good live. I'm actually glad they're playing a bunch of new songs. For a while there, I was afraid they were gonna pull a Say Anything and tour off the same CD for 3 years.

Personally, I'm stoked to hear the new stuff live.

I always like hearing new material, but ideally for me, when it comes to a majority of a set I like to have heard the material before seeing it performed live. i have a whole "taking it in process" I like to experience prior to seeing it performed that makes going to shows more delightful to me. I like to previously connect with the song, so when I hear it, I can go to that place so to speak. you know? either way, i'm still stoked to see them and kevin.

yeah, I hear ya for sure man. I'm that way too with a lot of bands, especially Brand New. I've just seen MO a few times now, and I'd like to hear something different. I'm sure if I knew the songs beforehand it would be much much more enjoyable, but I'm still going to have a solid time.

it's so funny how people are so quick to abandon a band's tour just because they aren't playing "all their favorite songs".

seriously. MO is fucking amazing live. Just because they're not playing all of Virgin doesn't mean the new songs aren't amazingly good live. I'm actually glad they're playing a bunch of new songs. For a while there, I was afraid they were gonna pull a Say Anything and tour off the same CD for 3 years.

Personally, I'm stoked to hear the new stuff live.

i totally agree, but at the same time this is going to be my first time seeing them so i was just hoping for a more well rounded set.

i'm still going if i can. i'm an idiot and didn't realize this show is the 17th and classes end the 12th for me, so i'll already be home for break and i'll actually have to drive back 3 hours to see this.

lol, I've totally done that before. Is it coming anywhere near your hometown? Because you might be able to call the venue and see if they'll make an exception and will refund you.

[shannomu]

Kevin is with the band? I was thinking it'd just be him.

[fightoffyrdmns]

Kevin is with the band? I was thinking it'd just be him.

Yeah, Mike Strandberg, Brian Bonz, Ben (Brand New's drum tech), and a bassist who I'm not familiar with.

[underdawg1119]

I'm glad they're playing a lot of new songs. As long as my favorites from Virgin are still there (which they are so far) I'm good. I hope Atlanta and Athens aren't sold out yet..

[maxjesseken]

I was at this show, and for all the people doggin on MO's set, I have a reply:

Their set was incredible. I can totally relate to the whole "I want to hear them play songs that I know" thing, but it was really awesome to hear the new songs. It was a pleasant "preview" to the album. The new songs sound REALLY good. "Shake it out"'s bridge/breakdown part is incredible.

Despite the fact that the band didn't play many of the songs off of Virgin, the songs they did play were awesome. I sang my effin heart out, and it was an awesome experience.

Let me put it this way: I've been to a good bit of shows, and this show is one that I can't stop thinking about. I didn't enjoy Dead Confederate's set or All Get Out's set near as much, but MO and KD's sets alone are still fresh in my mind.

I dunno... I may be a loner on the positive review of the show, but for me, it was awesome. DRIVE THREE HOURS FOR IT! IT WAS WORTH MY THREE HOUR DRIVE! =]

Is the 40 Watt already sold out?

how did you feel about the new version of Sleeper? Did they play it? Or can you list what MO played from Virgin? I'm still excited to see this, and will be driving three hours, haha

[maxjesseken]

how did you feel about the new version of Sleeper? Did they play it? Or can you list what MO played from Virgin? I'm still excited to see this, and will be driving three hours, haha

nah they didn't play Sleeper. From Virgin, if I remember correctly, they played:
Wolves at Night
Now that Your Home
I Can Barely Breathe
Where Have You Been (with the Circus ending)

seems like a short list, but for me, I let it all go during those 4 songs and thoroughly enjoyed them. I was satisfied with what I got out of those songs (which was singing my heart out ridiculously). Those songs were awesome.

If I was you, I would be open to the new songs. Don't take the attitude of "Play something I know!"
Thats easy to do, but just enjoy the new stuff. Try and really take in the music. It was awesome for me.

[underdawg1119]

Nice, I'll def be open to the new songs (although they better play sleeper otherwise ima cry haha). I'm glad the new stuff is sounding great though...makes me excited for the new cd. Was the crowd really into it at your show?? I'd love to let go during Where Have You Been, hahah...song gets me everytime. I'm assuming the Chicago show will be fine...usually Chicago kids are up to date on good music that's playin' around town. haha.

[Andrew Love]

[boxingwithstars]

lol, I've totally done that before. Is it coming anywhere near your hometown? Because you might be able to call the venue and see if they'll make an exception and will refund you.

no, the closest show from my hometown is in tampa which is still kind of a drive. if i end up going i would rather just go to the show in orlando... especially since it's at my favorite venue. the real problem is i would have to drive back that night or super early the next morning because i need to be back home by 1:00 the next day which is annoying! ugh if only they were coming here a week earlier :-(

[maxjesseken]

I'm assuming the Chicago show will be fine...usually Chicago kids are up to date on good music that's playin' around town. haha.

as far as singing along with the band goes, yeah the crowd was into it. Andy swung the mic around to let the crowd sing in the first verse to "now that you're home" and to one chorus of "where have you been" (when you look at me, i'll be ...) - I think that's classified as the chorus?

so yeah the crowd was vocally active. Not a lot of people moved around a lot though. At all. Of course I know that it would be ridiculous to hxc dance to MO, but I personally couldn't help but bounce around or throw a finger up to one of the lines of the song. I probably looked ridiculous, but I didn't care. It was manchester freakin orchestra. haha

[underdawg1119]

ha yours looks like an Athens username as well. Nope I'm from Alpharetta.
Haha, yeah, I've been regretting my username since oh...2005 or so. I'm not paying to have it changed though, so it's whatever.

i'm still going if i can. i'm an idiot and didn't realize this show is the 17th and classes end the 12th for me, so i'll already be home for break and i'll actually have to drive back 3 hours to see this.

aw man that sucks! hope you can still go!

[Poot.]

no AZ, no go. But I would like to know how Carnival sounds with a full band. Probably my favorite out of the myspace demos.

[fightoffyrdmns]

Absolutely fucking unbelievable. Seriously, the highlight of his set for me. I'd seen it acoustic on solo tour, Matt Pryor tour, NY show, etc. but full band was so great. I guess knowing it like it had already been released made it more of an experience for me though. But seriously, that song has so much energy with the band.

you know what : now that you put it that way, maybe this is way to approach this show. i love M.O. and just watching them play live in such an intimate venue should be well worth the (free) ticket. i appriciate your optimism ! haha

do we have a release date on the new album yet ?

[nlcentralchamps]

I shot KD a myspace message last night asking him basically what was up with him playing second, and asked if he would still be playing second at the Orlando show. This was the answer I got:

"I am probably going to be on 2nd on that show, sad to say - but we'll see.

Thanks for the kind words -

Kevin"

I think it is really great that he gets back to his fans like that. Can't wait for this show, even though I'm not exactly nuts about MO's set so far.

ah man, that kind of sucks. i really wish he was playing a longer set.

[TMS2787]

I really hope KD is direct support on Friday, I don't even know who Dead Confederate is but that doesn't mean I won't enjoy them. And I was listening to LMPBWLB before work this morning and I am sad that I won't hear I Was A Lid, such a great song.

[stupidtyonparad]

yeah me and kevin had a little myspace conversation back and forth through messages at one point because i was supposed to open for one of his shows and it didnt work out cause of the venue being a little unorganized

but yeah, its cool when musicians actually care enough to answer. the only ones i can know like that are him and big d, i heard against me! was like that, but from my experiences, thats not true at all. but maybe its their ego talking nowadays as opposed to say a year ago

oh i think reel big fish is pretty fan orriented with things like that too, definitely a cool thing

[nlcentralchamps]

ah man, that kind of sucks. i really wish he was playing a longer set.

Yeah it does.
I really don't care much about the other 2 bands. It won't stop me from having a good time though.

Pretty sweet that he actually responded to you. Sucks about the news though. Gah I love KD. I saw him open for Matt Pryor in August here. Great show.

i was at that show! it was amazing. i went to see kevin, but i ended up falling in love with matt pryor's solo album.

[underdawg1119]

I also had Kevin answer a myspace message of mine..lol.

/bragz

Sucks that he's not direct support. I feel like he's definitely the biggest name of all the openers.

[nlcentralchamps]

/bragz

Yeah, he definitely is. This will be my first time seeing him, and id kill for a little longer set. Hopefully MO expands theirs a little bit before then as well.

[Ragnar]

Yeah, Mike Strandberg, Brian Bonz, Ben (Brand New's drum tech), and a bassist who I'm not familiar with.


RUSSELL SMITH! [i love russell. he's the man]

[underdawg1119]

Yeah, he definitely is. This will be my first time seeing him, and id kill for a little longer set. Hopefully MO expands theirs a little bit before then as well.
You shouldn't be disappointed. He puts on a good show.

And agreed about the sets. Last time I saw Manchester headlining they played like 12 songs...I wish they would realize they have 2 full lengths worth of material they could play though. I'd love to hear The Procession or The Other Side.

Oh well. The new songs will be awesome, I'm sure.

[crit]

It's really disappointing that KD is playing second, and that many new songs in one set (MO) is a little iffy.

[nlcentralchamps]

What time are these shows ending anyways? 8 PM start time is late for me for a weeknight show.

[Poot.]

Absolutely fucking unbelievable. Seriously, the highlight of his set for me. I'd seen it acoustic on solo tour, Matt Pryor tour, NY show, etc. but full band was so great. I guess knowing it like it had already been released made it more of an experience for me though. But seriously, that song has so much energy with the band.


ohhh man.. someone really needs to video that. i was a bit worried about how that one would turn out with full instrumentals, beause i've fallen in love with the demo version, but this sounds.. just, epic.

EDIT: found one. courtesy of LJ.
ULz4onuShJU&feature=related

great ending. solid. this album cannot come soon enough.

[micsforsinging]

Kevin should def play second to last

[nivek87]

Kevin should def headline.
Corrected :)

[fightoffyrdmns]

Corrected :)

Truth. As much as I love Manchester, Kevin and the band should definitely be headlining. Are you going to be at the Richmond date?

[kemichels]

Will report in more tomorrow, but Kevin played second to last (he was freaking unbelievable and put on a great set...first time seeing him here, *instant fan*, and the show was fucking amazing. They played a new song that they haven't played live ever at the very, very end (I Have Friends In All The Right Places)...it was pretty awesome. They also played "I Can Feel A Hot One" which I don't think they have yet. Blackman sounded amazing, so did Shake It OUt and the rest of the new songs.

Plus, druing Where Have You BEen...EVERYBODY came out and played drums/guitars/generally rocked out. Kevin Devine was out bangin on da drums.

Also, I want to say All Get Out has AMAZING potential. Very similar to Andy in kind of the "sound" of his vocals, but the guy knows how to sing, and they write some damn good music and put on a hell of a show. Color me impressed.

Glad you had a good time!

[nivek87]

Truth. As much as I love Manchester, Kevin and the band should definitely be headlining. Are you going to be at the Richmond date?

Definitely, Kevin is such a talented writer and musician. oh, and I am planning to, how about you?

[kemichels]

I don't know about really any other of Kevin's songs, but I know he played Cotton Crush, and Ballgame...it was awesome.

[kemichels]

I'll post some vids later, too

[alcoholandirony]

Can't wait til 12/09.

same.

Hopefully he will be playing second to last next week as well.

[kemichels]

he was listed on the bill as playing second this show...so I was so freaking happy when I saw Dead Confederate come up 2nd (I really didn't like them..) . All Get Out was awesome, however....people need to see them.

[nivek87]

canal club has Kevin going on right before MO too. i hope that stays the case.

[fightoffyrdmns]

Definitely, Kevin is such a talented writer and musician. oh, and I am planning to, how about you?

Absolutely. I was just going to do the Richmond date, but I was bored Friday and decided to head down to Raleigh.

I'm really glad that Kevin is playing 2nd to last now. Every time I figure out what songs I want Kevin to play, I just keep going on and on. I'm glad I heard Ballgame mentioned, and I Can Feel A Hot One as well.

[squared82]

I hope they play I Can Feel a Hot One on saturday. That would make my night.

[fightoffyrdmns]

So I just found out I'm going to see this tour (again) in Boston on Tuesday because it happens to align with my visit to Northeastern University. I am extremely excited.

[boxingwithstars]

Truth. As much as I love Manchester, Kevin and the band should definitely be headlining. Are you going to be at the Richmond date?

i agree. i love MO, but it kind of puzzles me how kevin has been around longer than them and they are already becoming more popular than he is. he's so fucking underrated, it's not even funny.

[TMS2787]

I Can Feel A Hot One is now being played? I'm exicited about that. I'm going to the show tonight so I'll have a review/setlist up.

[kemichels]

It was the night that I went (Chicago show). I'll upload all my videos to youtube this afternoon and post them in hurrr,

[natedorough]

I don't know song names and what not, but the show last night in Lansing, Michigan was completely sold out, and it was an amazing night. All 4 bands are incredible musicians. Dead Confederate was scary good. KD was awesome w/ the band, such great energy. And Manchester killed it.

Regarding the order of bands, it's a Manchester Orchestra headlining tour. They'll close every night. KD is direct support, so they'll play right before Manchester, every night. DC will play 2nd, AGO 1st. Every night. The order is not always determined by who's "bigger". Manchester routed a headlining tour, and then asked KD to support. However, last night, while the crowd loved KD, it was definitely a Manchester crowd.

If you guys get a chance, go see this tour. Nicest group of people I've ever had the pleasure to work with, and such a ray of light in a very cloudy music scene right now.

eehhhh...Dead Confederate was not so great to me. The lead singer was so nasally and sounded like a horrible version of the smashing Pumpkins lead singer. Their music was okay, but it was pretty much the same thing, again, and again. And the order of the bands hasn't been the same every night, which is why everyoen is asking. Kevin was listed on teh bill as playing second for my show, but he ended up playing before Manchester. He has also played 2nd at a couple other shows. I'm pretty sure now he's continually playing before Manchester, however, but it wasn't clear from teh start.

[fightoffyrdmns]

KD is direct support, so they'll play right before Manchester, every night.

Wrong. Each date is booked differently. I've already been to a date on this tour where Kevin was not direct support, but played right after All Get Out.

[kn022]

Last night was an amazing show. I'm not sure if Kevin will be a direct support for every show or not from now on, but all openers played for a good amount of time. I was unable to stay for MO (I wasn't feeling good but didn't want to miss Kevin while he was in Michigan), but all three openers were amazing and there wasn't a dull moment throughout the show. It sold out (the people behind me in line got the last tickets, I am pretty sure), and it was a good crowd, and a great atmosphere.

I only have Kevin's setlist, but I thought I would share
(I think this is close to the exact order, but I can't be 100% positive)
Carnival
Another Bag Of Bones
I Could Be With Anyone
No Time Flat
You're My Incentive
Just Stay
Cotton Crush
No One Else's Problem
My Brother's Blood

Somewhere in the middle of that, he sang a song/rap which was hilarious.

[fightoffyrdmns]

Carnival
Another Bag Of Bones
I Could Be With Anyone
No Time Flat

Please let this be the setlist Tuesday and/or Friday.

Will replace Cotton Crush and No One Else's Problem full band for Ballgame. Just sayin'.

Was it about Kareem Abdul Jabbar?

[stupidtyonparad]

Was it about Kareem Abdul Jabbar?


has he ever played ballgame full band? i dont think so, not someting ive ever seen anyways

i think kareem abdul jabbar thing is dead and gone too bro, he does a lot of weird raps and stuff, like the fresh prince theme for example

[fightoffyrdmns]

i think kareem abdul jabbar thing is dead and gone too bro, he does a lot of weird raps and stuff, like the fresh prince theme for example

Ah sorry, meant I would trade those songs full band to see Ballgame. Sorry Mike and Brian.

And he pulled out Kareem Abdul Jabbar a few months ago, I don't think it's dead.

[kemichels]

He played Cotton Crush and Ballgame at the Chicago show. I have no idea if he played No One Else's problems because I didn't know his stuff too well (and now I'm working on it :) )

[kemichels]

I still need to post videos. I have Cotton Crush and Ballgame, for sure

[kn022]

Please let this be the setlist Tuesday and/or Friday.

Was it about Kareem Abdul Jabbar?

It wasnt Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I know I heard something about Paul Revere and Marvin Gaye. I am hoping someone got it on video. I knew I should have brought my camera in with me.

People were telling him to play Ballgame (and Haircut), and he said if he had time at the end of the set, he would play something without the band, but he didn't. He added 'when you realize its a pattern and not a phase' to the end of My Brother's Blood.

[fightoffyrdmns]

He played Cotton Crush and Ballgame at the Chicago show. I have no idea if he played No One Else's problems because I didn't know his stuff too well (and now I'm working on it :) )

You'd probably know if you heard it, it has "you're no one else's problem but you sure are mine..." repeating in it a few times.

[Andrew Love]

just got my ticket..so fucking pumped

[-ben]

tomorrow nightttttttt

[atticusfinch]

gah i can't wait for this show. highlight of my month. seriously.

[TMS2787]

The show in Akron tonight was good. All Get Out was really good and a very plesent surprise, Dead Confederate wasn't too good, Kevin Devine was good and Manchester Orchestra sounded good but the strings of new songs I didn't know kind of left me wanting more.

I can't wait to for this showwww.

I went to the Chicago date. I thought Dead Confederate were great, exellent musicians. Their songs seemed to drag on a bit sometimes but overall a fantastic performance. Did anyone notice those old guys who came from Idaho? They were calling them the next Nirvana. I also thought All Get Out sounded better than their recordings, great live show. Kevin Devine was amazing, especially Ballgame and Cotton Crush. Too bad MO refused to play Colly Strings but oh well.

[kemichels]

lol, I was right next to the guys who were from Idaho. They kept yelling ROCK ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. lol. All Get Out put on a wonderful performance. Extremely powerful. MO played I Can Feel a Hot One at our show, so I was damn happy about it, as it hasn't been played at any other ones. Where Have You Been was fucking sick, as well.

[kemichels]

ps, upping vids for that show now...will post soon.

[Andrew Love]

what is this circus ending to where have you been?

[crit]

"Circus" by Colour Revolt.

[Andrew Love]

also what is "Shake It Out" and "Black Man"? are these just new songs?

[kemichels]

yeah

[anamericangod]

That KD set is not very impressive. Bummer. :-(

[Andrew Love]

yeah
know anywhere I can hear them?

[mariaftw]

check the mo lj comm, a bootleg was posted.

[Villanova1L]

Is Manchester headlining tomorrow night in Philadelphia? I have a final monday morning, but REALLY want to see MO and could do without seeing the other bands (no disrespect to KD, or the other bands).

[Salomonbz90]

All Get Out opened and played amazing. This band will be big soon.
Dead Confederate bored me.
Kevin was spot on. His set was short and did not include Cotton Crush. Other than that, he played some new songs and a few other oldies.
Manchester opened with I believe 5 new songs then went into Sleeper, Where Have You Been, Wolves at Night, Now That You're Home, Golden Ticket, and then some others. As usual, Where Have You Been featured Kevin, his keyboardist and some other guy sharing the set with the MO drummer. He closed playing a few other songs, just him, his guitar, and a blue light. The songs aren't in order. In fact, I believe he played Sleeper second to last.
Great show, don't miss it.

You said you got "I can feel a hot one" post that!

[kemichels]

haha okay, okay, gettin 'em now

[-ben]

If anyone can find a good quality video of "Brother's Blood" from this tour I would be very grateful. It was absolutely amazing, one of the highlights of the night, not including chilling outside with Kevin and Andy and a bunch of other dudes outside of the venue after the show :) they were so incredibly nice. Brother's Blood and Mean Everything To Nothing are both gonna be out this spring (March-ish) on Favorite Gentlemen.

EDIT:

-2V9Lpc_ePg

[utgjames]

I saw this in Lansing and actually interviewed Kdev prior to the show. I will up that sometime. It's an hour long because we had dinner together.

All Get Out was awesome.
D.C. bored the living hell out of me. Just seemed not into it and the back to back 10min. songs got old.
KDEV tore it up.
MO was MO

Haha nah they were yelling WALKER. Thats the name of the guitarist with the huge beard i think. Even after they were finished I kept hearing it from the merch table.

[kemichels]

ahhhhhhhh...maybe that's it. That guitarist looked so bored the whole time. The keyboard guy was awesome though, lol. I liked his stasche.

hahaha sweet. i left after where have you been, so im assuming i missed that.

also, andy appologized in advance for the lack of older songs in the set list. " were not mind readers " he said.

[estrella starr]

i hope someone puts that encore up on youtube. it was pretty silly.

[nizzlefoshizzle]

I have audio. i'll post the whole set tonight if I get around to it.

[shannomu]

I have audio. i'll post the whole set tonight if I get around to it.

Audio of the whole set? SWEET. Where Have You Been at the end with Kevin pretty much floored me .. shit. I was hoping someone got a video but this will definitely do!

[takeiteasy_]

Kevin Devine was incredible last night!

[shannomu]

Kevin Devine was incredible last night!

This is also true. I only saw him play with the band once before and I wasn't a huge fan of it, but this definitely changed my mind.

Nah, I'm just interested in the school in general. Not too sure of a specific major, just that NU has all the options I've been looking at.

Will definitely check it out. I'm really excited for tomorrow.

[nizzlefoshizzle]

didn't have a chance to edit the philly sets tonight but i'll definitely get it done sometime this week. Just keep an eye on this thread.

[estrella starr]

no rush. you did us all a favor, cant rush that! im super excited, though, for sure.

Not gonna lie, I need new pants now. That was wicked good.

[bernie16wb]

The show in Akron tonight was good. All Get Out was really good and a very plesent surprise, Dead Confederate wasn't too good, Kevin Devine was good and Manchester Orchestra sounded good but the strings of new songs I didn't know kind of left me wanting more.
I agree, I liked All Get Out and I wasn't feeling Dead Confederate. The long songs didn't help either.

I loved Kevin's set, though I'm a pretty big Kdev fan so it'd be hard for him to disappoint. MO was great and this is where I disagree with you. I loved the new material, it just made me even more psyched for the new album.

[micsforsinging]

The one thing I love about Northeastern is that there are so many options and therefore so many interesting people.

I'm a pharmacy major, but can still jam with Berklee kids, Conservatory kids, record at NEU's facilities...I got a minor in the music industry program in just two years...

[atticusfinch]

Yeah adding the lyrics from Circus is awesome.

[bernie16wb]

I don't know if been posted already but here's Where Have You Been w/Kevin Devine and some guys from All Get Out from the Akron show. It ended with lyrics from Kevin's You'll Only End Up Joining Them followed by Chris yelling. I couldn't make out what Chris was yelling at the show and the video cuts out before it.

Manchester Orchestra

Black Man
Now That You're Home
My Friend Marcus
Shake It Out
New Song
Wolves at Night
Golden Ticket
I Can Barely Breathe
30 Seconds of a RAGC Song
Where Have You Been

Both bands played incredible sets. "My Brother's Blood" is a really powerful song. I also think that "My Friend Marcus" is going to turn out to be one of the best recorded Manchester Orchestra songs.

As for All Get Out, I wish I knew more song titles. I know they played Water and God second to last and their last song was a fairly long one where the singer blames god for a lot of things. Dead Confederate was eh.

[underdawg1119]

Has anyone posted the audio from the Des Moines show? It's really good sound quality too. It was on the MO livejournal community a couple of days ago, only thing is, all the songs are untagged.

[nizzlefoshizzle]

I might go to the Baltimore show and record it as well if I feel like driving 2 hours each way. I hope you guys like the Philly recording. I had some issues with one of my mics going in and out so there are a few places where I had to take the left channel and copy it over to the right channel.

[underdawg1119]

The Philly recording and the Des Moines recording are pretty close in quality, and both are awesome. The only thing is "New Song 1" and "New Song 2" from Philly are together as one song on the Des Moines set.

Not trying to say either is wrong, just trying to figure out what to label them in iTunes..lol.

I kept the list in my phone, but I upgraded while in Boston so I believe that's the right order but I might be off. If anyone wants to correct, let me know.

Manchester:
New (I'm Fine)
New (Pride)
New (Kick It Up and Bury It)

New (Black Man)
Now That You're Home
New (My Friend Marcus)
New (Shake It Out)

Again, from memory, so if anyone was there and can correct let me know.

[MomentOfSilence]

I posted a setlist on page 15 for the Harper's Ferry show. As far as Kevin Devine goes, I think you've got You're My Incentive and Just Stay switched.

It was sort of hard to distinguish when one new Manchester song began and another ended; This is what I think they played before they started doing only old songs:

New Song
New Song (Andy Solo)
Black Man
Now That You're Home
My Friend Marcus
Shake It Out
New Song

[underdawg1119]

I would challenge you to a fight over them, but turns out I'm going to be out of town for the ATL date. I might be going to Jacksonville instead though.

Oh shit, sorry. Haha I need about 24 hours of sleep to catch up on my life haha.

Yeah, the first time I saw this tour I was like, "how many songs was that?" It's expanded from six to eight or so, it's crazy.

If you don't mind me asking, where were you in the crowd? I didn't know that like anybody else there knew KD, but maybe that's just where I was.

new song #3... was that all there was to the song? i went to the show at harper's ferry and fell in love with the song, and i could've sworn it was at least another minute long. there was another (second) verse beginning with "i remembered that i wanted to kill you" and it got more loud/emotional, and i don't remember the exact lyrics, but instead of blaming himself, he sings about how he realizes that he didn't force her to be that woman, and it's her own fault/doing. people who were at the harper's show: can you confirm this? i'm not making it up, am i? because i really fell in love with the song right then and there, and half the reason was because of the more emotional ending. people going to future shows: do you think you could try to record this song, or at the least, listen and make sure there's more to it? because now i'm really doubting myself, since this recording is only half as long as i remember it being.

[MomentOfSilence]

True. The first verse talked about wanting to kiss her and her not being the woman she used to be, then it was about him wanting to kill her and her becoming who he forced her to be. The third part was about her becoming who she forced her to be.

[Illuminate]

Last night at Maxwell's was amazing. I sadly missed All Get Out but they were really nice dudes. Dead Confederate was pretty cool and like Andy told me they sound like a "Country Nirvana". Kevin Devine was absolutely phenomenal. Not one song he played was at fault and always such a nice guy. Manchester was incredible. They played a ton of new songs throughout the set, they all sounded really good. Especially "Mean everything to nothing, my friend marcus, and shake it out", the old songs were great too. He played "Where Have you been" (with you'll only end up joining them and circus lyrics) at the end. And then after Just Andy and Chris were on the floor playing some new slow song. Was an amazing show. Oh and Jesse Lacey was there, also such a nice dude.

[kemichels]

Did Jesse come out for any songs?! I would've died to see that.
