THURSDAY's holiday show in Connecticut at Toad's Place...

THURSDAY
THE SLEEPING
THE DEAR HUNTER
MOVING MOUNTAINS

Such a late show.... I'm used to all the shows in Boston starting at 6. Got back to Boston at 4 am, oof.

Moving Mountains was awesome. I had an awful vantage point for seeing them, but they had a solid set. Definitely checking them out in Cambridge, MA soon.

The Dear Hunter was fun, although they didn't have the most solid set I've seen. The new songs sound awesome and definitely got me pumped for Act 3.... I think they played 3 new songs? Someone else can confirm that hopefully.

The Sleeping was good, but the new piano was WAY overpowering with sound from where I was. I will blame that on the venue, not the band, but I couldn't hear anything other than piano. The crowd reaction was awesome, way better than any reaction I've seen in Mass. or Rhode Island for them. They also did a couple new songs. Their set started with a close friend of the singer proposing to his girlfriend on stage. So cute!

Thursday was phenomenal. I've never seen them in a club environment; it's always been on some big festival stage or something. Them without a barrier is even more intense and intimate than I imagined. They pulled a bunch of songs they usually don't play. They played one song they've never played live (Friendsitaf?) and played that new song on their Myspace. During their encore, the singer dedicated Autobiography to Dominic Mallary of Last Lights. This was very touching, and I am very grateful for him doing so.... For the Boston kids in the crowd and anyone else who knew Dom, this meant a lot.

Great setlist, how was Tomorrow I'll Be You? From what I've heard they can't always get that song right live.

sick set. can't wait for the new album.

[a morning view]

i can't believe they played standing on the edge of summer. you lucky fucks.

[desiguerilla]

dear hunter played like 4 songs total, one was the new song, one was the procession, one was church and the dime and i dont remember the other one, i met casey during the thursday set and he apologized to my friend for not playin red hands haha

the sleeping was fun

yo who else thought when thursday came out to like that 50s friendship song whatever and then right into at this velocity was one of the sickest things ever, and when they busted out standing on the edge of summer my jaw dropped, that was currently like my favorite thursday song too, the only way this set list wouldve been better was if they had cross out the eyes or counting 5431 but other than that, thursday live is one the sickest live shows ever, especially at toads place

Fuckin' sweetass thursdizzle set. How is Friends In The Armed Forces?

[futurebreed]

Yeah I think I mixed up the number of new songs The Sleeping and The Dear Hunter played.... 'cause The Dear Hunter's set was definitely way short.

Friends In The Armed Forces was great. I like it better than that song they have on Myspace right now.

Tomorrow I'll Be You was pretty good live. Definitely better than I imagined it being because I had heard about a lot of complaints with their live version of that. They definitely pulled it off better than I think most people have experienced.

standing on the edge of summer and autobiography of a nation? are you kidding me! Throw in Paris In Flames and that set would be perfection!

[kemichels]

What a great fucking lineup.

[ACA]

Wow wish I decided to go.

[Petzl]

I am so ridiculously jealous of everyone who got to go to this. I came home a day too late from school to go...it looks like it was awesome. Thanks for the awesome pics FutureBreed, you're awesome!

[arson]

gahhhh, i can't wait to see Thursday on TOC!

[SandManTEND13]

ahh what a line up, and what a set list from Thursday

I still need to fucking see them! and I cant go to TOC

oh well

[stayillogical]

Amazing night.

The Dear Hunter played two new songs, one of which is in the video Casey made recently. The other three were The Procession, Where The Road Parts, and The Church And The Dime. It was 5 songs total, supposed to be 6 but they cut one because of the delay.

Moving Mountains was fantastic, wish I could see them in Cambridge but it's the same day as Anberlin in Providence. Also, I think Geoff dedicated Jet Black New Year to Dom, I might be wrong, but whatever. That was sweet. I took two videos of the new Thursday songs, I'll have them uploaded by tomorrow and I'll post here.

Last thing, who else laughed hard when The Thong Song came on as soon as Thursday was done? I know I sang a verse or two, lolz.

[Cuddleworthy]

damn that's a sweet thursday set, probably better than the two times i've seen them. was moving mountains really good?

my friend saw them in NYC and said they weren't great...not sure whether to see them or city and colour on the 11th in cambridge.

[anamericangod]

What a fucking great set. I really really hope they keep Standing On The Edge Of Summer on there.

I wanna see these guys so bad now.
