Manchester Orchestra / fun tour

[lbopm]

is fun playing full band this time around? does anyone know?

[JimmyIymmiJ]

I'm pretty sure they are because Steel Train doesn't have any dates scheduled during that time, but I really don't have any news or confirmation to say that's accurate.

[thechrisformat]

Jack won't be on tour with fun.

It'll be Nate and Andrew plus Rob (guitarist from the Jack's tour), a new bassist and drummer, and Jess (who plays guitar, keyboard, and "has the voice of an angel" - who I'm going to most likely fall in love with).

[lbopm]

that's interesting Jack won't be on tour, but it's great to hear it's full band. the newsletter said we might "In the process maybe we'll play a couple of other songs you might have heard from years past." I hope they pull out some format.

[-ben]

I'm really stoked on this tour. Everyone definitely needs to check out Winston Audio if you haven't.

[JimmyIymmiJ]

Cool. Is Jack ever going to tour with them, or is he just gonna be in the studio. I love Steel Train, but it would be cool to see all of fun. together.

[S9Dallasoz]

I'm really stoked on this tour. Everyone definitely needs to check out Winston Audio if you haven't.

& Audrye sessions while you're at it.

& Audrye sessions while you're at it.

true

[nlcentralchamps]

& Audrye sessions while you're at it.
Seconded. I was listening to their album in the car this weekend and forget all the time how much I love it.

[MattDennis]

anyone have a set list yet?

[TSLROCKS]

Anyone have an extra ticket to the NYC show?

[thechrisformat]

anyone have a set list yet?

I'm assuming no one has a set-list because the tour hasn't started yet...

[MattDennis]

I'm assuming no one has a set-list because the tour hasn't started yet...

Oh, well that makes sense.
All I knew that it was coming to Boston like next week...so I had no idea if it had started up yet.

NewBers;41279492']Would you happen to know why Fun isn't playing in Chicago, you seem to know alot about the band.

No idea. Nate loves Chicago too, so, it must be a pretty good reason, I'd imagine.

[SgtSmegma]

Looks like someone beat me to the set list. fun covered "The First Single" and "Snails", which was pretty cool. Andy pwned some douchebag who tried to mosh during "Shake It Out". Also, Andy started playing" I Can Feel a Hot One" and then stopped because he forgot how to play it. This made me sad. Also, the lack of "Where Have You Been?" was a bit dissapointing. Other than that, fantastic show.

ps: the Wilco song they covered was "Bob Dylan's Beard" Also, the ?'s alluded to in the above set list just seemed to be little vignettes that weren't and will never be actual MO songs. For instance, one of them concluded with the words, "fuck my life.com"

[nlcentralchamps]

Colly strings. Sweeeet. Can't wait to see this twice in June.

Also glad to see how many songs they played. Hope they keep that up.

[stupidtyonparad]

see, thats the kind fo set list they should be playing, a good mix of songs. im a happy panda after seeing that

[kaskomm09]

Is it confirmed they aren't playing Chicago? I've seen it on and off of the Fun tour lists, though they aren't listed on the venue site.

[thechrisformat]

Like I said, I don't know... I'd guess that if they're not on the venue's show list or not on fun.'s tour dates, that they're not playing.

Do you know how many/which fun. songs were played?

I know they played those 2 Format covers, and I'm pretty sure they ended their set with the new "Take Your Time (Coming Home)" song, but other than that, I'd imagine the set list looks the same as the Jack's tour?

[Thomas Balkcom]

will be in Athens tonight for this

[juliab3291]

between the first single and colly strings, i will be dying of happiness at this show.

I know they opened with "Benson Hedges," played "At Least I'm Not as Sad as I Used To Be" and finished with "Take Your Time." They played those two Format covers as well and played three other songs that I had not heard before.

Anyone have a rough estimate of how long MO are playing for each night?

[AtlanticRadio]

a)Andy pwned some douchebag who tried to mosh during "Shake It Out".
b) Also, the lack of "Where Have You Been?" was a bit dissapointing. Other than that, fantastic show.
c) Also, the ?'s alluded to in the above set list just seemed to be little vignettes that weren't and will never be actual MO songs. For instance, one of them concluded with the words, "fuck my life.com"

a) What did he say? He's really clever.
b) That sucks they aren't playing WHYB, but they've gotta be so freaking sick of it. I hope MO fans don't turn into douche Thrice fans and scream out old songs the entire freaking show.
c) Did he play his 50 cent song as one of those?

[thechrisformat]

Anyone have a rough estimate of how long MO are playing for each night?

I've heard 1.5 hours.

c) Did he play his 50 cent song as one of those?

A) he added a verse to "shake it out" in which he talked about how rude/lame it was

B) true, although I saw them 2 years ago it still would have been nice to see. I'd have also liked to see "I can feel a hot one". Other than that, their setlist was almost flawless

C) I don't believe so, but I'm not too familiar with 50 Cent's catalogue

a) haha that's awesome. He's a genius.

b) I concur dr.

c) It's not a 50 cent song actually, it's an acoustic number that he wrote about 50 cent. I think it's on youtube somewhere. Pretty funny from what I remember.

q) fuck multiquote this is better.

[stayillogical]

Damn, I've never seen MO. Would be nice to see Where Have You Been.

[Thomas Balkcom]

I've heard 1.5 hours.

this was exactly how long they played last night,

10:55 - 12:25

[Thomas Balkcom]

the set list for MO was a bit different too, the middle was about the same but there were some slight differences

[nlcentralchamps]

An hour and a half? That's awesome.

Did anyone get a set list from the athens show?

It was this without 100 Dollars and the Wilco cover, and switch Everything to Nothing and The Only One (The Only One transitioned straight into The River)

oh and no Badges (unless it was an encore, I waited about ten minutes but it was late and I had to get back to Atlanta)

I've seen them about 6 or 7 times now and this was one of the most energetic, if the not THE most energetic performances I have seen them put on. Where have you been probably clocked in at around 8 or 9 minutes in length was awe-inspiring. Andy seemed to be having a great time (except for his interactions with one drunk douche) but he took it in stride and made the crowd laugh about it quite a few times.

The openers were both very good as well. I really recommend this tour to anyone who has the time to go to it.

At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used to Be)

Thank you, my good man.

[MattDennis]

Ottobar set looks good, but I hope the one posted from the Nasville show is more like what they do at the Boston show. A 60/40 ratio between new and old material would be perfect.

[dang]

anybody here go to the show in richmond? MO was good, but the crowd was the lamest i've ever seen. the place was maybe half full and nobody moved the entire show. very disappointing. andy and the rest of the guys actually made fun of themselves/the crowd at how lame it was, and there were really no "awesome" moments like wordz reported

[itsmesean0630]

I really hope they play I Can Feel A Hot One. That song is amazing on so many levels. Any idea when fun./Manchester has been going on? Probably gonna go late tonight.

[katiebobatie]

Went last night at Ottobar... amazinggg show. Had never heard Audrye Sessions before last night and they were incredible live.

if they play @ the SF show, I'll be there.

Even though the Baltimore set seemed very small MO still ended up playing almost an hour and a half. This was probably the best I have ever seen them. I've never heard the Ottobar as quite as when Andy played Sleeper 1972.

these setlists are amazing. i'll have one saturday night.

The show was amazing despite the fact that I am adamantly against the cover as a closer and I am also not a big Paul Simon fan. I was hoping for One Hundred Dollars and I Can Feel A Hot One as an encore, that would have been perfect. Granted, I know that was never gonna happen seeing as they haven't played it at all so far this tour. Also, Where have you been was so amazing though it didn't even seem like ten minutes.

I agree. HE introduced Kevin Devine to ME (in person I mean)

[SammyJankis]

Just got back from the new york show, greatest performance I have ever seen.
Manchester's set was pretty much the philly one that was posted, the cover had the lyrics in heaven repeated, I'm not sure what it was also they played Me and Julio earlier in the set. No badges, no 100 dollars - Also someone requested The Neighborhood is Bleeding and Andy said they've never played that song live - they recorded it live but they have forgotten how to play it (just what he said, I'm not saying it wasn't a joke who knows)

The extended version of where have you been is amazing - adds the lyrics Don't kill yourself to raise the dead you'll only end up joining them which I am sure is homage to Kevin Devine because they've toured with him at the end of this song Andy threw his guitar into the drumset and walked off.

I waited until security told me to leave, there was no encore nor did they have setlists - but I got a drumstick?

I did get Fun's setlist and they played Snails which was great:

At Least I'm Not
I Wanna Be The One
Pretty Girls
Snails
First Single
Walking The Dog
Benson Hedges
Take Your Time

An amazing show. The song with heaven is called "Anne Louise". It's not a cover song, it's a b-side on their EP Fourteen Years of Excellence. Someone shouted for it, he smiled and started playing. Audrye Sessions played the shit out of the last song entitled "Nothing Pure Can Stay" I recommend everyone checking them out. And see a bright future for fun, including my summer album of 2009. It sounds great. Winston Audio was also really good, they played this slow song Reaction/Action which was amazing. Overall Manchester stole the show, phenomenal performers and one of the best shows I've been to in a long time.

[RuckerPark]

damn, i'm hoping to hear the fmylife.com song or their cover of don't speak.

[tbwbhos]

Colly Strings needs to be back on the setlist.

[live.]

so is MO not playing I Can Feel A Hot One?

Doesn't seem like it. As much as I would have wanted to hear that last night, the crowd would have ruined it.

[bonnerroo]

I went to the NYC show a few days ago--I really enjoyed Winston Audio. Audrye Sessions was probably my least favorite set of the night but their last song was awesome. Fun was, well, fun--and Manchester, as noted on here a million times already, was excellent. It was so cool to hear the whole crowd singing along, especially in providing vocals for "Where Have You Been."

Colly Strings needs to be back on the setlist.

Agreed. Is there a reason they don't seem to play it anymore?

I need Colly Strings and I Can Feel A Hot One tomorrow night. If Andy can't remember how to play Hot One, I'll teach him.

[amour faux]

Alice and Interiors please! i'll be there next friday at Subt.

[MattDennis]

Slightly bummed they played mostly old songs at the Boston show but didn't play Where Have You Been or Colly Strings, but I was glad that out of them they did Golden Ticket...it's my favorite off that album.

[stayillogical]

no where have you been...kinda sad :(.

I grabbed a set list and everything on it is out of order and Where Have You Been is on it. It's weird. Like they're messing with those of us that bother to ask for one. Hah.

[stupidtyonparad]

man oh man oh man rochester show was so sick.

first thing first setlist (i scored one, its weird, theres two sides to it, ones the actual set and one is really abbreviated)
-pride
-shake it out
-ive got friends
-in my teeth (black man on the set)
-against the law (andy cover, not on set)
-now that you're home
-sleeper 1972
------
-wolves
-golden ticket
-song i didnt know, not on the set, the hook was 'i had known the accent, im just part of the plan, whats the plan?'
-i can barely breathe (end of the world on the set)
------
-marcus
-HOLLAND 1945!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-everything to nothing
-some jokes told, they messed aroudn with playing 'closing time' for a few seconds
-where have you been (with some kdev lyrics splashed in at the end)
-me and julio (andy solo)

few notes. andy has packed ona few pounds and his beard is out of control. the second band was reallllllly good. fun..well. they suck as far as im concerned. it was manchester's other guitarist (name escapes me)'s birthday, so all of fun bumrushed him in skimpy underwear during where have you been. the band killed it, the crowd was one of the best ive ever been a part of except the girls giving me dirty looks while singing along to 1945 (apparnetly they didnt know the song?). i wonder if the bass player is into it though, he just kinda chills while the rest of the band rocks out

also, they had every manchester vinyl release for sale including the wolves 7" and virgin, i picked em both up, couldnt believe they were there

sick sick show.

[amour faux]

sounds like an awesome setlist! how much were the vinyls?

[stupidtyonparad]

do you mean the vinyl?

virgin-
the 7"s-
mean everything-

andy was wearing sandles also, kinda funny
and drinking molson, the world's greatest beer

EDIT: i erased the prices cause if you cant proparly make the word vinyl plural, you have no buisness buying any.

you can try again tomorrow if you'd like. haha

I really, really hope they play where have you been at one of them, at least.


Maybe even both of them, that song and the way they do it, it just, it is exactly what Andy says it is, a religious expierence.

sick sick show.

Audrye Sessions? :-)

[SteveLikesMusic]

Rochester was fun. Yes Audrye sessions seemed amazing, i only cought their last song though. I couldn't believe the turnout for the show...it was originally supposed to be in the smaller venue in the same building, it must have got moved because of the ticket sales. I thought Fun was amazing also. Stupidity, did you hear those louuuuud dudes constantly yelling for Where have you been the whole show? I was right in front of them, they were hilarious haha

[mckennaxfaith]

The amount of disrespect some of the people showed was unbelievable. And the 'moshing' was ridiculous. I wish Andy would have said something. I was smack middle, front on the rail and I was getting crushed.

And the last song Andy sung by himself, with the streamers round his mouth was actually Broom People.
Audrye and Winston all did amazing and I got to chill with all of Manchester and Winston after everyone had left.

Complaining about being crushed when you're front row? Apparently you don't go to many shows. It comes with the territory.

Exactly. Nothing is worse than the people in the front door complaining about all the people getting all up in their bidness. If you didn't figure that a band that plays edgy rock music's fans weren't going to mosh and act unruly, you shouldn't be standing at the front of thousands of them.

there was minimal moshing at all, there was some dancing and mild shoving but to the point that it was by far the most enjoyable concert of that style ive ever been to as far as the crowd was concerned

Absolutely. I'm not for people acting like assholes at a show, but you have to understand, if you're going to stand in the front, you're probably going to wind up getting hit by SOMEONE. Really, it's just common sense.

That setlist is fucking golden.

There were a few songs I would've liked to hear that I didn't. It was really similar to the last tour. They digressed from the actual setlist though, the one I posted is what they played. We actually got more than we should've.

Manchester should just play everything. And I agree, fun was not terribly impressive. Winston was good, Audrye was un fucking believable.

I don't think it's right that the possibly of getting smashed, or injured in any way "comes with the territory" of trying to enjoy a concert that you paid to see. It's all about the music, not acting like idiots.

no. cause unless youve never been to a concert before....or its an elton john concert, then you need to expect that kinda thing to happen, its just how concerts work

Audrye Sessions? :-)

Their set was incredible. Ever since I reviewed their EP I've fallen in love with his voice, and to hear it live really capped it off.

[TMS2787]

cotton crush? thats sick as shit
That was a nice surprise, the setlist was pretty typical besides that. It was fourteen or fiffteen songs total, I got a setlist from the stage but it is so out of order.

holy fucking epic. I hope someone recorded all 15 minutes of that.
Don't expect it, but it was cool because the band left the stage and Andy stayed on stag, playing a few chords and improved which ran it to about the fiffteen minute mark.

[-ben]

They're not playing "I Can Feel a Hot One"? This news discourages me.

that's exactly why they're not playing it

Went to the show in Pontiac Mi last night. Half the crowd left after Fun played and Man O played to a half filled building. That depressed me for them as Man O was fantastic. Andy sings with so much passion.Great show all around, though I thought Fun was the least impressive.

I would've stayed for ManOrc if I didn't have an AP exam this morning, if that helps at all.

Fun was incredible, setlist was:
Benson Hedges
Pretty Girls
I Wanna be the One
Snails
The First Single
Walking the Dog
At Least I'm Not as Sad as I Used to Be
Take Your Time

Yea WHYB was the last song, it was mixed with another song at the end not sure where it's from, but it was pretty epic around 10 min long

mixed usually with either Colour Revolt or KDev, but awesome man! Thanks!

did they do the crazy 10+ minute WHYB? as well?

[looksthatkillbn]

in columbus he played sleeper and the ten minute whyb finished the encore

[sodamnclever]

So I finally got around to reading what you guys have said about the past shows, I am so sad I won't be there tomorrow.

[yoyostring]

when i saw him play sleeper at bowery ballroom, the place was completely silent while he sang, fucking woetastic.

[Russellmcdoogle]

Cincinnati/Covington show was long and great. Every band was sweet. Ended with a song I didn't know about a blond girl who rides harley davidsons with her hair blowing into the wind. Anyone know it?

[S9Dallasoz]

I still can't get into their album at all, but their live set is absolutely stunning. Be in front for it.

Also, their singer Ryan is an incredibly nice dude.

Please, get Braille it's just a better version of the new album.
They actually have the good album versions of "The Paper Face" & "Nothing Pure Can Stay", as well as "Porcelain" which is a solid upbeat track.

[Back_in_Anger]

Tomorrow, this show is happening. So, I was drunk last night and went to a record store and they were playing The Format. I got all excited and started talking to the clerk about the MO/fun show. She knew what I was talking about and was going. Hooray for drunken musical excitement.

[amour faux]

no Where Have You Been at Chicago, even though the crowd was pretty into them. no moshing or shoving or any incidents to report. either way, good show. Andy looked to be having a good time.

Naturally

[stupidtyonparad]

is it just me or does john not seem to enjoy himself on stage (bass player) at all? at my show he basically just stood there the whole show

I was completely amazed with Audrye Sessions when they played in Pontiac. Easily one of the best opening bands I've seen. Also, what was the name of the last song they performed?

[S9Dallasoz]

They close with "Nothing Pure Can Stay" which absolutely brings down the house. In SF they play it with even more instruments (trombone, cello, some others) and it's crazy.

[Zieb]

So Manchester was supposed to play until 11:30 tonight and they stopped at 11 and didn't even do an encore song... I was extremely let down *sigh*. I was also really hoping they would cover Hollad 1945 too :(. Audrye Sessions did blow me away though and um Fun... seriously? They seem like some musical band that could write musicals for veggie tales... I felt like I was at church camp or something. Probably one of the worst bands I've ever had to suffer standing through.

[amour faux]

i think that's how he is off stage too. out of all in Manchester Orchestra, he was the only one who wasn't responsive to people talking to him when he was walking around.

[stupidtyonparad]

i feel thats kinda lame, i wonder if hes really into it

Yeah, I was disappointed, too. All of a sudden he closed with "The Only One" (solo), said thanks and left. Very abrupt ending. Whatever, it was still fucking awesome. They straight up tore through the setlist and rocked faces off. Good stuff. Also, I love fun. Nate owns the place when he's on stage. Their songs are pop-sugar-goodness and catchy as fuck. They do sound like a band writing songs for musicals at times (last night he was talking about Bob Fosse, a Broadway choreographer, so I'm sure there' some influence from musicals.) With that being said, I can see how some people would hate fun. Overall, great show, great tour.

[Driven]

Winston Audio- Played a solid set, the crowd wasn't really moving any, but was still attentive. I enjoyed them quite a bit.
Songs played (Not in order):
- Smoke Signal
- Devil's Bed
- Hey Ann
- On My Trail
- Action/reaction
There was 1 or two more that I can't remember, I really enjoyed them though.

Audrye Sessions- I haven't really enjoyed their record so far, but their live performance was great. Anyone going to this tour HAS to be there for their closing song. SUCH an amazing closer.
I don't really remember many of the songs they played, but they opened with Turn Me Off and closed with Nothing Pure Can Stay.

fun.- Solid set, Nate made it a really fun time. Not my genre of music really, but they still put on a great show and it seemed like the crowd loved it.

Manchester- Really rocked the set that they played. Good mix of old and new songs, and the crowd was really into it. No covers or anything, and I was really disappointed that they ended it so suddenly. No encore or anything.
Setlist (Not all in order)
- Pride
- Shake It Out
- I've Got Friends
- Golden Ticket
- My Friend Marcus
- Wolves At Night
- Now That You're Home
- Sleeper 1972
- In My Teeth
- Everything To Nothing
- The River
- I Can Barely Breathe
- The Only One (Hull Solo)
A pretty solid set of only Manchester songs, really disappointed we didn't get Holland 1945 or a Cotton Crush cover now after reading the other sets. Still a good time regardless. Great tour.

[Dastly]

Can't wait for the early June show in Orlando.

[mena]

They close with "Nothing Pure Can Stay" which absolutely brings down the house. In SF they play it with even more instruments (trombone, cello, some others) and it's crazy.
I bought their CD after the show, but I wasn't sure if the song was on it since all the additional instruments made is sound a bit different live. Chris from MO did some vocals during their set and it was spectacular.

[JimmyIymmiJ]

Can't wait for the early June show in Orlando.

Same here. I'll be at the one on the 3rd and at the St. Pete show the night before.

[patpratt]

they played last night in st. paul. they sounded great, but IMO, the new songs do not sounds as good live. they didnt say a single word to the crowd nor did they play an encore. getting really annoyed of andy and his ego.

during the rock out of where have you been, he screams

my friend got it all, i'll post it as soon as she puts it up.

every song i sing has already been sung
every note i write has already been swung

Someone needs to get a good recording of Nothing Pure Can Stay by Audrye Sessions.

[SwedishHeat]

Got back early from the SF show tonight. Audrye Sessions were impressive. Fun was. . .well, they had a good name, music was much more engergetic and happy than The Format. Manchester. . . disappointing. I left after Shake It Out, their second song. Seems like they just wanted to play loud. It didn't help that the guy behind me's hair kept whipping me, that was annoying as shit. Their music was just too godamm loud, and I can handle some stuff, but it was just like they were playing fast and loud and screaming lyrics, maybe they were all just drunk or something. Not what I was expecting at all. I was very impressed with their performances on Letterman, and that was YouTube quality. Kinda weird when a band sounds better on YouTube than they do live in person.

sorry they don't play pop music. they play rock, which is why they invented the volume knob that goes up to eleven.

this band has way too big of an ego.

[guruofrock]

I saw the set list that they had on stage, cause they gave it to the girl next to me after the show, and it had Pride at the top. That's definitely the closest I've ever been to a band. I thought about it after the show, and could have easily sabotaged that show by knocking over the keyboard, playing Andy's guitar, and singing into the mic. All were close enough.

So pissed they skipped Pride, though. Would have destroyed my mind.

Who cares, Where Have You Been did the trick anyways.

and FUCK anyone who thinks this band's got ego problems.

oh shut up

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

Got back early from the SF show tonight. Audrye Sessions were impressive. Fun was. . .well, they had a good name, music was much more engergetic and happy than The Format. Manchester. . . disappointing. I left after Shake It Out, their second song. Seems like they just wanted to play loud. It didn't help that the guy behind me's hair kept whipping me, that was annoying as shit. Their music was just too godamm loud, and I can handle some stuff, but it was just like they were playing fast and loud and screaming lyrics, maybe they were all just drunk or something. Not what I was expecting at all. I was very impressed with their performances on Letterman, and that was YouTube quality. Kinda weird when a band sounds better on YouTube than they do live in person.

excuse me dear friend - how do you know manchester orchestra were "disappointing"? you left AFTER THE SECOND SONG.

:rolleyes:

For whoever loves fun. but either didn't buy merch or couldn't see them on this tour: they have their current tour merch available in their online merch store here: http://hellomerch.com/shop/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=25&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=57

:)

...I posted this here because they haven't been posting my news on the main page lately. So, sorry for no setlists in this post.
thanks, didn't have enough cash to get stuff from them

Clearly he has magical skills that allow him to experience the concert while driving home in his car and thinking about making useless posts.

[patpratt]

oh shut up

nah man i'm serious.

I was under the impression that they were, for lack of a better term, more technically savvy. I don't know much about them, but from the way people talk about them, I just assumed they put on a very tight live act. What I saw was very sloppy and loud. It seemed like each band member was in their own zone playing their own instrument, not really performing as a band. Usually bands don't get better the further they get into their set, at least not that I've ever seen.

And granted, the dude that was behind me was pissing me off, so I was pretty annoyed to start off with.

[Bruised26]

nah man i'm serious.

thats fine but you dont need to keep reiterating your opinion. you have said it atleast twice.

[patpratt]

have you guys heard of this band manchester orchestra?

they are getting some rather large egos!

Doesn't mean I'm not a fan of the band though.

Why do you think they have large egos? I have not seen anything from any of the band members to suggest that.

That was probably me with the set list. I felt a little sad they didn't play Pride but 15+ minutes of Where Have You Been made up for any forgotten songs.

[mydefpony]

anyone get the set list for the troubadour show.. they played a cover of a song ive never heard.. they also covered me and julio and also a song that didnt sound like a cover cuz no one sang to it and i figured no ones ever heard it..

[XchrisX]

Depending on what source? I'm not trying to be a dick, I appreciate your help, just want to know if that's definitive info.

[shawnb213]

Just got home from the Birmingham show.. It was awesome. I don't remember the set officially but it was a good one, and included Andy playing Holland 1945. He played like three other covers too, I don't know what they were though. But yeah, great show. fun was awesome as well.

[fenderrock89]

Wish I would have went to this tour

[NorthstarPark]

I went to the Houston date on the 28th of May and almost passed out during "Where Have You Been?" because of dehydration, after the show was over and I went outside it felt like winter for a few minutes. All the bands killed it live, I wasnt bored for a second at the show. Probably one of my favorite shows ever. Well the last few MO songs I wasnt really into it because I was recovering from dehydration, thank god my brother bought me so water or else I would of collapse, but other than that it was amazement.

[chelseatine]

I went to the show in Oxford Mississippi last saturday and I was highly disappointed. I have seen them a good dozen times, and this defiantly marked their worst performance. Additionally, the set list was also disappointing... they didn't play very long, only one song was played off of anything other than the new album (which I was glad to see was well received), and not even an encore. It was quite a disappointment.

[fromoc2dc]

during the rock out of where have you been, he screams

my friend got it all, i'll post it as soon as she puts it up.

every song i sing has already been sung
every note i write has already been swung
everyone i knew somehow is gone
every time i pray, i know you're wrong...you're wrong...come on.

or something to that extent

Andy did the same thing at the LA show, and I was looking for a video of it and came across this video of what looks like from your show. Is it your friend's by any chance?

It starts around 4:45

I hung out with all five guys from Manchester after their show in Pittsburgh at the beginning of May and they are some of the nicest, most genuine dudes around. Andy was a bit drunk, but he was still really cool with everybody. Just leaning against a wall with my buddy smoking a cigarette talking about cops. Me Chris and Jay talked about touring, movies, different venues and the likes of. They're all really sweet guys. Robert was running around with a fake moustache taped to his face. I'm pretty sure Jeremiah passed out in the van, but I helped him tear down and he was really cool, but really overwhelmed by people. I think they're just the opposite of what everyone seems to be saying. One kid goes (to Jer) "You're the reason I bought a drumkit" and Jer goes "Oh man, I'm really sorry about that" haha. They've been touring non-stop since last year. Just keep that in mind. If you just talk to them, they're really great guys.

[alexxxisonfire]

Set for 6/3 in Orlando:
Black Man





"In My Teeth" in case anyone is wondering, though if you've heard the song you probably would recognize this.

[alexxxisonfire]

6/2 - State Theatre - St. Pete, FL

Shake It Out
Now That You're Home
I've Got Friends
Pride
In My Teeth ("Black Man" on the set list)
100 Dollars (not on the set list)
Wolves at Night
Golden Ticket
A new (?) song that had lyrics that went something like "I want to sing like the girl from No Doubt" (the irony behind this being that No Doubt was playing with Paramore across town in Tampa that same night. A part of me really wanted to go to that, but tickets were too expensive)
I Can Barely Breathe ("End of the World" on the set list)
Where Have You Been? (extended, with Andy playing drums at the end.. very cool)
Badges and Badges (Andy introduced it as "Badges? We Don't Need No Stinking Badges")
My Friend Marcus
Mean Everything to Nothing
The River
The Only One (Andy Solo, he asked the lights to be completely off, it was kinda cool)

It may be out of order a little, I don't remember where they played 100 Dollars/Badges/the song about No Doubt.

Phenomenal show. I thought Winston Audio was pretty good. Audrye Sessions were neat, especially their last song. I didn't ever care for The Format so fun. just bored me. Sorry to any Format purists out there.

[twitchyfingers]

I just got back from the second night in Orlando, it was great. I enjoyed it more than yesterday, but both days were amazing.


I liked that Andy brought the laptop on stage to watch the game, haha.

[deadatbirth]

they also played the Wilco cover and a 238 cover, great show. I saw them play earlier at park ave where they recorded the set and all the songs were acoustic/very stripped down and this was their set from that:

the only one
everything to nothing
the river
shake it out
i've got friends
bananas(new song)
sleeper 1972
tony the tiger
238 cover
