Read my review of the show here.

This makes up for not getting a ticket. Thanks so much Alex.

I'm bummed I missed this show so thank you for this.

My pleasure!

This is awesome!

Super awesome, thanks.

Stoked to watch this.

Alex - You are the man! Thanks for making today THAT MUCH BETTER!

For some reason Matt looks like Kevin from the League from far away. haha.

So the rumors ARE true....

fuck yes, wish I coulda gone. Thanks for this!

fuck me this is phenomenal. shoulda gone into debt for that plane ticket to NYC at NYE.

What rumors?

This is sweet. The Starting Line is timeless!

Holy shit, i know what i'm doing for an hour

Thanks so much for this!

That you're a legend!

hahah well played!

Cheesy but had to be done. You seemed a little worried at first... Lol

At first I thought you were going to make a joke about pleasuring them because I said "my pleasure" haha. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Awesome to watch this since none of the shows came out here. They sounded spot on.

Thanks Alex! Has anyone made this an mp3 yet?

Naw not my thing. Haha

Love the keys being added to these oldies

Alex, I'm lazy and don't wanna look, but is Underoath coming through there on their last tour?

Thanks fro posting.


I saw them play in Detroit and I posted this before how they just plowed through their set with very little interaction. This is polar opposite of how they interacted with the Detroit fans and IMO Detroit fans were more into the show than these folks in Boston. Maybe knowing they were being filmed helped?

The first date was in MA and I missed it :-( Venue has a strict no-video policy though.

They didn't know about the filming until after. (I was originally going to shoot photos.) But they said we were the loudest crowd of the tour, so maybe that helped invigorate them. ;-)

Double damn. I'm not able to make the Dallas show tonight and was hoping for a good quality recording of a set from the tour at some point

that reading of the review was priceless.

Hell yes. Thanks so much for filming and uploading this, Alex. The Starting Line is my favorite band, and I was unable to attend any of the dates this short tour offered. As many times as I saw them live while they were active, and the amount of times I've watched the live DVD, I'm still super excited to have a quality recording of one of these shows.

Here's to hoping for a BOATS tour! ;-)

YESSSSS!!!!!

Flew out to the last date of the tour in Philly from Denver.

Definitely a performance I will remember for the rest of my life!

starting line played a show on NYE in new york?

After watching most of the video I was kinda thinking the same thing. I was at the Detroit show too and thought the crowd was much more hyper. Either way, they ruled in Detroit and they sound just as amazing in this video.

Fucking awesome!

This is pretty sweet.

yesssss
 

Do you have any plans to film any upcoming shows? Your videos rule man

Funny you say that, if you watch the video they teased about possibly playing BOATS in it's entirety as the encore. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed.

Thanks! Hopefully the Letlive/Harvard tour and the Acoustic Basement tour. I keep a running tab of shows here, although sometimes it's full sets, sometimes select songs and sometimes photos.
You can also subscribe on YouTube.

The palladium needs to change this. I want to re-live too many shows from there.

For real. They're insanely strict about it. I had a tour laminate at one show and they said even the band members aren't allowed to film.

The whole scene of music will never again be the way it was when this album first came out.

SO WONDERFUL! I am sooooo very thankful I got to listen to these guys and grow up with them. Thank you.

I love SILYMI, but "Are You Alone?" still is my favorite song on their set.

Fucking hell I feel old.

so good

Love your videos of these shows, reminds me of The Early November reunion one. Can't wait to watch the whole thing!

That was excellent footage.

Fun fact: this is the same venue, one day shy of being exactly a year later.
