So, it isn't really even Chiodos, it's Craig with a hired band, and he's not even really singing for over 95% of the set. He's lip syncing. He didn't do all of All's well, he did Undertakers + Termacare + a reduced set of some of the songs off of All's Well. The sound guys struggled with actually turning on his mic when he wanted to talk, it was honestly such a mess and upsetting after the fact, but in the moment when you can't see it clearly from the crowd and you're jumping around and singing / screaming every word, it was a blast... 😅
