[@TheThirdChild]

He never said the album was bad, 6 is a good rating. It reminds me of an album like The Wall, it has some great moments but is too bloated with stuff that shouldn't be there (too many detours). Would've been much better off cutting the album down to half its length in both cases

Hey Melon! I Was at the New Haven concert on the 27th that you were at! There were some rumors that you were coming to the concert because they heard that you were in the area from some concertgoers. I wasn't close to you (I think you were in the second row of the floor from what I heard), because I was in the mosh. It became confirmed when you posted the pic on your snapchat (I saw it on the subreddit). There was actually some guys going around looking for you, I thought you were in the balcony, but that turned out to be false. I still can't believe you didn't stay to meet the band after the show, they came out 20 minutes or so after the show and met the fans. I think it would've been pretty cool if you showed up, and even cooler if Stu or one of them recognized you. Anyway, it's super cool that we were at the same show!

Great mixed crowd as well! Set ended with Am I In Heaven? medley, and towards the end since the stage was on a sandy beach close to the sea, Stu proclaimed he wants to be throw into the ocean (actually the mediterrean sea :P), so he stage dived and we carried him and threw him in :D Such an epic day, I was reborn after it, or MAYBE...

I saw them the day of their ITRN album release in Portland and managed to see them again in Chicago a week later! You’re definitely correct about the mix between ages and generations of people going to their shows. It was a pretty amazing thing to witness! Now I want to go to gizzfest

Seeing them in Dallas next Friday. SO excited!

saw them last year and the crowd had the most manic wild energy ive ever seen, the whole front was in constant moshing motion and it felt like a psychedelic hell

They played the title track of MOTU in Milwaukee and a tech goof meant the text-to-speech didn't play, so it was just an instrumental version of the song. My first thought was how happy fant would be

when i saw them in seattle they played muder of the universe and had han-tyumi talking the whole time with subtitles on screen. it was fucking awesome

Saw them last night at Summerstage (Central Park NYC). Great show and I completely agree with all of your comments. Looking at the footage from your show, I would say the outdoor setting really enhanced the set as it gave it more of a festival feel. I have never seen them live before but looking at some of the performances like the KEXP ones on youtube I would say that they are just laid back. I would love to see them again but the dates don't work for me this tour. Next time around for sure.
