Pinegrove - Montclair - Live at the Wellmont Theater

[@lilajane99]

I experience real emotional pain reckoning with the possibility that I might never see them live. No other music has ever made me feel and think this deeply.

[@peaceloveandtruth8576]

theyll be back

[@ManutdRob]

This has been me the past couple months I got into them too late i hope they do come back 🤞

Occasionally, you're fortunate enough to stumble upon artists that offset the discomfort of your most diificult moments. Pinegrove are one of those artists. Thank you.

[@BuckeyesFan487]

Same here. Sucks that the drummer left

[@lf2334]

@@BuckeyesFan487 The good news is drummers are probably the easiest replacements. I don't believe he contributed towards the writing of the music anyway. I'm guessing they can just plug someone else in and you won't notice the difference.

[@BuckeyesFan487]

@@lf2334 the difference is that Evan (The singer) and Zack (The drummer) are the only two core members of the band. Without Zack, Pinegrove isn’t the same

[@lf2334]

@@BuckeyesFan487 I feel like that's an assumption you're making unless you're one of the other band members? Technically, you're right. I'm not sure where you're getting the info that the band isn't the same musically without him though.

[@mattfrostii1114]

anyone from montclair will understand, driving to mills or eagle rock every night of summer and screaming Angelina really makes up some of the best moments of my life and makes me proud to have grown up where i did. pinegrove connects me to home like no other band ever will

[@starlesscoaster]

I've watched this countless times now and that lapsteel solo and little licks throughout on light on is cry inducingly beautiful.

[@Andrewtimoni]

Darkness and Rings from this show are some of this band's best work.

[@samnejberger5546]

When I was getting into Pinegrove, these two never stuck with me. Hearing them live in this concert, they seriously bring tears to my eyes.

[@camrongray3406]

They where so into it

[@tophm2634]

Damn they really blew up. When I saw them 7 years ago it was like 20 of us lol.

[@taylorh4480]

seven years is a long time to build a fan base

[@orangelazarus91]

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard/seen a modern rock band take flight like this. I was starting to think this kinda magic was a thing of the past. This feels like finding the pixie dust again.

Yep love that song

[@dancedancedance9107]

I'll Miss You Forever.

[@PatxiLab]

Aphasia has been my favorite song ever since I heard it when I was 16 years old. I’m 23 now, and hearing everyone screaming my favorite piece of music made me cry my eyes out. One day, I hope to see this live ❤🩵

[@peterbowman2058]

I met my wife in 2020 amidst the pandemic. Even though we lived across state bounds… I drove every weekend just to see her until we got married. Each and every trip.. an hour and a half there and back I was pulled to listen to Pinegrove specifically. Y’all are cemented in my psyche forever and every listen reminds me of my soulmate. Thank you Pinegrove.

[@mattcook7853]

This band never released a bad song, let alone a bad album. It may have been short, but boy was it sweet!

[@zmongi1]

I don't think we've heard the last from Pinegrove. Levine left the band, but I think that Evan is planning to continue at some point in the future.

[@charliervr]

@@zmongi1 I think it's way too silly to take a break right when you are blowing up. These guys could do a whole American tour and sell it out fast.

[@taylorh4480]

@@charliervryou take a break when you need to. and the band wasn't "blowing up". they barely broke even their entire career and they made their masterpiece (and most expensive record, "Marigold") and then Covid hit and they couldn't tour to support it and lost their ass on the album. they own the label more for that album and "11:11" (which didn't fair as well in sales even with touring) than most bands could hope to recoup in 5 or 6 years. so making another album adding to that debt would have been a dumb financial decision. that plus Evan wanted to get his degree and he's not getting any younger, the time was right to take a break and reset. do other stuff they all love, start families, etc. touring is a hard life. and for a band of introverts even harder. I'm glad they stopped for awhile. hopefully they'll be creatively driven to make another record one day. and if not, what they left behind is beautiful

[@charliervr]

@@taylorh4480 Yeah, bet it wasn't an easy choice at all. Being a man in your late 20's-mid thirties with no safety net regarding your livelihood is a helluva cross to burden. I think them struggling is why a lot of us are able to connect so easily with their music.

[@DavidGarcíaMartín-j5d]

Can't explain why but this music and lyrics move me so fucking much. This is greatness.

[@glenkellett492]

Man, I played that CC kit a couple times! Thanks Zach! Thanks Another Michael for believing in me. Best tour I’ve ever been a part of. Professionals through and through. Terrific tour 2019

[@Botchla_]

You make me wish I was from your town. You have something special for sure

[@tehSUNMAN]

I discovered this band a couple of years ago and they have slowly become one of my favorites. It will be one of my biggest regrets not seeing them live when I had the chance. I really hope they perform again so I can experience this magic live.

[@starelle.7]

rings will never fail to make me cry. im so grateful for this band.

[@jon8304]

I’ll be honest, Peeling Off the Bark is usually a pretty middle of the road song for me, but this performance slaps. Damn

Christ… Doesn’t get any better than this. Sad that they won’t be touring for a while but super glad I saw them live. There aren’t many bands that are actually better live than their recorded material but these are/were definitely one.

[@kristinhess2280]

All great artists sound better live.

[@kristinhess2280]

You have to consider the evolution of a song, as well. In the studio, a song is really only in it's juvenile form. It's been written, tweaked, practiced, but it has yet to be performed live. To mature, to develop, to evolve into something closer to it's true potential, it has to be performed. So, a studio version of a track is really like a rough draft. Good artists, good songs, they always reach a sophistication with age. I can't think of a single artist that guides my life whose sound I prefer better in the studio.

[@BiLkesCS]

@@kristinhess2280 I can definitely think of some artists that I prefer in the studio, but the common trait between them is that usually live performances can sometimes lack some of the fullness that a studio version provides. But majority of my favorite artists absolute peak is live on a stage.

[@SinnetSongs]

What about a song that has been played and toured on a bunch?@@kristinhess2280

[@Kilby72]

I was blessed to be at this show, for my birthday!! A life changing experience.

[@xwhoopax]

Wow... this was filmed on my first birthday without my dad. I found Pinegrove in the last few months with my dad around. Pinegrove is definitely one of the bands i listened to after his passing. It got me through a lot of the emotions I was dealing with at the time. On long drives I take alone, making my way out to the mountains or forest to spend a few days in the fresh air, away from the city, I can't help but cry a little bit when I am surrounded by the beauty of nature and thoughts of my dad. I am glad to have caught Pinegrove in Los Angeles at one of the last shows. Thank you for filming this performance. Thank you for everything.

[@BlakeHemmel]

So sorry about your loss. I’m lost my dad in February of 2020 and I remember marigold really helped me through that era. It’s amazing how healing music can be.

[@jameshamann465]

I also lost my father recently (2022). Seeing the Pinedads on stage made me cry ugly tears. I miss my dad. He will always be a part of me. Seeing the love of other fathers makes me feel close to him again.

[@saiynshh]

It’s just so emotional for me to visit Pinegrove again and again. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a chance to see PG live because of my little town and little country and how the situation is now. But it’s always so wholesome to see live videos of them and the Pinenuts having a blast. Like everyone else, Pinegrove has saved my life over and over and I’ll forever be grateful for that. Recently met a guy who also likes Pinegrove as much as I do. Though now we’re half the world apart, four days of spending time with him, listening and having a Pinegrove carpool with him was sooooo much fun. So thank you for everything. You always, always bring joy to my, or our, lives.

[@soyeljefe8502]

Probably my only regret in this concert was not bringing Nandi rose out for Angelina. The KZbin video of their harmony on that is my favorite. Love everything this band does.
