Swans // The Beggar / Howard Theater / Washington, DC / 4.12.24

[@slanderbob415]

Saw them in Richmond VA on the 14th and it was an amazing show. Pretty much the same set of controlled arrangements and spastic improv. Ears still ringing two days later.

[@Horsey304]

You are goated for recording this whole song. This show was so memorable, from gira stopping the mosh pit and getting angry, it was so lit

[@MortonGoldthwait]

St. Louisan here. I saw the show at Delmar Hall and he got pissed as well. Mainly at Chris for apparently fucking up and people texting.

[@AndyCarvin]

My ears are still ringing; that was one hell of a show

[@Starless-and-Bible-Black]

Verified

[@Starless-and-Bible-Black]

I was there. It went crazy

[@crystal.machinery]

Christopher was in tears by the middle of the Beggar because Michael was so grumpy

[@unclephilthecarltonbunch4089]

Poor Kristof looked shaken after getting a verbal thrashing from Gira and puffed one up to cope

[@crystal.machinery]

@@unclephilthecarltonbunch4089 The first few shows on a leg are always a little tense.

[@unclephilthecarltonbunch4089]

You could feel wind breezing up against you, that was how fucking loud it got, glad I wore earplugs because good god was that a magnificent force of volume!

[@gekinatracksuit9710]

I saw them recently as well I never knew it was actually possible to be pushed by SOUND WAVES until I heard them live micheal really saw that one scene from back to the future and thought "oh yeah, we're on to something"

[@coolti44]

Recommend eargasms for this one. Wish I had them for My Bloody Valentine. Another SUPER loud show

[@jnarayan11]

Going to the show in Atlanta on Thursday. So stoked!!

[@tristanlewis2150]

see you there!

[@azombiestool]

I'll be there!!!!

[@azombiestool]

Man, I went to their website around the 1st of the year and they have an area where you can put in a request for them to play your city. I put in Atlanta and three months later I saw an ad for them to play Atlanta

[@synthmalicious7541]

When does he yell about the mosh pit?

[@mauro3724]

He was seated, just stood up came closer to the public and told them to stop that. He didn't yelled on the mic

[@unclephilthecarltonbunch4089]

He did it during the Hanging Man and afterwards in a very calm and amused manner said not to do it

[@joubertrouret2769]

Neither of you actually managed to answer his question amazing​@@unclephilthecarltonbunch4089

[@juda4568]

​@@hidden7249Really? WOW Will it be on the new album? If this is done it will be a divine carnival

[@wavybonez183]

@@juda4568 This was on the last album, it's "The Beggar"

[@juda4568]

​@@wavybonez183 oh thanks, I guess it's a modified version for the concert, Michael likes to do that. and in that case a live album wouldn't be bad.

[@echoradiata]

​@juda4568 a live album is coming
