My kids and everyone else who is curious about being a kid in the 80’s it truly was a golden era for a kid 😎cuz I was a kid once

[@johngump5004]

Well said.

Damn! I been looking for Golden Gate footage on and off for 2 years and it was right here the entire time. Thank you for getting it lol. Allegedly the only performance

[@johngump5004]

@mehgend3914 Glad you found it. Had to list in description because I didn't have enough room on the video description. I'll have more new shows from them in October. Take care.

Great hearing Golden Gate live!

[@bendover9663]

Wow thanks for this, hearing Prom Night live for the first time, I like the little edit they did taking out the middle section but yeah they've never done that song live to my knowledge....

[@Scribbby]

Yo that Explorers mix with Kids is sooo good!! Finally!! They've put Prom Night in their setlist, it's about damn TIME!! Always wanted the crowd to singalong to that last bit "(Oh, oh-oh-oh)." And they got Golden Gate too!! My favourite track from the new album, but why they gotta kill the drop tho? That's like the best part!

[@johngump5004]

Agreed. Before the show, I asked why earlier in March at a show Tyler told someone that yelled Explorers that he wished he had time to explain why it doesn't work live. They said they needed the right 5th member to do it and they were doing it that night. I was thrilled. Eventually I'll get the 6 VIP sessions from this year posted. Lots of interesting info from Tim and Tyler and the acoustic soundchecks were fantastic.

@@johngump5004 I envy you, being able to see them 6 times in a year.

Nice save Tyler at 11:03!

And later on 🤭

[@zaalde5671]

Thx for video.. I really want to see them LIVE one day..

[@johngump5004]

You're welcome. You have to catch them live. The videos don't do the energy in the venue justice. I have two more of their shows on my channel and three more coming soon.

The addition of the guitarist has been great. I never caught his name though.

I love the Midnight but I'm going to be a little critical of their live performance because I CAN. Been a pro musician for 35 years. Tyler has some work to do vocally - he's come a long way , but is still pitchy in spots. The Midnight has also come a long way regarding the Live drum sound. Sounds WAY better. I wish they weren't a 90% track band - but with this kind of music I can understand it. Well done Midnight for creating music many of us enjoy.

[@bryanshively967]

Agree with some of your points but they are not a “90%” track band. Respectfully have you actually heard them live? I’ve seen them three times before the live drums and lead guitarist and after and they sound huge now. Gone are the tracked drums that Tim played along with prior and a lot of tracks. The addition of their lead guitarist/keyboardist kills it technically and his tone is awesome. Tyler needs some work still but his strength is his songwriting and lyricism, they’re a one in a million band in those categories.

[@bendover9663]

100 % agree i love them but personally live isn't a big strong point for them though they have improved, I've often thought maybe this has what's held them back from being a massive mainstream act but then again not every mainstream act is amazing live 🤷🏻‍♂️ anyway i agree with most of your points....

[@samirasamasmat2503]

@@bryanshively967 I agree , I'm a fan - just hoping Tyler keeps wotking at it.

@@bryanshively967 hum, maybe not 90%. My bet is 70%.
