Blink-182 / Lil Wayne / Neck Deep Tour • Page 24

My show is finally tonight. This is the smallest venue on the tour, I believe (5500 cap) so it should be a good one. Just hope the work day goes by quick!

 

Is lil wayne gone now?

 

No

 

hope not, wayne killed it in NJ. Hoping to see him again in september at the BK show

 

Lil. Wayne. Is. In.

 

Just got back from the Houston show. I honestly hadn't planned on going at all but after an expensive impulse buy this morning, I ended up going and I'm glad I did.

I went early to see Lil Wayne because I paid a shit ton for a ticket and wanted my money's worth but he was amazing. I really enjoyed his set and he was very appreciative of the crowd. He looked like he was having a blast.

I was right in front of Travis' drums which was absolutely amazing and a different view than I've previously had for any blink show. Lots of fun! During ATST the guy they chose played bass instead of guitar and he killed it! Houston rapper, Bun B also came out during their set and played a quick song with Travis.

I'm glad I caved and anyone on the fence should really go.

 

Austin show was a blast and super packed. Lots of people left after enema * I miss you though and lots didn’t know the deep enema cuts at all.

 

It's funny you said that about people not knowing the deep cuts. I saw Blink at Warped Tour and while I was obsessed with Blink 182 growing up, I was wondering how many people from a festival crowd would know all of the songs or appreciate getting a whole album played live

 

It’s weird but I think to a majority of people they weren’t aware that enema was getting played in full or it wasn’t a super big selling point for them. The people i went with, who are very casual fans, actually complained about the setlist and the lack of rock show, feeling this, always, etc.

It’s a bummer they shortened the set and removed cynical, feeling this, and whatever else. The second set felt more like an encore. Also i’m In the super huge minority but I wish they played up all night to rep neighborhoods.

 

Yeah thankfully we got all of the hits plus enema. I hope it was a good show for you regardless

 

It was the same way for the Houston show too

 

Oh yeah I had a blast. Wild that I listen to enema maybe once every few years and I still knew every word / live vocal inflections for the songs.

 

Never seen a show die as quickly as when they changed over to the acoustic portion and then back to the drum solo. So awkward and killed any momentum Enema had built. Didn't help that no one knew Wasting Time. Just dead for like 20 minutes

 

Drum solo seems to be the highlight 9
Of the evening for a lot of the casual / Weezy fans though.

Wasting time was awesome (and better acoustic) but it was definitely an odd choice.

 

Despite this I think it's very cool that they're clearly doing something special for the long time fans.

 

Had a great time! It was 115f out today but dropped to 90s and got really stromy so that was refreshing. Neck Deep was great! Mark came out during December which was fun! Blink killed it of course.

 

I went last night to the LA show and it was a good time. Blink had a few guests that night, including Alex Gaskarth on vocals for going away to college, Lil Wayne on what's my age again, Josh Dunn taking over the drums on Mutt. Even Jason from Fever 333 came out and did Hunting Season (one of Fever's songs) although everyone looked real confused during that, however I enjoyed a nice surprise. Now, Lil Wayne's set was fun. The crowd loved him and he was having a blast on stage. I was able to get there in time for Neck Deep. A lot of people knew them and it was real annoying to watch a set of theirs and not mosh since there were seats on the floor. Many dates got a pit added and I was disappointed that they didn't do that here. They sounded great though and I was still able to enjoy them. Overall, great show. The second part of the tour resumes in a few weeks and I would recommend going. I'm even thinking about going to the Irvine show that is at the end of the month.

 

Does anyone remember what the set times are for this show? The PVRIS show's curfew is at 9:30 and I'm trying to see if there's time to get to blink before it wraps up.

 

In Austin Wayne went on a little after 8, and blink went on at 9:15 I think

 

Alright, it sounds like my gf and I might last-minute pull the trigger on some Irvine tickets tomorrow. What’s the usual set time for Blink this tour? My last class tomorrow gets out at 7:50 and it’ll take me 30 or so minutes to get to the venue. And idc if I miss Wayne

 

One post above yours haha.

 

Oops
