Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 217

Thought it was pretty cool that the ticket came with a download of the album

Although since I have Spotify I only vaguely know what albums I own digitally these days

 

wait....how do i get the album if i got a ticket??

 

I got an email from Ticketmaster with the headline "IMPORTANT: Your Manchester Orchestra Ticket Order"

 

Me too :(

 

If you want to fly to Tampa tomorrow. I'll pay for your ticket to the show. Just probably....fly out before the hurricane.

 

im so mad i spent any length of time looking for a download for this

 

Heard a clip of the silence and damn it sounded incredible

 

@BoldTitan did they play as a 4 piece?

 

Can't believe they played The Maze. If they play it in the UK I won't cope. Definite favourite from this album and maybe top 5 overall.

 

This was my fifth time seeing them and it was the best set I've seen them put on by far. I was glad that they kind of went with such an unpredictable setlist (some good Simple Math picks).
I loved when they messed up The Alien at first and had to pick up from the transition leading out from the previous song.
I loved that they performed The Alien-->The Sunshine-->The Grocery.
I love that they included their two best closers; one to close out their main set, and one to close out the encore.
I loved that they played I Can Feel a Hot One...first time I've been that lucky.
I did NOT like the people talking at top volume up near the bar who could be heard anytime the band went quieter.
But, regardless, it was still a great night.

 

Also, they had a keyboard/piano player with them, so they performed as a five piece. Don't know the specifics on their permanent or temporary role with the band, but the dudes presence was definitely felt on the songs that called for his skills.

 

Best song of the set for me. I can barely breathe is always great though.

 

Andy P really stepped up for me also, much more engaged versus when I saw them on the Cope tour, dude was flawless. Andy and Tim both took a huge step forward.

 

Weird that I wanted them to play the mistake. I think that song has really grown on me, might be in my top 5 now.

 

Listened to this album this morning before work instead of brand new and am very happy with my decision. Such a phenomenal record

 

Anybody got that clip of The Silence?

 

its on instagram

 

For those who were there...how long was the live version of The Silence? Did they extend it at all? Shorten it up?

Thought it may replace Where Have You Been in sets, since they normally extend that out live with jam sessions to about 8-10 minutes. Figured they wouldn't play them both live since The Silence is already a longer song has potential for major jam session.

 

Also did I count 17 songs, that's great pushing them out of their 14-15 headlining comfort range

 

I've seen them six times, but only twice as a true headliner and those two times were 20 songs and 17 songs. (Other was a co-headliner - 13 songs and three other times were opening for Brand New). Saw Bad Books headline at 17 songs too.

 

I'd say at this point, with 5 albums, they should be pushing around 20 songs. However, a lot of their songs are longer, which is probably why it's at the 17-18 mark. Wouldn't be surprised if they add a song or two along the tour.

 

I think a Lead, SD or Wolf would fit in nice

 

But really can't go wrong with either one of those. 2 fantastic records

 

Any pics of the march table? Any tour exclusive stuff?
