They played that new song and it was amazing!

 

Yea, I recorded part of it! Was super cool

 

Such a joke. Some guy asked after I got my group's wristbands if he could borrow my phone for $60 to walk up and get a wristband since the process required nothing but a quick flash of your AXS ticket from the app. I said no since I didn't want to screw someone else over, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else eventually said yes to the guy.

Also, the security was dangerously pathetic. No pat downs or putting items in trays to go through a metal detector. Just scanned our tickets and then didn't say anything about GA wristbands so we had to eventually figure that out via a nice bartender.

 

Out of all of my pics I got a weirdly alright Phoebe one

Also snagged an Angel shirt because fuck yea

 

I had guaranteed as well and was wondering what would happen once they'd inevitably run out of GA wrist bands from the only stand I saw. Had no idea there was a separate section, and many others with guaranteed likely didn't as well. I wonder if that impacted the floor's capacity because there was a bunch of extra guaranteed GA wrist bands since people just went to the first come first serve line.

 

Has Melina been touring with them or was that just for a few shows?

 

As far as I can tell she's the bassist for the whole tour!

 

Justin was there last night!

 

Oh so that was true

All the girls around me were freaking out trying to take pics of someone off to my side a bit, and I thought I heard the name Justin but I wasn't sure lol

 

I expected the live show to be good, but they were even better than expected. The vocal harmonies were phenomenal. Every song sounds great live - as much as I’ve knocked the album for half being boring in comparison to the singles, there wasn’t a dud in the set last night. Also just to follow up on the earlier, Melina is the guitarist/multi instrumentalist for the whole tour, not the bassist it turns out though she did play most of the bass on the album.

Reset show was great overall, really never seen a 4 band where I legitimately know and really like every band that much.

also probably worth saying I’ve heard so much about how bad the bg crowds or particularly Phoebe crowds are with screaming like it’s the Beatles at Shea Stadium but that just wasn’t the case at all. Could hear a pin drop on the quiet songs. (Good) loud singalongs for most others but really no crazy fanchild behavior.

 

yeah im really regretting not making it to see one of these shows

 

I had an extra ticket for tomorrow but sold it, too late Murph

 

lmao slow ass murph

 

got me good

 

how did this not make the cut

 

So, I don’t think I can swing Columbus after all. I want to, but it doesn’t make sense financially. So, I have two tickets to sell. I’d like what I paid ($200 for both of them), but I’d cut a deal for someone in here. Let me know.

 

Wow, Boyfriends is so damn good. Would've been the album highlight for sure.

 

“local opener” “literal men that they are parodying”

please be satire

 

All merch is gone at the show currently except the EP haha

 

The line at the Forest Hills show for the main merch spot was insanity, I got lucky and got in earlier before the line got massive but it went on and on and onnnnnnn after me

 

Same with the line in Boston. One of my friends was trying to buy the hoodie, and legit every size she asked for was sold out

 

Lucy had a concussion and played most of tonight sitting down with sunglasses on. Still crushed it on her songs. I wonder if it’s from getting tackled by phoebe last night lol

 

they were legit wrestling last night so I wouldn’t be surprised lol
