Brand New / The Front Bottoms / Modern Baseball Tour • Page 21

Tomorrow will be my 9th time seeing them, and the third time in the last 15 months so that's why my excitement already isn't sky high just because I've seen them a lot recently.

Really looking forward to The Front Bottoms though because I haven't seen them since last summer (2015).

 

A 90 minute arena set is weak. Good thing I like both openers otherwise I would be much more frustrated.

 

But they played for an hour and 50 minutes at glens falls..

 

I have a GA ticket for sale for the Bryce Jordan Center date (November 12th). Message me if interested. Price is face value plus fees.

 

Did the last two shows start st 7:00 or 7:30?

 

Obviously I hope for a 7 song "other" set, but 17 songs isn't exactly unreasonable, especially considering the length of some of Brand New's songs and if they extend them out.

The real crime here is that there's no guarantee Modern Baseball plays Hiding.

 

Mobo at 7:30 but they went on a few minutes early

 

What's it's like seeing mobo at these size venues?

 

Interesting their sound doesn't fit it too well to be honest, too much reverb for them lol

 

I was actually going to ask the same about The Front Bottoms. I've seen The Front Bottoms four times. Twice in bigger venues as openers and it was somewhat underwhelming, but the shows I've seen them headline in smaller venues the shows are bonkers.

I felt the sound at the bigger venues didn't suit them as well.

 

I picked this show @ $50 over Boston Manor opening for a bunch of bands I don't know for $10. I'm excited but I absolutely love Boston Manor's new album so I hope I don't regret it.

 

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have two GA tickets for the Grand Rapids show?

 

TONIGHT!!!!

 

I've seen a few posts recently on the Facebook event page. Might be a good place to start.

 

Looking forward to it!

I'm probably going to get there right around 7...unfortunately I can't make it there any earlier. Hoping I don't miss any (or much) or Modern Baseball, but it is what it is.

Also really hoping for a longer Brand New set of non-TDAG songs. 5 songs seems too short to me. I'm hoping for I Am A Nightmare, Mene, one of the demos and a mix of Deja/Daisy songs. I'm guessing we'll get IAAN and some Deja songs though like the past few shows.

I'd also like them to start with TDAG but it looks like they've only done that once, so that seems unlikely.

On a side note, I listened to the most recent Encore podcast last night and one of the episode sponsors was The Sound and the Story podcast. Not sure if you guys are familiar with it or not (I had heard of it before, but never checked it out) but the most recent episode of that podcast is about TDAG. I listened on my drive in to work this morning and I thought it was pretty enjoyable. I thought the timing worked out pretty well since I'm seeing that album tonight!

 

Can't wait!

 

Lol, after all of that I now have an extra floor ticket for tonight. If anyone's interested or knows anyone. $50!

 

Haha, probably have a good chance of selling it in that FB event page.

 

Already posted it. Haha. And on Reditt and Craigslist. It's so annoying, man. Lol

 

Going tomorrow, couldn't be more excited!

 

I'll have a green Pablo Tour shirt on, black pants and a black Supreme hat. If you see me say what's up. Lol.

 

From the Wolstein Center Twitter feed:

Brand New Fans! If you have General Admission Floor Tickets - Please Note your Entrance is GATE B located at Carnegie and East 21st.

 

Really hoping we get Soco for the Halloween show. I've had the pleasure of seeing it before, but unfortunately for my wife, the 2 times I've taken her to see Brand New she's gotten Play Crack the Sky in place of Soco and I know she'd love to see it live. Also hoping Mene makes its way back into the set. I love that song live, such good energy.

 

Yeah, I've never seen Soco either, so I would like if they subbed it in.

 

I've seen Soco twice. Both times in Pittsburgh (2011 and 2015). I like it as a closer much more than Play Crack the Sky.
