Portland AP posters just went up:

Blink-182 Portland Posters

 

They're using the same stage in the stadiums, but it's not rotating 360 like in the arenas.

 

it did rotate in the stadium in San Diego haha. Tom was like “but everyone is over there!”

 

Right, it might rotate a little, but not a full 360. Still a lot of angles to cover in a baseball park.

 

Tonight’s poster looks absolutely incredible hoping the Fenway one as good and I can get it via eBay.

 

I have no idea if the same guy is doing Fenway that did tonight's, but he did the Petco Park poster as well so maybe he was commissioned to do all the baseball stadiums? If so, it looks like he has the Petco ones on his site and it's not sold out so i'm hoping he'll do a similar run for tonight/Fenway.

 

Yeah there’s no way I’m getting to Fenway early enough to get a poster so I’m hoping the eBay route (not getting hammered on the resale) or DMing the artist directly is my best bet on getting one.

 

About 45 min til Blink goes on in NY right? Do we think the setlist is gonna be the same as the rest of the tour? Any additions or removals?

my bet is it will all stay the same

 

I’m here now. They start in 5. The standard posters are out of 1000 which was a nice surprise and they still have them, so you should be in luck @TheJMan

 

Obvious returns

 

The poster artists usually put up a run of AP editions sometime after the show too. I posted the Portland one earlier today..

 

I see they’re still playing that new unreleased song, damn haha

Was hoping it or something would be switched out with Turpentine.

But it’s cool, Fenway show is close!

 

Show was great, nothing out of left field. Obvious, M&Ms were the two deep cuts.

 

This not being on any merch is an all-time fumble.

 

Just got home, they absolutely crushed it. The week off did Toms voice good. They absolutely can command a stadium, everyone was going nuts. Everyone in my section screamed the “no one gave a fuck that you died” line too.

Also the show poster was so sick I had to buy it. Ended up getting the trucker hat too. I think this is the first time in 10 years I bought merch at a show lol

 

And a quick rant….i paid a lot of money for my seats which were 4th row in front of first base. We get there and the foul ball netting was still up! Fucked up the whole view. And it didn’t say anywhere on the ticket that it would be limited view. We ended up standing in the wheel chair row the next section over.

 

Okay, just got home.

My girlfriend had a remark that this tour is so similar to the last but without any of the frills (no blow ups, interesting Travis set up in the air, confetti.) I don’t have the heart to tell her every Blink tour is like this. Same songs (for the most part).

They played well but probably my least favorite Blink set in a while.

 

11 of the 26 songs they’re playing on this tour are either new or they haven’t played in a long time. Nearly half the set!

 

I get it. To my girlfriends point, “why do they call it the one more time tour and play 5 songs off the album”

 

I will say the production last year was WAY better than this year, but I also feel like the different venue types (ie arenas, stadiums, etc) contributed to that a bit. Some of the "theatrics" from the reunion tour would definitely not work in some of these (larger) venues.

That said, performance was just as good/better cause we got more OMT songs that just Edging, so a win/win imo

 

People on Reddit thinking there was tension last night between Mark and Tom smh. I was there and they seemed absolutely fine.

 

I still can’t get over how many people were there last night. Nice to be around 40,000 other people enjoying the same thing.

 

Is this not the normal for like …. any new album?

They played 6 songs off the album and technically 7 if you count the new one.

 

Was there last night and Friday for Foo Fighters. I’m a spoiled brat and was in GA both nights but commented to my friend that it was absurd that netting was up. Means like 50% or more of the stadium has limited view.

 

Agree with everyone that they were great last night. Probably the best I've seen them (and I've seen them since the late 90's). On a negative note, Pierce The Veil was a terrible choice for an opener, really didn't fit the vibe at all.
