Ahhhh, they were so incredible tonight

melb night two setlist:

 

Also, I lost my mind when Fleet Foxes played A Shrine / An Argument. What an unexpected surprise after not appearing on earlier sets!

 

...shit you did get the better set. Humiliation into Rachael sounds insane

we did get Shrine/Argument on Tuesday though! so good

 

Extended version of Humiliation too - it was nuts! Night one set also looked excellent

 

Perth last night got all of High Violet and then a whole second set, I'm insanely jealous. they even got Abel

 

Never been jealous of Perth before in my life!

 

been listening to the Paul albums a lot since the gig. they didn't even play it but I've been obsessed with Grease in Your Hair, absolute heater that I unfairly overlooked

 

They sounded so great last night in Toronto!

I've seen them a few times now and last night Matt said "this tour is probably the most fun we've ever had". Funny, because before he had actually said that I was THINKING it.

The gang is smiling the whole set and just having a total ball up there. You absolutely love to see it. I can't wait to see them again for years and years.

 

Seeing them tonight in skibidi Ohio

 

Okay the show was great but 4 songs from Frankenstein and ZERO from laugh track is NOT OKAY WITH ME

 

Fuck, fine, I'll buy it. Surprised I don't have a Cherry Tree email about it.

Oh, it's coming

 

This might be the best live recording they've released.

 

I have all these songs live many times over by virtue of having gotten cherry tree over the past 6 years, and I’m not as into this band as i once was. That said, an Italian flag national record is pretty funny.

 

Ah but fuck that version of lemonworld is so sick.

 

The 3xLP is in the CT members store but links out to a 404 error page at the moment. Its red, green, and white vinyl.

 

Drove up to Madison last night for the tour. That was the worst crowd I've been in for a show in some time. No one sang along, danced, anything in GA. Pit seemed to be a bit more active from what I could see but it was lame as fuck.
