Motion City Soundtrack Band • Page 89

Really upset because before they broke up I had tickets to a show to see them for the first time and got sick and missed it. When they announced their comeback I bought tickets ASAP. The show was Monday and on que I got wicked sick again and ended up missing the show.

 

That is horrendous luck.

I always thought these guys were one of the few bands from the pop-punk scene that actually sounded just as good live as on record.

 

They're incredible live!

 

Forgot a fun detail - at the Cleveland show, one of the openers announced that it was Justin’s 10-year sobriety date. Justin definitely sang “Even if it Kills Me” with more conviction than any of the other songs they played.

 

My favourite song of all time!

 

that's awesome! oh man, does anyone know if that's been a staple in the set? I would go nuts if I got to hear that. one of my favorite songs to blast in the car and belt out

 

It is! They’ve played it every night so far.

 

Probably my favorite song of the night actually

 

“Even if it Kills Me” should be played at every MCS. Their best song and one of the best ever written honestly.

 

Pulp Fiction is one of their best songs

 

I particularly love the alternate/acoustic version.

 

The Weakends is my top under appreciated MCS song. The 1-2 ending of Skin and Bones into that is unbelievably good.

 

I really want to get that alternate version of CTTM that supposedly exists.

 

Which one is that?

 

i have been waiting for it for years

 

youtube "motion city soundtrack reunion" if i'm not mistaken it's the audio they used for that 0:57 clip but i could be wrong. they apparently recorded an alternate version of the whole album

 

It's IATM. They were playing songs from it over the PA on the CTTM tour.

 

I really wish I had thought to record some of it just during the breaks, although I’m sure the audio would have been terrible. The versions were so good.

 

what?

 

I’m jacked up about the show tonight.

 

There were re-imagined versions of I Am The Movie songs they did years ago. They played a handful of songs over the PA during the set changes/post-show music on the Commit This To Memory tour, but the songs have not been released.

 

Was it similar to this show?

 

oh, i thought justin said on a podcast it was CTTM. no idea why they would re-record IATM

 

Have fun! Mine is Wednesday and I’m just constantly going through their discography and watching all the stuff the band keeps posting to Instagram.

 

I hope they release some of these alt versions/bsides someday.
