Taking Back Sunday - 152 (October 27, 2023) Album • Page 101

I loved seeing Straylight Run live.

 

that's cool! they were between FYS and bayside so that was a lull at my show, plus it was at a college venue in central, IL but it was worth the drive, hung out with FYS Josh before he left the band and we drove to a gamestop and got food haha! feels like a lifetime ago now.

 

that is a bummer, now that i think about it i haven't seen them since prior to the pandemic, 2019 closed out my decade of TBS shows, i saw them yearly sometimes multiple times from 09-2019. i would love to hear new songs live but the last few summer tours were expensive, the one with third eye blind and the one with citizen, they wanted 50-90 dollars for decent seats by me, fuck that ahah ive seen them so much that's not worth it for me. so i havent seen any 152 songs live but that sucks people ruin it, i fucking love lightbringer, what else do they play off the new album?

 

When I saw them they play S’Old, Amphetamine Smiles, The One, Lightbringer, and Keep Going.

 

that's solid. no new music friday? that's my favorite off that album!

 

They play about half the new album. The one, amphetamine smiles, sold, keep going, lightbringer, and during the summer they switched a couple of times between quit trying and the stranger. The crowds I was in really seemed to enjoy the one (maybe not singing along, but there was a lot of head bopping) and S’old with that “little more your love” part. I get that a lot of people are there for the older songs, but I think the band could stand to lose a louder now song or two from the setlist.

 

yah i got tired of hearing ghost and error operator all the times i saw them, but they go hard when the crowd gets into it, including myself heh but yah new again and self-titled always got the shaft, it would just be flicker fade or gardens off happiness in, and then the bangers off tidal wave, and then half the set was TAYF/WYWTB. the set became very predictable, but they toured a lot and it was always easy to find someone to go with to see them, that's how i ended up seeing them over 30 times, same with NFG, they just play here a lot and 2019 and back the shows were always 30-40 bucks. cant beat that for a night of nostalgia imo.

 

They played Quit Trying as well when I saw them.

 

Yeah i wish they had it on the setlist when I saw them this summer. It’s my favorite off the album too, but they played all the aforementioned songs plus Quit Trying, so not a bad batch of 152 songs by any means
