The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever (Sept 23rd 2022) Album • Page 130

Makes me sad that Hoodie Weather is a wheel song.

 

I’m pretty sure every time I’ve seen them play it, Dan has introduced with something along the lines of “we always get requests for this then crowd looks bored when we play it, so you better go hard for it this time.”

 

My favourite Wonder Years song.

 

The best band. What a show.

 

Looking at Friday set I think that definitely won compared to Thursday. Shout out to the crowd bullying them into throwing the wheel choice out and playing Fruit Punched instead.

 

Yea I’m happy I went Friday. They did a good job of switching the regular songs for the first half of the set too for those that went both nights. I was a bit surprised they played Geraldine and Threadbare both nights. Glad they swapped Keystone/Fruit launch for Threadbare. People were not into Raining in Kyoto and Orange Grove but those are two of my favorites. Soupy’s voice seemed pretty shot by the last few songs. He mentioned he had surgery 10 days ago. So that pretty nuts to do 50 songs in two days.

Crowd was pretty rough but I wound up dead center. There were a few people who clearly had too much to drink or were using. They were like Weekend at Bernie’s and just kept falling over. We couldn’t keep up with crowd surfers. Let me say crowd surfing dudes in their 40s is tough. Unfortunately one girl fell pretty hard a bit over from me and they stopped Funeral. Hope she’s okay. Band looked shaken when it happened.

It sounds like we may see a 20 year tour next year. I’m wondering if will be a “eras” tour with a few from each album. Though he said no Fruit Punch for 10 years. I think that’s fair.

 

The video I saw of "Fruit Punched" on the FB group looked like the stillest TWY crowd I've ever seen — might have been the angle though.

I love that they keep bringing back Mike Kelly for the GSOI songs, but the only thing from that album I ever actually want to hear live again is "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong."

 

Yea the pit and up front was having a good time but otherwise I’m sure it was dead. Doing those outside of Philly would be a mistake.

Upsides/Suburbia/TGG songs always go off best. Even Teenage Parents seemed to get. A good reaction.

 

Would have killed for Raining in Kyoto

 

HEAD ABOVE WATER THIS YEAR, BOYS
