Spectrum IV Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 You know what this tour needed? BALLOONS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Only with Bliss. Balloons with any other song is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I always liked the balloons for PiB, it made the song look more fun and all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIPfP-bliss&t=2m43s Funny enough the URL has the world "bliss" in it so clearly God thinks I'm wrong. EDIT: Is it just me or are the ampersands getting replaced with pound signs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 God I'd be happy if the only theatrics they use are hullaballoons next tour. Maybe the festival screens in arenas but no more conceptual nonsense, especially if it's like the tower/pyramid. Nine Inch Nails did it right with the Tension tour and so did Radiohead with In Rainbows/TKoL tours. I prefer them to the towers/1984 stadium thing/pyramid/power station from what I've seen. Also please lower the goddamn stage or move the barrier back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Pyramid wasn't conceptual nonsense, it made for a great-looking stage without giving them an excuse not to rotate songs. No negative sides to it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Are we talking the Resistance Tour pyramid or T2L pyramid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Oh, I was assuming he meant the T2L one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No negative sides to it imo. It was a great looking stage but I wish they'd focus on innovating the usual band on stage + screens in the back setup. The pyramid was overly extravagant to the point where it isn't practical, for seats and floor people. There's a lot of improvement and innovation to be had with the usual stage setup rather than working with weird shapes. Don't get me wrong, it definitely had a wow-factor but I've been amazed with less in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The T2L pyramid had potential but I don't really think said potential was fulfilled. Some songs had awesome visuals. Falling Down looked epic when it started to build up towards the end. Follow Me was pure eye sex. And of course that Freedom outro. But then there was some real shit too. UD, with the tiniest part of the pyramid showing Matt in the crowd. Getting rid of the epic old SS visuals. Playing that same fucking Uprising video every single night. GL couldn't be saved even with its eye candy. Makes me wonder why they got rid of the confetti... I'm guessing they were worried people would eat it.

kueller Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I thought Uprising was great, and I generally liked the bright red and blue stuff. Yeah every night same video but assuming not everyone watched it over and over. With you on Stockholm though. The old one had so much flashing and intensity it fit really well whereas the TV screens weren't as great. New Born also should've kept the R/L visuals.

Dee3Dee Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 New Born also should've kept the R/L visuals. This is true for all Origin songs. Those visuals were badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberCitizen Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Take out Animals & US and Matt may as well have said "Hey Brisbane, you suck!" on that goddamn megaphone. It's the built up excitement from the previous gigs that must have made it particularly cruel for those who attended... Like, Perth got Hyper Music, Adelaide got Bliss, and Melbourne got Fury + CE -- making Brisbane remarkably anti climactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zomuse Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 How wasn't it practical? I loved the pyramid but it did make for rather fractured visuals for 90% of the audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc Queen Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Worst gig of the Tour: Loreley. Nah, you're forgetting that location had the best sound of all locations ever. Amphi theatre much Setlist wise, yes, it was bad. But - Coachella weekend 2 says hi. - exactly. I always loved KOC as a closer Survival was good too, and Starlight...too weak to close. Final encore group, yes, but not closer, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm still not convinced a longer setlist would have made Coachella any better. Brisbane has my vote on biggest let down, at least. The Minnesota gig was really short, but I'm starting to think that's got something to do with the venue, because it happens often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well yeah; smaller venue size means less songs can be fit into the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
