Claudia O Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 It‘s a bit strange, I just watched a video of Pib at the gig tonight, it‘s still so much daylight! Seems strange with the videowall, or the lights in general, or Matt with his glasses. Maybe they should start later? Depends on the country, I know.

Seen a few comments about that but most places have a curfew of 10:30-11:00 so if they started later it’d just mean shorter shows. Daylight for part of the set just comes with the territory of playing stadium shows during the peak of summer. 1
kueller Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 It's unfortunate cause I've not liked the look of the daylight shows for this setup. 2

Claudia O Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Not very wise to do such a show in stadiums in summer then. Anyway, it‘s a great show, and I was lucky and happy to have enjoyed it indoors 😊 Edited June 30, 2019 by Claudia O

Anyway, it‘s a grea5 ahow, and I was lucky and happy to have enjoyed it indoors 😊 Think they kinda have to since it’s the only time the majority of them are available (sporting off-seasons). But yeah, I didn’t really notice tbh. A lot of the production draw isn’t really lighting or video-based on this one anyway and the stuff that is tends to come as the sun’s going down. Looking forward to see how things set up at Werchter. Edited June 28, 2019 by Jobby
Claudia O Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Rock Werchter today, hoping for a livestream! I think they won‘t change the setlist, but I hope they include Bliss or even CE - one can dream ok? edit: the account „The Gallery gang“ on Twitter asked the team of Rock Werchter about it, sadly there won‘t be a livestream 😕 Edited June 30, 2019 by Claudia O

If so then maybe it’s impressive. Put it this way, I’ve never seen crew actively celebrate (we’re talking hands and knees) an act being over before.
Mozza Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) My view from Cologne - weird. Not bad but very weird. The best songs were Plug in Baby and Hysteria. No weirdness like absailing ghost busters or zombie trumpeters, just well performed good songs Edited July 1, 2019 by Mozza
Clunge Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 So Werchter just turned out to be the same show without the frills?
Claudia O Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Greta van Fleet are pretty good! Yes, they sound a bit like Led Zep, especially the singer. I read that the singer didn‘t know Robert Plant until somebody told him their voices sounded so similar. They are still young, who knows what‘s still to come if they survive!

Can’t believe that about not hearing them, it’s pretty much a carbon copy 😂 I hope they get better, I know they’re young. Hits a level of unoriginality atm that I can’t defend personally though, and the last 20-30 mins of their Werchter set was awful. Just one continuous, aimless jam of generic wankery and solos with the singer doing the same scream like every 30 seconds, sometimes horribly off-key. Gave me a pretty banging headache by the end, people around me were begging for it to stop. One p chill member of the crew said it was one of the worst things he’s stood through. 4 hours ago, Clunge said: So Werchter just turned out to be the same show without the frills? Arena set, most the frills. Some technical problems too, kinda meh. Impressive for casual festival-goers though I guess. Edited July 2, 2019 by Jobby
Claudia O Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 I‘ve never seen them live or watched a full set tbh. I think they‘ll find their way.
Clunge Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 GVF are an absolute abomination. I think it was Pitchfork who described them most accurately as little more than a musical algorithm for the Spotify era.
Nicklord Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Greta Van Fleet sounds soo much like Led Zeppelin but I didn't mind it at all there. I loved it actually knowing only 2 songs Saw them last year at Rock im Park and it was meeeeh but they've grown a lot. Only thing I actually mind is that they were subheadliner when it was obvious that people didn't know the songs
Jobby Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 Got my first ever (and last I imagine) pick last night 🥳🥳🥳 and a set, should’ve had the harmonica as well but it bounced out of my palm and security inevitably gave it to the person next to me instead That’s me done ‘til September then I think. Thank god ‘cos I need a break. Will post up a mini review/pros and cons of the tour from my POV at some point when I’m home, washed, fed, comfortable and generally not fooked.
MAurelia Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Last night show in Madrid was AMAZING. I that this tour is one of the best imo. The visuals, the dancers and the boys.
Jobby Posted August 1, 2019 Author Posted August 1, 2019 So, are we thinking any changes in September? There was a fair amount of talk around Madrid being ‘the last gig of the tour’, seemed to be an air of finality about it. Obviously I really enjoyed my time following this last leg and there were a few special shows in there but I do feel they could’ve done a bit more with the song variety and that was one of the only real negatives for me, as much as I understand the effects of the heavy ‘scripting’. Obviously I’d expect things to mostly stay the same, since Matt said it’d be the same show when the O2 gigs were announced. But Blockades and TV have to come in now for me, rotating with BITM and Algorithm respectively. Would love GUAF for Mercy but I think that ship has sailed. Still don’t know what’s gone on with SH but at this point idek where you’d fit it in unfortunately. Nods to the joint Showbiz and TR anniversaries would be nice, maybe bring Unintended back in place of Dig Down for the slow ballad and for TR...Resistance? Overture? 😏guidlinglightlel😏
Claudia O Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I think it won‘t change that much, but maybe they‘ll add Something human again. Has anyone talked to them in person about The Void or Blockades, why they are missing in the set? Maybe the stars don‘t aling to play them live, like with Defector last tour 🤨🙄 but at least they tried it with Defector! More important question: Matt mentioned a possible release of Origin of Muse for x-mas, answering a fan on Instagram. There’s nothing planned gig-wise after South America ... maybe we‘ll get a mini-OOS-tour ... I saw it mentioned on Twitter, but it‘s only speculation. In the end we‘ll get no release this year .... pffff Edited August 4, 2019 by Claudia O
Jobby Posted August 4, 2019 Author Posted August 4, 2019 My guess would be mainly festivals next year. Could leave space for a small leg or some isolated special shows I s’pose.

Claudia O Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) It should have been released 2 years ago, right? Now Matt says maybe for x-mas, but he often says things and then it doesn‘t happen ... Edited August 6, 2019 by Claudia O
