My friend bailed so I have a Fan Club seat available tonight. I'd love to trade it for one tomorrow night. SM me. Not sure if ticket posts are allowed here or not, if not, delete post/please don't ban user.

Yours truly will be in attendance tonight. Look for a short review of the show on culturemap.com in the coming days.

Odds that I'll get a Frogs song during the night one set?

Looking forward to your review, Reid

Thanks, friend.

Don't expect it to be anything more than a superficial, fly-on-the-wall thing. CultureMap isn't really the place for critical reviews.

What I'm most hoping for in this show, even more than a performance of Starboy, is

Just Breathe
Immortality
Society (w/ Hansard)
Sleepless Nights (w/ Hansard)

Arc

Encore 2:
Hard Sun

Other than LBC, was it a good show Reid?

Yes, it was. Even LBC was charming in it's sloppiness. Looking at the leaked setlist, I think what happened was this:

1. Unthought Known was slated for the first encore
2. A fan shouts out for Love Boat Captain during said encore.
3. EV says "now that's interesting..." before playing a few chords of either UK or LBC.
4. EV plays "Immortality"
5. A few songs later, EV says "I'll honor that earlier request, but you'll have to help me with the first line.."
6. EV begins LBC off-key, almost like he was confusing it with UK.
7. The song goes back and forth between being horribly off-key (verses) and triumphantly familiar (the chorus).
8. ??
9. Profit.

Has he done Immortality before? I imagine that could sound quite good.
I fuckin' hate LBC.

He did "Immortality" when I saw him in St. Louis last July. He stumbled over the words a bit but it was a nice version.

Where's the review washing machine?

The headline is not my doing.

Very nice, sir.

Thanks, '2black. I wish I was going tonight.

Good stuff. Well done you.

Thanks. When I do these things for bands that I love, it's incredibly tough to both write for a general audience and also appease my inner fanboy. I hope I did the show justice. Those play-by-plays over at the pit tell a much more detailed story.

I want to know where to start with Hansard.

Yes!
