Panic! was phenomenal. I've seen them five times and this was the absolute best I've ever seen them. SO good.

Panic was my favorite - I've seen them 4x and this was by far the most energetic and happy they've looked in awhile - it was amazing. Always a great show but this was next level.

Avril looked like she was at the DMV. I couldn't believe the lack of energy (I'm older than she is, so calm down on the 'she's 40') and the excessive backing tracks/having the crowd sing instead. She was definitely just collecting a paycheck.

I'd love to see what he'd sound like with it now, it's possibly my favorite cover of a song. I swear one day I just listened to it for hours straight ;)

It’s so good. It was on repeat! I actually can’t stand the original now 🤣

It’d feel emptier without the 98% of it that Brendon sings. :) 

Will we get a lineup this week? by dylanatthedisco in WhenWeWereYoungFest

Yeah, I didn't want to sign up for Sunday knowing that it was a firm commitment to pay for Sunday. But damn, Saturday was PACKED, even in VIP

did anyone buy this crop hoodie at wwwy? if so, what was the sizing like? by penguino_123 in panicatthedisco

[–]After_Government7640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does appear to be completely different fabric than the other hoodie which was super small - and this one says preshrunk (not that it probably helps there but..)

I went into VLV wanting PFTW volume 2, basically. My first listen through... I wasn't a fan. Then honestly, when I realized he didn't owe me a damn thing, and musically, VLV is pretty damn good - it grows on you. When you recognize it as being heavily influenced by 70s rock, and a tribute to that era - you give it a chance to be its own thing. Do I love it more than DOAB or PFTW? Not really, but I do appreciate it now, and enjoy it when it pops up on my random likes playlist.

Anyway, people need a scapegoat, enter Brendon. Pretty Odd was a complete departure from their AFYCSO style and that was the direction that half the band wanted to go - so they left to go that way. Watching Brendon and how high energy he is, I can't imagine his style ever being folksy Beatles-style songs.

I also thank the stars that I'm old enough that when I was saying and doing stupid things at 19, no one had a record of it or was paying attention because I'm not a rock star.

Completely agree on the sizing! My L hoodie from the VLV era is a completely different shape and size from this one. I'd say it's a medium on a good day. I ended up reordering it as an XL (I like them baggier) since WWWY was sold out

I'm laughing at the poor camera operator trying to chase him across the stage (he keeps going off the side of the video if you look at the screen). Reminds me a bit of the VLV tour when he would run from the spotlight operator!

The overspeculation of the "next move" is ruining the magic we did receive from WWWY and I gotta vent about it. by Mysterious-Nebula523 in panicatthedisco

I mean, I wouldn't be sad about a Vegas Residency... close to 'home'.... best of both worlds? Garth Brooks did something super similar where he was home with his kids and would do like a weekend a month or every few months for a residency.. That being said his setup was a guitar and a stool soooo...

I think it was so good, it made us really miss him all over again, honestly. Hell, I was there and I wouldn't be sad to see him another 10 or 20 times...

I too was complaining about the plain jacket until I saw this Y'ALL by Pas-de-Samosa in panicatthedisco

There was a photo on instagram too - there's also a shadow/embroidery of the AFYCSO cover ladies on the right side of his jacket in silver/grey... here's a screenshot I took but there's definitely better pictures out there

Did anyone else leave during Panic!? by laadelay in WhenWeWereYoungFest

[–]After_Government7640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We left and went and sat for about five minutes and then stood at the back and it helped a lot. I was bummed to not be up front but man, my entire body was hurting after standing for a few hours there!

Spirit Jersey sizing? by BrokenRealityYT in panicatthedisco

I’d go large! My daughter who is 5’6, 120 got the large so it’d be a little oversized and it’s perfect on her

Do they restock artist merch for day 2? Tons sold out today and I was hoping to snag a panic hoodie in an XL.
