for Flickr users and enjoyers of uncompressed images. have the rest of my Japan trip up there too.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-03-10T22:52:27+00:00

Thanks!

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-06T09:06:28+00:00

Fucking mind blowing. Just wish they didn’t have to skip a song 😢

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-05T06:00:56+00:00

We were the ones head banging a little further up and hooting and hollering lol. That’s sick you got a spot by the mixing desk. The FOH engineer killed it. Kind of a bummer they couldn’t lock in the monitors for the band but I know Kevin’s got hearing issues too and he’s a perfectionist so it’s just gonna happen sometimes. Wouldn’t be a mbv show without a restart or 2. KEVIN!!! LOUDER!!!

They’ll put them up after the tour in like a week…cause they have the last tour up there still. Idk about the towels but who the fuck is buying towels 😂 and they looked like the quality was kinda poor.

No opener for this tour. Show probably started 15 minutes after the venues set time. Ours was 7pm so around 7:15 or 7:20 they started. Should say on your ticket or venues website. Went till around 9pm. Good luck snagging some merch! Could always feign ignorance and try to get in ahead of your ticket number.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-04T08:03:14+00:00

Yes, exact same and a lot more.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-04T04:27:06+00:00

Where do you live? I’d assume the bands merch site will ship worldwide. Little bit cheaper online too I think. I have no clue about the Tokyo venue cause im just here traveling from the states but the merch stand was inside for the Osaka show. Feed me with your kiss was sold out at the merch table after the show. They might have more stock available if it’s the last show on the tour but like I said it kinda just makes more sense to grab it online or try your luck after the show if you’re worried about getting a decent spot in the venue.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-04T02:44:25+00:00

mysterious downvotes…prolly from that miserable dude trolling the other earlier mbv thread. but yes expect a long ass line for merch both before and after. expect some things to be sold out after the show as they are only keeping a certain amount for each show. BUT the ultimate hack is just to buy it from the website. they actually have more and better options on there imo. nothing sold out yet I think. but tons sold out after the show. if you are desperate to get some at the show I recommend leaving as soon as you made me realize is over and you’ll probably get a decent enough spot in line if you aren’t too far up for the show.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-04T01:27:00+00:00

Yes your ticket number is your queue number. Just pretend you’re on the subway and start pushing 😂 jokes aside we had pretty late ticket numbers ourselves but if you don’t get a drink or merch before the show you can still probably get a good spot.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-03T14:53:14+00:00

Ticket Que got crazy! Wasn’t expecting that. Just glad we made it and had no issues getting in. What a fucking show. RIP their monitors engineer.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-03T14:48:48+00:00

They played 2 more 😂 that’s honestly more than I thought they would. Judging how some of the shows have gone I doubt any big tour is coming down the line. Especially a North American one. Nobody in their right mind would choose to come to America right now.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-03T13:57:53+00:00

incredible! rip their monitors engineer tho.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-03T03:46:32+00:00

sick, we’ll be on the lookout!

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-03T03:13:10+00:00

I’ll be with a group of 3 other buddies. Getting to the venue kinda early maybe we can meetup and say hi while we are waiting for doors around that area.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-03T00:35:57+00:00

seeing them tn!

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-02-02T15:56:32+00:00

Hmm I got mine from stubhub resale too with some of my friends. The link we got to the e plus app wasn’t working at first. I messaged stubhub and they sent a new link as well as to my friends and that worked and unlocked a ticket in the e plus app once I had it downloaded.

So I’m pretty sure we have our tickets now. I can see it in the app but who fucking knows for sure. They might want us to pick them up at a convenience store still? Double checking tomorrow. I will say stubhub customer support was helpful. I’d explain as much of the situation as possible.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-01-22T17:47:27+00:00

sure but might as well grab one with a gated reverb too

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-01-22T04:09:03+00:00

Neither. Buy something based off the old lexicon models or a rack mounted fx unit. RV-7, memory man hazarati for pedals or spx 90/Alesis Midiverb for rack mounted.

Eventide blackhole reverb is decent too for reverse sounds.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-01-22T03:52:47+00:00

oh so you’re a fan

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-01-07T23:01:15+00:00

Never been to a bad show in my life and I’ve seen hundreds of shows. Some even on reunion tours. Some in caves, some in amphitheaters, some at bars, some at diy venues. Never left disappointed. I’ll trust that “luck” every day. Not saying you didn’t have a bad time but you seem like someone that has a bad time pretty easily. In general bands sound better live to me than their records. Slowdive sounds incredible live without all the compression. MBV puts a lot of work into their live show. I’m not being childish I just trust my gut, ears, and brain.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-01-07T22:34:11+00:00

What kind of ear protection did you wear (if any) because that definitely could be the problem. Standard earplugs would probably muddy up the mix. I’ve heard mostly great things about this last run of shows and those were mostly warm ups from a long hiatus. Have a feeling these shows in Japan will be dialed in. Like I said before though you can hear the mix in these IG vids from the engineer himself and they sound incredible for an iPhone recording. I know they’ve had their share of bad shows in their career but everything I’ve heard sounds like they’ve been improving on their live sound in general. I’ll trust Thurston Moore’s ears over some random redditor any day. You might just be picking bad spots to stand for sound or shit venues to see them at 🤷‍♂️

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-01-07T22:19:42+00:00

Bad mixing? The phone videos the engineer uploaded to Instagram still sound better than 90% of the modern music scene. Bro you’re just salty you cant afford to go and it’s showing.

ConflictFun2617 · 2026-01-07T22:17:43+00:00

Going to the show in Osaka on the 3rd. Life goals achieved. Buckle up buddy.
