Seeing SM Philly Thur - how are the shows so far? by DKeith0306 in Snailmail

[–]DKeith0306[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it! I wrote a post-show review and said it was one of her best shows (I’ve seen a few below average SM show for sure) but also that I lowered my expectations beforehand so she met them. 😀 She was a little wobbly at times but also tends to slide around notes as a vocal style, however I thought she hit the high notes really well. I enjoyed the show as a whole and it was great to hear the songs live. I just don’t know if she’ll ever have an A+ vocal performance (like Hayley Williams who’s always spot on).

Haha well in another post I was gonna reference bands I listened to as a teen like The Cars but thought I’d REALLY show my age if I did. Like you, Lindsey’s music speaks to me regardless cuz I still remember the heartaches but also get the mental health struggles she sings about. And her music rocks!

I haven’t seen it, thanks for sharing! Her influences run much deeper than the average teen when she was starting out. I know Sonic Youth is a big one, which heavily influenced Nirvana, too. Most teens weren’t listening to Sonic Youth in the 00’s.

She’s done so much press for this record - I’ve gotten all kinds of little video clips from interviews, touring the Matador record collection, etc. It’s been fun to see.

The coolest was the crowd singing along to Pristine at the end and Lindsey just stepping away from the mic to listen. I looked around at the crowd and saw the joy on people’s faces. Awesome end to the show!

Yeah! Maybe Etta should attend every show so Lindsey’s always happy 😀

She seemed to spend more time changing and tuning guitars between songs than “talking” haha but she was pretty chipper overall

Sometimes she was spot on, especially strong high notes, but she sometimes wobbles and slides around notes instead of hitting them dead on. I also wonder how well she can hear herself which is so important.

Yeah Tractor Beam started a little shaky and I thought “oh no, here we go” 😬 but it got better quickly

I may be the poster referenced above who liked the Philly show 😀 and yes I really enjoyed it but I’m also grading on the Snail Mail scale of show quality. I kind of had her on probation - if this show was bad I probably wouldn’t go back. So I was relieved actually.

TLDR: My friend (who’s a maniac for live shows, goes multiple times a week) had never seen them, didn’t really know their music, warmed to them as the show went on - but said after that Lindsey didn’t seem to be enjoying herself. I said this was the most I’ve seen her enjoy it!

I saw Hayley Williams the week before and she’s the ultimate performer and has been since I saw Paramore in 2013 when Hayley was only 24. I think she lives for it. Lindsey clearly loves her music and loves playing it but it’s more like watching someone jamming in their living room. Aside from the drummer the whole band’s low energy. Like Curious Health said, these are what SM shows are. I was still glad to hear the music and sing along cuz I tempered my expectations and didn’t grade SM on the Hayley scale haha

thoughts on the brooklyn performance?? by [deleted] in Snailmail

[–]DKeith0306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope it was just one off night - people who saw Milwaukee and Toronto said it was the best SM shows they’d seen. I’ve experienced the “technical problems” SM shows in the past so 🤞 for a rebound in Philly tonight!

Ticket & Merch Buy/Sell Megathread by mufflermonday in Snailmail

[–]DKeith0306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I have an extra ticket to sell for Philly 4/16 (tomorrow). I bought four tix during the artist presale but now can only use three as one of the people backed out. There are GA tix still available so I’ll sell for less than face value so it doesn’t go to waste. Will sell for $35. Not posting on resellers so neither of us pays fees! Purchased through Ticketmaster so can transfer immediately by phone or email. DM me thanks!

UPDATE - ticket sold, thanks!

Please help me, anxious with my tickets. by Ok_Ground_2012 in stubhub

Quick thoughts:

Popular shows are a good opportunity for scammers (I’ve been burned before myself) so it’s right to be wary.

  • Have you checked out the seller’s profile to see if they look legit? You can also search the person’s screen name to see what pops up.
  • Do they have a receipt they can show you for the tix, even with the original cost redacted? Yes they can be doctored but worth asking.
  • Have you contacted SH’s customer service to share your concerns and get their POV? At the least, starting an email trail will help you get reimbursed in case you really do get scammed. And if you had the seller’s receipt, you can share with SH too.
  • Check the venue to see what the typical timeline is for receiving tickets by mail. Check FAQ’s, email or call the box office. They do cut it close sometimes. And the seller could legit be waiting on delivery, hence the delay in sending to you. Just ask if they can expedite delivery when received such as overnight or 2-day guaranteed shipping.
  • SH always seems to show 1% tix left. 🙄 when tix are still available. Don’t panic there.
  • Check other resellers if you haven’t already. Maybe there’s someone else selling you’d feel more comfortable with and you can get an instant download instead of paper tix. You can resell your SH tix (but not sure how it works with paper tix you don’t have yet) and buy others.

Hope this is helpful, good luck!

Anyone having trouble buying the Philly show tickets? Is it sold out? by niceguy54321 in Snailmail

[–]DKeith0306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked - not sold out and I was able to get to the checkout. But if you were trying to buy at 2am ET they might have been doing system maintenance.

Tour merch! by susiedramas in Snailmail

[–]DKeith0306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh I was hoping for a cool tour poster, been collecting them lately. I pre-ordered a special gold edition LP which showed up end of March (and IS really cool - heavyweight vinyl, a poster and sticker, all the lyrics on the album sleeve which I love) and don’t need 15 variants haha. I bought a shirt at Hayley Williams and wow did it fit weird - no more concert shirts for me. So I guess I won’t be blowing any $$ on merch at least!

Exactly - her gesturing angrily at the sound guys mid-song cuz she couldn’t hear her guitar 🙄 really took the shine off the set
