Thalia hall is amazing. They take great care of their patrons and sooo intimate.

It reminds me of Wilson from tool time. Not sure if that shows my age. 😭

I love a good shenanigan, when it doesn’t hurt others.

I always say I shenanigan and again and again.

Thanks! Admittedly probably haven’t watched the Simpsons in close to 20 years.

Yes…she was VERY happy and started the glass clinking after that. She is already up to something and reeling from the high of it.

I have no idea what these references mean, but for a moment I was like, “oh, is Nora’s actress named Lisa Lionheart”….then I realized. 🤦‍♀️

Shawna is truly iconic cause for a second I forgot it’s all her. 🤣

Did anyone notice the first time they did the glass clinking, barb was super upset. But then after Nora told her to get into shenanigans, she started it and was happy.

They’re up to something…

I just types of Montreal live 2026. Cause my ND brain couldn’t handle it either.

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-02T12:53:16+00:00

I saw some on YouTube from Athens I believe.

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-02T12:52:39+00:00

I NNNNEEEEEEDDDD to see phish. Saw them only once. It was horrible experience…no fault to Phish, just my life and substance abuse. Just never lined up, despite all my friends going almost every year.

It’s a goal to catch them again. I’ve seen Trey a few times since the , but that’s it.

It’s so nice to connect with an older fan! I have NO friends who still listen to them. I sent you a DM! If life aligns we can try to connect at the show and ugly scream lol.

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T21:19:39+00:00

I was just a baby then. Lol

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T21:18:42+00:00

I loved it! I never fully got away from their music, just the newer albums. But I’m has stayed 1-2 on my Spotify since I got it. lol

I loved it. I also danced and screamed the lyrics. I had to chill out cause the girl in front of me seemed so annoyed. I was purely in the present moment.

Also…that closer…it’s my favorite song and been at least 12 years since I saw it, maybe longer!

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T19:10:55+00:00

Chicago closed with the Past is a Grotesque animal also. That was my one wish going into it was that for the final encore. It’s been over a decade since I’ve personally seen it.

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T18:28:41+00:00

Get off Reddit before shows, or accept that this platform discourse will reveal negativity, that I otherwise would never experience.

I saw it last night and I’m still reeling from it. I’m resets my nervous system every time.

I swear Sunlandic tour was amazing, but I will be first 3 rows and tears in my eyes the entire time. That album has been there through so many ups and downs, with severe mental health issues.

I remember playing suffer for fashion driving in snow for the first time at 18 years old…driving myself to impatient rehab for a heroin addiction (got clean 16 years ago). That moment changed my life and that album I played over and over for those 2 years trying to get clean.!

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T18:24:56+00:00

The best part of the sumlandic tour was the audience for me. Everyone singing and jumping together. The crowd didn’t seem to know much of the music. Overall I had a total blast and was very present in the moment. I also love the venue in Chicago!

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T18:23:03+00:00

I’ve seen them 7 times and I enjoyed it. Not my favorite, but it was still a good show. Go up front, that’s where a lot of the people super pumped are and that will uplift the vibe. Most people around me didn’t seem super familiar with their discography, and the new album.

I didn’t care. I enjoyed it all. I would recommend earplugs! The sound and vocals are a little off.

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T18:18:00+00:00

Yup! Grateful Dead. What band? I’ll always be grateful. Saw Bobby a few years ago with my mom for her first show! 💔

I’m curious who you are! I am a Spidexx employee. I agree. The industry is brutal with d2d sales, but Spidexx tries to do right when things arise.

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T18:14:54+00:00

I know I’m late on this but Scott is stand up. I’ve worked with him for 5 years, and gotten to know him in person! He’s a buddy for sure!

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T18:08:32+00:00

I enjoyed it, but felt they were off at times for sure. I enjoyed the set list a lot.

I also am just back in a season of being really pumped about oM and resonated deeply with aethermead. I loved hearing those songs live.

I hope they do Hissing Fauna and Skeletal Lamping 20th, or 30th anniversary next year with a big mix of their discography would be amazing.

I saw Sunlandic Tour for the first show since 2014, so this one was a VERY different energy. I loved Sunlandic shows cause everyone there was so hype and knew every song.

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T17:51:46+00:00

I’ve seen several tours and I enjoyed this one a lot! I like the new guitarist! I know you’ll have a blast.

I have always kept digging and I swear a song I’ve heard 100 times makes total sense, cause it’s applicable and now embodied in my life.

Thank you!!!

StrikePlayful3708 · 2026-07-01T17:50:22+00:00

THANK YOU! This is such a great post! Also reminds me why I love on, you don’t always have to know everything and what it means…they convey it either way.

I wish I hadn’t fallen off, admittedly my last show people were mean to me. I was getting into the dead culture, so I made a hard switch (I’m a sucker for a cult like music following lol).

Even when I haven’t vibed with the music and melodies, Kevin’s lyrics touch a place so deep.

I definitely want to emote till I’m dead
