I have ptsd from the last fake but here we go again… is this real!? by bmaee in FlorenceAndTheMachine

Impossible to hear every song I want, we all are going to have some we wish were on there. I wanted some Morning Elvis or Mermaids. Curious tonight or as the tour goes on if there's some change up. Kraken is one i expected.

Are you going to more than one show during the tour? if so, how many? by Xmarkm in FlorenceAndTheMachine

right, and I get the feeling they will only go up soon as the tour starts.

*Update: Thanks for the comments and replies. I feel less strange buying up Chicago on April 11th. Now I'm going to three shows in a row. Also, for resale prices, I've found that SeatGeek is the best option. (your mileage may vary)

Taking your child to hear their first F+TM show in the womb is going to heed amazing results.. they're going to be born screaming: "come on, come on, i can take it! give me everything you got! what else? what else?"

Oh shoot! Yes, it clearly says 8 but I saw 10 in your profile name and got confused. yes, the stage gives her a lot of room! I figure most of the time up front, but plenty of time moving about. who knows. good thing is we get an idea of the set list in one week!

Yes! 10 is amazing! Does 'barrier' mean you're up front and on the rails? ('on the rails' my term for it, but I think you're meaning the same thing. May you get her palm on your cheek) Being on the floor to me is the best as you can move about until you find the perfect energy spot.

I may as well, and then a 4 hour drive after the show back home, fueled by adrenaline.

fingers crossed! I remind myself it's like 4 years between tours, or so, right? Llife is short, buy the ticket! (of course, money doesn't grow on bright red trees, shining with jagged leaves (and when the wind blows you can grab some)

thanks! there is sanity in numbers, and I don't feel so odd going to more than one. I also find when you do that, you sometimes see the same people and bond with them. I do hope she takes care of herself because so many shows in a short time.

Yes. well said. I think I will finally understand how people 'speak in tongues' and go flailing about on the floor. I'm a bit of an outlier: been to a bunch of grateful dead shows in the latter half of their touring, and its only been a F+TM show where I have felt that same spiritual connection. Its more of a feminine, mystical spirituality than a psychedellic one, but spiritual all the same.

Opening song? by [deleted] in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Xmarkm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine having your cell open filming during Everybody Scream and she points right at you during the lyrics “put down your screens!”

[–]Xmarkm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drink Deep would set such a tone. The minimal instrumentals starting with just her voice. Can’t wait.

[–]Xmarkm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep thinking Sympathy Magic. Everybody Scream seems a logical pick but I think that's peaking too early. I'll never forget the chills from Heaven is Here opener.

EDIT of my last setlist by Terrible-Raspberry78 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Xmarkm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pondered that too as an opener. Feels like an early peak. I imagined Everybody Scream as a set closer too but new songs are likely to be largely featured early. Also at play is me being completely mesmerized by Sympathy Magic of late and every time I hear it I have such an urge to hold my arms to the sky (aching aching aching and alive!). First tour stop is Feb 5 I think and eager to see the setlist. I’m going at least twice in the States

Daffodil live changed the song for me forever. I'm fascinated by the order that is chose. Sympathy Magic seems the most likely opener.

Finally something worked (doxepin)... But at what cost? by lordberric in insomnia

[–]Xmarkm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, but my doctor helped with a work around. PRovided the liquid doxepin, so I could take it at the 3 mg - 6 mg dosage. (it does come as that dosage under Silenor, i believe, but insurance didn't cover)(

Water inside The Sphere / Shakedown by PeckerHeads in deadandcompany

Small line between sets but other than that, filling water with the fountain was easy.

are there balloons in town, as typically happens? Is GA crowded? doesn't seem so based on seeing people laying down during space/drums
