Other than Pearl Jam, who else is there?

Yeah. I'm seeing them again on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I might as well wait till after the shows at the very least.

If you listen to it now you know all the songs and might enjoy the concerts more!

I still enjoy the The Mother We Share and We Sink a lot but I don't think I will be a huge fan of the album as a whole.

When I saw them in March the only things that were out were The Mother We Share, Lies, and Recover (it was still a week or so before even the Recover EP came out), and it was still one of the most enjoyable shows I've ever seen, so I'm not too worried about knowing the whole album before these shows.

If you've scoured Youtube before, you have probably already heard a lot of these live. I'm not sure exactly how many they have played live already, but I think I've seen all but 2 or 3 on Youtube already.

Live stream of tonight's show...

https://www.evntlive.com/#!/event/1000555

Starts at ten Eastern time. I'll be there in person. I was gonna post about last night's show, but I figured I'd just wait and make one (way too long and way too emotional) post about both shows.

I'll write more later, but there's really no question in my mind that they've become my favorite band over the past twelve months. The last two nights lived up to how high the show I saw in March set the bar. I legitimately love them in a way I've only loved the Manics, PJ Harvey, and Pearl Jam before.

I'll stop before this turns into a 5,000 word essay about how much I love CHVRCHES. I'm very jealous of everyone else in this thread who is going to see them over the next few weeks.

Sounds about right.

It really is nice to fall head over heels in love with a band again the way you did when you were a teenager, isn't it?

I'm head over heels in love with Lauren. Hearing her do an imitation of Gollum was the final thing that pushed it over the edge.
