Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed.

Yeah, you see Jeff sitting at the end of Ledbetter and Ed came up and just put his hands on his shoulders? These guys love each other. It’s such a privilege to be a part of this thing for 30 years. The friend I was with was seeing PJ for the 50th time yesterday, but it was the first since 2018. He was crying during Ledbetter.

These people have been waiting since April 2020. Sweet release!

Awesome! I think I was a few sections to the right of this entrance

loved this moment

I caught this too. I thought it was awesome.

I teared up a bit on Retrograde. Gigaton came out a month before my dad passed away, and I played a lot of Retrograde to get me through his final few weeks in May.

Josh's Pluralone was fun. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Snatcher just know I tried to meet you but strat couldn’t close the deal.

Great fucking show. They played Last Exit so who cares about the rest.

Awesome show, had a great time. Great set and the band sounded tight. The end of Retrograde was so much fun.

Sorry I missed you evenslow! Dammit! I had my phone on airplane mode for most of the show bc I forgot to charge it, and needed to save some juice in case I needed to call an uber. So didn’t see strat’s messages until after I got back to hotel. Glad you guys got to meetup!

great post

just going to say once again it's been a real joy reading about everyone's experience at these shows, and seeing pics of smiling faces.

we love this band and it shows.

daft, through smiling teeth, just instructed him to watch the lean.

L-R: Monkey_Driven, bodysnatcher, wease, Strat, trag, then a couple non-RMers.

Also got to meet evenslow briefly.

We did take a pic with someone leaning in front of me but the lean became more of a full screen and I’m literally not in the picture at all.

good looking crew right there.

Amazing! Glad you got to meet up and enjoy the show.

I also like the use of the video screens.
