Starting this thread early so people going can check in, hope to see you all there. Pretty psyched since personally it's my first AC show.

I'll be there. Got to be at the show in Boston, so this'll be my second on this tour. Pretty stoked.

Going to this as well as Nashville the night before. Also pretty stoked

I live in Portland but I'll be home for this – score! I caught the PDX show here last week and got my mind pretty blown, pics and review: http://goo.gl/QrMjt0

Less than a week! My first show of the tour and I couldn't be more excited!!

Alright, so now that both of my friends have had to bail, I'm down for meeting up at the show. I'll be the tall guy wearing the Grateful Dead shirt. Im willing to talk and hang out with everyone once we're inside the venue (and i'm alone, people taking me there would be weirded out by me talking to internet folks). See y'all there!

Doors at 7, hopefully I'll be there 5:30 ish to get down front. I'll be in the vampire weekend shirt. Gonna be amazing, never seen AC live before

Heading to ATL now. I'll be the one in a star-covered shirt. Ready to kick off my PW live era!!

Sound was killer, setlist was amazing and the live translation of the new stuff (as well as the updated oldies) was BONKERS.

Opening with Natural Selection, the updated Alvin Row banger (!!!!!) and Loch Raven... man. Vertical seemed to be the only lacking part of the set, which was surprising how solid it is on the record.

Crowd was a serious disappointment but I didn't let it affect my incessant raging. I'm sure I annoyed other people around me but I can't comprehend why the crowd didn't move around. This is easily their most kinetic set of gigs.

^ yeah dude last night was some crazy shit. I too was a little bummed by the crowd and I seemed to be the only person in my vicinity that knew any significant amount of lyrics.. I think as AC has gotten more popular they've attracted more fans who aren't as serious (which is not a bad thing, it's just a thing)
Also.. Apparently Noah is someone who teenage girls really dig? I was standing near the front in direct line of his table and there were girls near me who seemed to be talking about Noah in a similar way indie rock girls talk about Mac Demarco or whoever else they think is cute... I'm just glad everyone there seemed to be really genuine, even if they weren't as excited as me
Also, shoutout to Avey's dance moves

Post **Posted:** Sun May 08, 2016 9:33 pm

People think Mac Demarco's cute?
Also, Avey should totally be the heartthrob of the group. Just sayin'

Post **Posted:** Sun May 08, 2016 9:45 pm

Anyone else stick around after the show to meet the dudes?

I met Avey and Panda and talked to each of them v briefly, got a pic with Panda. Both were super cool and friendly (unsurprisingly)

After the show I was so tired from moving around I just gave up on that and headed home. Would have done it otherwise though. How about that guy who charged the stage though? After he did that his friends acted a lot less obnoxious for the rest of the show (thankfully).

Post **Posted:** Sun May 08, 2016 10:10 pm

Yeah idk if he was trying to stage dive or what. Noticed that one of the band's roadies/crew had to grab him, feel like the venue should've been on top of that especially cause there were signs saying no stage diving. Wtf Buckhead Theatre

The dude scared me to death when he got up there cuz he looked really angry and I was convinced he was gonna punch Brian, he got up there and just glared at him, was a very weird moment

Post **Posted:** Sun May 08, 2016 10:32 pm

Lol why?? Weird...

That was so strange. I think the guy was tripping on something because I saw him getting a talking to behind the curtains and he still looked lost.

For real! The Tennessee show went the same way until Jimmy mack. Crowd got hype af after that! I expected the same to happen in Atlanta but it never did. I was in the front left and we had a small pool of dancing but that was it. Tennessee crowd made my home city look like a bunch of boring hipsters lol

Now that I think about it I saw Matt and Kim at the buckhead theater and it was the same story. A bunch of people standing around looking mad at me for dancing.

I was behind him in the audience, and I can confirm he and his friends were high out of their minds.

Pretty sure I stood right behind you.. The dancing was dope. Especially during Golden Gal. I was almost on the barricade during KAS but some people showed up really late and bumped me and my friends back and I'm too much of a pushover to say anything :negative:
