Just a really fun show! Pretty decent setlist, a few duds, but nothing that ruins the night. Band had a lot of energy.
Seek Up, Warehouse, Grace Is Gone opening run was straight fire! A mid-set Jimi Thing with no covers tacked on the end... woah what year is this?! I've never been on the hate bandwagon for the song, but seeing them finally play it without any extra covers or interpolations was refreshing.
Haven't been a big fan of the "Break" songs, but they come across better live, especially Break For It. Break Free at least sound better than the atrocious 06 versions.
I am really liking Madman's Eyes and Walk Around The Moon. IMO, those are the best of the current batch of new tunes and was extremely glad to get those two. Love the intensity in Madman and the hypnotic groove in Moon. "it's blue... it's red..."
For me the two biggest duds of the night are Funny The Way It Is and You and Me. I'm sick of them.
Why I Am really doesn't need to be closing shows. The song isn't bad, but it doesn't have THAT appeal. Not a big fan of Space Between either, but I am not complaining when it replaces Sister.
But when you get Seek Up, Warehouse, Grace, Billies, Jimi, 3rd verse Grey St, WWYS, DDTW, Crush, and a now rare Two Step set closer along with some great new tunes, it's hard to have a bad night. Glad I got to go to this show.

Got to join the "Break Free" gang! Enjoyed "Old Dirt Hill" as well. Always hoping to hear "Grey Street" and got that too!

We had great seats in section 102 Row M FOB. Compared to their visit in 2018 at this same venue, the band sounded much tighter. Less synth sounds to make up for Boyd. Dave's voice is sounding great too - much less strained than in the past 4-5 years.
The opener was excellent - Seek Up, Warehouse, Grace is Gone. Really enjoyed most of the show, but a few slower moments and I think I've heard FTWIS at every show I've been at this point. I would have preferred a more unique encore, but it was still a great way to end the show.

First time in the pit and it did not disappoint. Even songs that are not my favorite or I think are overplayed I enjoyed just because the band seemed to be enjoying themselves too. The energy was great and they sounded amazing. I love the little mess up in Seek Up. A Seek Up opener was amazing. It was great to hear Grace is Gone and Two Step as well. I am not crazy about Why I Am and would’ve loved to had a different encore, but overall it was a great show.

Solid show, best one I've seen in the Buddy era. Two Step was a nice surprise. Overall the band was locked in and feeding off each other.
