SMILE :D Live - Manchester (March 7th)

[dreamy dawn]

so real, i was gonna wait for ppl outside, but i wanted merch

so i stayed till the shop closed

[weary sonnet]

god yesterday doesn't feel real

[dreamy dawn]

i did have the bands on to see if any of y'all could pick me out but didnt happen sadly

So real. It doesnt

It feels like a dream.

[wraith path]

My brain is still piecing bits of last night together

[dreamy dawn]

Like yk when you have those moments of feeling like you just.. werent there?

THAT is how powerful it was. Im still trying to contemplate shit

and make sense of it all, im blown away

[weary sonnet]

me with musician

[dreamy dawn]

.

I LOVED MUSICIAN HELP

Mark had me on his shoulder for musician

[weary sonnet]

musician is my favourite porter song ever

[dreamy dawn]

but he was really drunk idk how tf he kept me up there

[night dagger]

gm

[dreamy dawn]

morning :)

[sharp shell]

My heart rate was at 179bmp when sad machine hit.

[night dagger]

I got a full 8 hours and still feel exhausted

[weary sonnet]

gm

[night dagger]

I must be getting old

[weary sonnet]

on the train home

[tall mica]

Especially with everyone jumping

[weary sonnet]

language was so fun

[dreamy dawn]

im knackered chat i slept well for once from how exhausted i was

And im still so tired

[tall mica]

I got pushed so much lmao

[weary sonnet]

the mosh pits

😭😭😭

[tall mica]

I was right at the front so it was chaos

[tall mica]

I got home and was like everything hurts

[dreamy dawn]

i was trynna get to the middle and i was barging so many people

I felt SO SO SO bad

but it was such a tight squeeze lmfao

[tall mica]

I turned my phone round a few times it looked tight

I have to say for my first concert that was too good

[dreamy dawn]

awhhhh same man

Honestly me and my uncle had a blast

[weary sonnet]

wasn't my first but it might be one of the best

[tall mica]

I can’t believe the guys with the league hats all got them back

At least the two next to me did

[dreamy dawn]

lmfaooo

[wraith path]

Last night was so much better than the Nurture one back in 2022

[dreamy dawn]

not gonna lie, kitsune maison sounded much better live

[night dagger]

before i was kind of on the fence but now i know for sure

im gonna get the nurture bird as a tattoo

[weary sonnet]

always really liked it

[night dagger]

i never really was a big fan of kmf and the show kind of won me over

[dreamy dawn]

Ughhh so REAL

[night dagger]

12 degrees today and the suns out

i yearn for some unhealthy kebab and a fresh cold glass of pepsi in a beer garden

i hope porter comes back to the UK soon because from his reactions to london and manc he seemed like he especially is enjoying these shows

[weary sonnet]

nurture weather

[dreamy dawn]

im wanting to sit in a field and sleep im not gonna lie

Ive done it before

loved it

[night dagger]

i actually couldn't do it

[weary sonnet]

the league bit

😭😭😭

[rotund wadi]

That was so funny

[night dagger]

because my family has a history of vertigo and dizziness

i can't face flat without getting dizzy

[wraith path]

I was booing before I realised others were booing as well LOL

[dreamy dawn]

i have breathing issues so its hard to do it lmfao

[night dagger]

must be a north thing because he said he had to ask london to boo

[weary sonnet]

it's my default reaction to league of legends being mentioned

[night dagger]

i like how there were bigger boos to hull than to valorant and league

[weary sonnet]

it's hull

[dreamy dawn]

lmfao

We dont like hull 😂😂

[night dagger]

no you mean 'ull

[dreamy dawn]

ah yes sorry

Forgot the yorkie language

lmfao

[night dagger]

hull should be its own county it puts shame on the rest of the yorkshires

[dreamy dawn]

its terrible

[night dagger]

do i get tickets

[dreamy dawn]

YES GRAB THOSE

BBNO$ ALL THE WAY ICL

[night dagger]

i need to get more gigs lined up for this year

if there's still tickets by the time i get paid im gonna get tickets for deftones in london

overall 2/10 set he didn't play any hardstyle

[dreamy dawn]

awh damnn

kinda regret not getting a setlist sheet off the crew

[night dagger]

i would've tried if i wasnt utterly exhausted

my shoes are kinda worn out so it gets sore to stand and walk after a while

the second porter and the band got off stage the only thought in my head was "bed"

[wraith path]

Feet hurt when jump too much

[dreamy dawn]

When i was walking down the streets to get to the parking block

I was walking on my tippy toes 😂😂

being so so serious

it hurt SO bad

[night dagger]

yeah that's why i only jumped during cheerleader

all the songs were ethereal but cheerleader specifically live was therapy

[wraith path]

I had to get an uber because I couldn’t walk fast enough to catch the last train because my feet was killing me lol

[round zephyr]

bro I woke up and fucking everything was hurting god damn I've never felt like that after a gig

still so worth it tho

[night dagger]

same as us

the only trains back to leeds were at 23:15 and 23:23 so we had to wait like 40 minutes in the train station for a 00:15 one

[dreamy dawn]

my back is in pieces

we got home at 1:26

i finished my chicken nugget

then

I literally knocked out on the bed

I didnt bother taking my hair bow out after getting my pjs on bro

I just full on slammed down 😂

[wraith path]

I didn’t even make it to my bed lol I crashed out on the couch

[night dagger]

porter cements his gig as my favourite mainly because it's the only one to make me cry more than once

any other of my favourite gigs got me close to one time

[dreamy dawn]

I felt so many emotions last night

[night dagger]

bring me the horizon did it once and sleep token almost did it

[dreamy dawn]

I cried, i smiled, i was scared

Everything

[night dagger]

i had to stop filming during unfold because i was almost sobbing LOL

[dreamy dawn]

Just everything

[wraith path]

23:32 was the last one to Liverpool, ain’t gonna wait till 5 for the next one

[night dagger]

my hands were shaking and shit

[fleet fractal]

Standing up to get ready for work and my left leg is dying 😭

[weary sonnet]

if he did everything to me i would've bawled my eyes out

[dreamy dawn]

It hurts to bend over

I was trynna tie my shoes to get back to my house this morning

Good god

[fleet fractal]

Was stood right at the front with one leg on the metal part so my legs were on uneven footing lmao

[weary sonnet]

locking in so i don't cry on the train

[dreamy dawn]

Im currently tearing up looking at the pictures and videos. I wanna be back with everyone

[night dagger]

anyone else feel like after seeing him live they have a completely different perspective on songs

like i loved rr but never connected with it properly till last night

[fleet fractal]

Russian roulette always made me cry, but I definitely feel that way about look at the sky now

[dreamy dawn]

RR means everything to me. Its practically mirrors my MH problems and listening to that last night, on my most trusted soul's shoulders, belting it all out

Good god.

Just genuinely i've never felt so deeply touchedn

[night dagger]

i really wish he played flicker

[weary sonnet]

would've loved hollowheart

[dreamy dawn]

this dude next to me kept screaming "PLAY FUCKING SPITFIRE"

[wraith path]

Fresh static snow tho

[dreamy dawn]

I couldnt stop laughing from it 😂

[weary sonnet]

100%

in the

[night dagger]

anyone catch the fresh static snow second sky live edit bit during the end of mona lisa

[dreamy dawn]

yeah partially

[weary sonnet]

porter then proceeds to pull out the ekowraith

[dreamy dawn]

LMFAO

[night dagger]

1/10 set didnt play booming track

[weary sonnet]

no virtual self 😪

[dreamy dawn]

the boost tho

I could feel that shit in my chest

loved it

[night dagger]

porter said he was only playing albums and that's why he couldn't play spitfire

but he played like 3 singles 😠

[dreamy dawn]

Yeah, which is understandable

[night dagger]

no spitfire 😡

[dreamy dawn]

When shelter came on, i was like "OHMYGODJAMIEJAMIE" and proceeding to whack the fuck out of my uncle

my poor uncle went through everything 😂

nah but fr guys im missing you all already!!!

[night dagger]

trying to think of what was more soul replenishing

the concert or eating a greggs iced donut before getting on the train

[fleet fractal]

Going into work with a hella creased shirt bc you know i have to

[weary sonnet]

wetherspoons

[dreamy dawn]

I got an oreo cookie when i was walking back to the car

I felt so sick from sleepiness

and not drinking enough water during the show

And it made me worse but christ i loved that thing

[fleet fractal]

(Also god even small is so big on me 😭)

[dreamy dawn]

oh shit the jersey is gonna be a bag on me then

Fair enough, ill love it either way

[weary sonnet]

i got an xl shirt because i need oversized shirts but i'm worried it'll be too oversized

[dreamy dawn]

the bigger, puffier means warmer and comfier

[fleet fractal]

Small is just pretty much always too big on me no matter where I go

But not big enough it's uncomfortable at least

[dreamy dawn]

i am just a small, and now im bricking it

i dont want it to hang off me tho lmfao

[fleet fractal]

I did end up buying 4 shirts ngl lmao I was ready with that

Was supposed to buy 5 but I forgot the one for my friend 😭

[weary sonnet]

i buy at most one piece per gig

because broke uni student

🤑

[night dagger]

mf standing there like |

[dreamy dawn]

yeahhh

[night dagger]

yeah i'm feeling a little light headed because i didnt drink enough water before i slept

[dreamy dawn]

i had one cup and that was during KYSO

then i accidentally stood on it

(the empty cup)

[weary sonnet]

the water they were giving out at the front saved me after underscores

[fleet fractal]

trying to downplay the amount of creasing in my shirt ngl 😭

[fleet fractal]

I ended up downing like 6 cups of water they handed out throughout the show lmao

[obsidian crystal]

SAME LMFAO

[night dagger]

okay birch tree whatever you say

[obsidian crystal]

ALSO WAIT

[fleet fractal]

Legit every time they came around I was like yeah I'll take one

[obsidian crystal]

WERE YOU THE ONE WITH THE FUMO

[fleet fractal]

Yea LMAO

[night dagger]

i had a drink or three which was regrettably not water

[obsidian crystal]

YAY

[dreamy dawn]

i had a monster before the show

Like the full can

[obsidian crystal]

like every time we raised our hands i would always give it a glance it was awesome

[dreamy dawn]

i think thats what made shit worse

[night dagger]

crazy how in our original spot we saw someone filming on a DS

then

we moved up further front

and someone else was doing it too

[dreamy dawn]

I love that 😂😂

[obsidian crystal]

i was literally next to a couple filming on a 3ds it was awesome

[weary sonnet]

the amount of ppl opening pokemon packs before the show started

[obsidian crystal]

YEAH

"whhEEEYYYY"

[weary sonnet]

gambling!!!

[tall mica]

Good chance you were next to me 😂 I was next to someone too

[rotund wadi]

That Fumo got in so many of my pictures and videos lol it was great

[obsidian crystal]

reisen honestly pulled the whole thing together

/j but it was awesome

im ngl after like, driving all the way back home and going straight to sleep last night honestly feels like a dream LOL

[weary sonnet]

i should've brought my cat shark

[dreamy dawn]

i was sad that i had issues because if i got close to the front, i could've acc met some of you :D

[obsidian crystal]

my biggest regret is not bringing my phone charger on the way so i couldnt record as much of it as i wanted but

im at least glad im here this time so i can see y'all's recordings instead lol

[fleet fractal]

Shoutout to the person I was semi clinging to for being the first to get to the merch store so I was second

[dreamy dawn]

All of mine you can hear me

Breaking my throat

[fleet fractal]

Was really worried I wouldn't be able to get a good spot with going LMAO

[obsidian crystal]

oh my GOD i feel that lmao

i think during fresh static snow the tears started flowing and after that my capability for high notes just vanished lmfao

[dreamy dawn]

during russian roulette

good god, my voice kept cracking from me screaming and then starting to cry

[obsidian crystal]

i think like

when rin appeared on the screen

i screamed maybe the loudest i have in my life

worth

[dreamy dawn]

when musician popped up oh my god

I sounded like i was having a breakdown

[obsidian crystal]

musician always hits me where it hurts it was so good

i couldnt take my eyes away from the animation it was stunning

[weary sonnet]

musician is like my favourite porter song ever

i relate to it sm i hate it

[obsidian crystal]

it feels like ages ago but i think when i heard musician i was like

that was the moment i knew this would be my thing

[dreamy dawn]

fr

[weary sonnet]

it really resonates with me because i have thought numerous times "why do you still do art"

[obsidian crystal]

also i just wanna share this story cause its a bit funny

[weary sonnet]

anyway language time

[obsidian crystal]

when the vips started getting inside, myself one of them, some guy just came up holding a bunch of merch and offered it to us and like
it was pretty obviously a scalper or something but i didnt realise that until we'd already gone inside and bought things lmao

so that was interesting

[weary sonnet]

wow it took that long to send crosscountry wifi is GREAT

[night dagger]

post the drop

[brave inlet]

thank u :)
and i did!

[night dagger]

peak

[fleet fractal]

Did anyone close to the front of the stage get the end section of spoiled little brat recorded, I was jumping around far too much for a good video and the person I know who was recording at the front missed it 😭

[dense lantern]

i recorded the full thing!

i was like 5 rows back from you i think

[fleet fractal]

Hell yea :D

Just god I cannot stress enough how much I love that section of the song and it was so amazing to hear live

And honestly there were a bunch of people around me who I could tell never heard the song before and thought it was over before the final part and the reaction reminded me of how insane (in a good way) i felt hearing it the first time

[dense lantern]

yeah i had no clue what was happening 😭 it was awesome though

everyone around me was basically screaming the lyrics though

[fleet fractal]

It's one of my favourite sections of any song ever and lives permanently in my head 😭

[dense lantern]

quality might be a little crunchy, i'll have the actual high quality full version uploaded tomorrow (youtube has a stupidly small daily upload limit for certain accounts now)

[thick pivot]

back in sheff now and I’m so sad but also so happy and glad I went despite it being my first solo gig

he has to come back to the uk soon waiting 3 years from the nurture tour was bad enough

[dreamy dawn]

that's so good

[gaunt echo]

Wait that's totally me like singing stupid loud and doing heart signs directly in front of you my bad LMAO

[dense lantern]

nah it's fine 😭

love that you were going crazy for underscores

[gaunt echo]

I was as excited for her as I was porter for sure

[void dome]

does anyone have any videos of mona lisa or fresh static snow from yesterday??

[rotund wadi]

I got this one of mona lisa, idk what I was cooking with the camera angles but I kinda like it

[wraith path]

Fss ❤️

[rotund wadi]

Oh ands this one of fss

[fickle surge]

represent!

[dreamy dawn]

woah :D

[brave inlet]

hell yeah :)

render update on the full set: gpu got too warm and died entirely from rendering for 12 hours

will try again later with premier pro

gpu isn’t dead entirely but it just died from rendering*

got too hot i assume

[rotund wadi]

couldn’t handle how fire the set was

[dreamy dawn]

Frfr

[brave inlet]

lmao

[gaunt echo]

Did anyone get Year Of The Cup footage

Specifically "I guess that screaming at my audience works, AHH"

[dreamy dawn]

sadly no :(

[brave inlet]

Yes

i recorded the whole show

it’s just gotta render 😔

[gaunt echo]

Yippee!

[tall mica]

Annoyingly I have like everything BUT that for year of the cup

[round zephyr]

real

[night dagger]

post concert depression has been massively negated because we're going to nandos

[dreamy dawn]

lmfao

I'm so sad

started writing something stupid for substack

a not review review of my feelings about last night

but I'm too sad to make it coherent

[molten osprey]

omg these are so pretty. makes me feel so stupid for using my phone's normal camera mode and just taking jpgs because now denoising them and such has become such a task

[steep comet]

i chose apple proraw cus shooting normal raw had all my photos looking like this 🥴

proraw did a decent job denoising while also maintaining more shadow and highlight detail than heic or jpeg

[molten osprey]

yeah a lot of my pics just ended up with noticeable haze or noise.

like this is one of my favs but the noise in the dark areas gets kinds bad

[rotund wadi]

Definitely gonna have to try proraw now after seeing these again they look amazing

[molten osprey]

plus the whole photo feels like it has a little haze to it

[rotund wadi]

Just need to learn editing 💀

[steep comet]

careful with file size tho, some of my photos are 80mb each

[dreamy dawn]

I wish I knew how to use my phone camera lmao it takes amazing day pics

[wraith path]

I was debating on whether to use raw max or not then I considered the file size. Those photos look amazing but I’m content with the photos I took since I took them myself 🙂

[dreamy dawn]

speaking of photos, im very glad my phone's camera can go VERY VERY close

Cause if not, my pics wouldnt have even got porter

[wraith path]

Lol my camera has 5x zoom

[fleet fractal]

me trying to upload some pictures/videos in places and constantly hitting file limits 😭

non nitro users being unable to send an image sometimes

[dreamy dawn]

i was dead at the back

And when i had it on the normal camera mode

You could NOT see him

At all

[fleet fractal]

oh speaking of which i wanted to upload a video to bluesky but couldn't bc my file size was too high when i tried to crop it on phone

i should try to fix that now i'm at my computer

[brave inlet]

guys

are you okay if i do it at 1080p and not 4k

should be abit better quality at 1080p too cause the videos are 4j

4k*

[steep comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvWk9Bwe7eA

[night dagger]

had my nandos

[dreamy dawn]

still got post-concert depression? Cause i do

[round zephyr]

Hittin harder than ever now that I'm on the train back to stoke </3

[dreamy dawn]

sat in my shitty rotherham home..

sighs

i miss manchester

on 07/03/25

[round zephyr]

:((((

take me baaaack

[dreamy dawn]

lets go together

[steep comet]

ive felt so Lost today

[dreamy dawn]

i still keep thinking it was a dream.

and that i wanna go back to 'sleep' and have it all over again

[fleet fractal]

surely we just ask porter to do a redo of the tour and it happens right

[dreamy dawn]

do i write an email

[wraith path]

Shocking that it’s been 24 hours since Porter started the set in manchester

[dreamy dawn]

saying he needs to come back

[fleet fractal]

my friend keeps sending pics from glasgow and i'm like god i wish i was there 😭

that being said they didn't throw the ball at porter nearly as fast as we did

[dense lantern]

dude the ball moment was nuts

at one point he threw it almost directly at me LMAO

[dreamy dawn]

IM NOT KIDDING MY MUM WAS LOOKING AT TICKETS FOR AGAIN 😂

but she was like "i cant take you to glasgow.,

cause shes literally loved how happy ive been all day from it

[wraith path]

Lucky, the ball never came to our side 😦

[fleet fractal]

i went to glasgow a long time ago but not for anything nearly as interesting 😔

i got my fumo to hit the ball at one point

[dreamy dawn]

such a shame that i was near the door

I wanted to punch that big fucking porter ball

☹️

[worthy hinge]

this is silly but i actually love this, it's strangely comforting

[fleet fractal]

it is honestly such a vibe ngl

[molten osprey]

you are so vin diesel-coded here its crazy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSx4vMTJyjI

[worthy hinge]

it reminds me of being a kid at a party and dozing away on 2 chairs pressed against each other with a coat over your head as a blanket while the adults are still going hard (oddly specific i know..)

[lethal light]

Best pic of me from that night can’t lie

[fleet fractal]

it goes so hard i fear

[dreamy dawn]

you literally look like you've discovered the true meaning of life (you did)

[lethal light]

Oh fr I did

[dreamy dawn]

lmfao

[wraith path]

I better hope he didn’t since what happens to paws during the concert 😦

[dreamy dawn]

BUT IF PAWS

IS THE MEANING OF LIFE

[lethal light]

Meow meow meow meowwwwww

[dreamy dawn]

DEATH IS APART OF LIFE ‼️

SO HE STILL IS!!

[wraith path]

THE MEANING OF LIFE WAS KILLED FOR ORBS

[dreamy dawn]

gotta love my theory chat

(im kidding)

[weary sonnet]

yep

[dreamy dawn]

[round zephyr]

Meow meow meow meow meow (in the tune of goodbye to a world) 😿

[brave inlet]

[round zephyr]

hell yeah ‼️

[wraith path]

Omg I love your discord pic & banner 🔥

Hope your gpu doesn’t die again

[brave inlet]

i hope so too

was a huge jumpscare bcs i was playing minecraft aswell 😭

[wraith path]

Hope you didn’t have shaders on 💀

[brave inlet]

nah just vanilla

[wraith path]

Ah ok, but still minecraft can bring anything to its knees sometimes

[brave inlet]

real

[lethal light]

I SEE me

[steep comet]

i was practically breathing down your neck 😓

[lethal light]

dude I love you all

[dreamy dawn]

🫶

[lethal light]

[dense lantern]

you're pretty much the only person visible 😭

aside from the band LMAO

[lethal light]

just I can't honestly thank everyone for making this weekend so memorable to me

[fleet fractal]

cole was about 3 feet to the left of me

[dreamy dawn]

[dense lantern]

[night dagger]

Behold the only good photo I taken

[fickle surge]

[fickle surge]

thanks for sharing!! I only to photos so I'm glad someone has video ❤️

[wraith path]

Damn I need to sort through my photos & videos too

I was knackered yesterday lol

[fickle surge]

I love how much jumping and twirling she did!!

ok time to go through my 5000+ porter shots 🫠

[dreamy dawn]

https://open.substack.com/pub/yayyas/p/maybe-its-a-gift-that-i-spend-all?r=1map5c&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

so I posted my first thing on substack and I tried to capture how the gig felt to me if anyone cares to read

[steep comet]

gahhh i wish i took more photos and videos of her she was amazing

[dense lantern]

this is a beautiful post

ty for sharing

[dreamy dawn]

Ty for reading I've been thinking about porter's relationship with nostalgia for ages and I realised on Friday that it's in all of his music

[sharp shell]

Oh I love these.

[sharp shell]

Yup.

For sure.

Feels weird just going back to normality after that.

Idk what I posted here and what I didn't, (too many different groups) so sorry if I've spammed the same stuff multiple times lol.

[sharp shell]

I really like this lil gif I got tho.

[round zephyr]

Fr tho :((

[round zephyr]

it's so cool tbf

[sharp shell]

Now I'm just tryna look good trying not feel baaaad. Haha.

[dense lantern]

[thick pivot]

I need to get a better phone omg my pictures are ass

[sharp shell]

My phone is pretty great (pixel 9 pro), but my hand wasn't steady enough to get many good pics lol.

[wraith path]

Man I’m still giggly when I think about Friday night lol

[molten osprey]

I've spent the past like 24 hours trying to get a good program installed that'll improve my mediocre pics i took but nothing looks how i want so i'm gonna go the opposite direction and just stylise them to cover any imperfections (like so)

[brave inlet]

guys

IT RENDERED

:)

[dense lantern]

lets fucking go

[molten osprey]

14 hours!?!

hoping this is some legendary footage

[brave inlet]

yeah

had to render at 1080p but it should look abit better as it's shot in 4k and just downscaled to 1080p rendering :D

guys how's this

[gaunt echo]

Omg can't wait to show this to everyone and be all like "I was there I was there I watched this live" and they'll be all like "th-thats nice"

[brave inlet]

hell yeah :D

[round zephyr]

god I can't wait to relive it all again

[fleet fractal]

can't wait for him to re-run the concert

[sharp shell]

Hell yesss.

Doing god's work.

[fickle surge]

[fickle surge]

I LOVE YOU

[brave inlet]

with help from my dad but yes the whole show :D

[fickle surge]

thank you so much!!!

[brave inlet]

i knew people would have wanted it, and tbh i had nothing better to do as i was rammed into the emergency exit doors lmfao

[fickle surge]

I'm gonna watch it again and again and again

[brave inlet]

hell yeah :D

<3333

[fickle surge]

https://youtu.be/5OAhr_zRcEI

[brave inlet]

[wraith path]

You’re awesome for this!

[rotund wadi]

Thanks so much for doing that definitely gonna have to watch it later!

[wraith path]

How big is the file size?

[brave inlet]

raw footage totalled to around 40GB

as it was shot in 4k

with HDR on, etc

but the render came out at 6gb

bcs it was rendered at 1080p lmao

[wraith path]

Damn lol

[brave inlet]

yeah lol

holy fuck my wifi is not liking this premiere 😭

[sharp shell]

We appreciate you!!!

[brave inlet]

im glad :)

[brave inlet]

the damn thiung broke

😭

fuck

ill fix it guys

[wraith path]

Yeah I was wondering why it was only 48 mins long damn

[brave inlet]

after effects hates me

thats why 💔

when i load the MP4 in after effects, it plays till the very end but opening it in vlc, or anything else
it dies at that same 48 minute mark

ill see what i can do 🫡
really want this to get out soon though ;-;

[wraith path]

Idk how youtube premiere works but do you have to upload the entire thing on YouTube first or does it do that during the stream

[brave inlet]

it uploads fully

then it uh

premieres

[wraith path]

Hope it gets sorted 👍

[brave inlet]

me too ;-;

ill try rendering at 4k again

take 2 ;-;

[sharp shell]

🤞

[lethal light]

GL

[round zephyr]

good luck 🫡

ae is a motherfucker lmaoo

[molten osprey]

Finally got some edits done from my pics of the show. I got plenty more I wanna do but photoshop is being aggressive with my pc's memory rn so these are what I got atm

[sharp shell]

Oh love em. Especially the underscores one.

[fleet fractal]

goes hard

[thick pivot]

work this morning 🪦

[molten osprey]

2 more!

[dreamy dawn]

I'm so sad

these are so good

[sharp shell]

Awh. So am I if that's any solace. You aren't alone.

[dreamy dawn]

yeah it's so weird how communal concerts are ?

like I have listened to these songs for over a year now on my own and to have others who get it vibe and sing with you and then you're all just not there ? going about your day

[sharp shell]

Yeah. Shared what was genuinely the happiest moment of my life with a few random people I didn't know that I met in line and will never meet again.

And bam. Back to normal life I guess.

It's been a bit of a sharp contrast, being surrounded by people who get you in ways others don't, and then just going back to normality yk.

[tacit plank]

damn yall gonna make me more sad 😭

i leave manch tomorrow too

[sharp shell]

At least it was special enough to be sad over I suppose.

(This is pure cope. Lmao.)

[dreamy dawn]

if porter taught me nothing it's that nostalgia is only good to serve you if you're willing to look forward too

can't get bogged down

ya know?

she says

crying on public transport

[molten osprey]

this is like the one other good shot of Underscores I got so I had to edit it too. also porter's bright yellow concoction he was sipping before year of the cup

[sharp shell]

What's in the cup porter???

[rotund wadi]

Probably lemon lemsip haha

[sharp shell]

Lmfao.

Good shit for flu recovery tho TBF.

[round zephyr]

that's really what's getting me tbf, knowing I'm probably not gonna see alot of these cool people i met again like damn 😭

[sharp shell]

Yeah lol. Dunno what it is about my brain that it can't just be satisfied w/ just one good interaction with someone lol.

Brains are dumb I s2g.

[round zephyr]

Same 😭

[sharp shell]

Anyway, time to eat ice-cream and listen to trying to feel alive.

\o/

[dreamy dawn]

no fuckin way I didn't even see this message Lol it just came on shuffle and reminded me of what's important like

everything sucks
but then it really doesn't suck

[sharp shell]

Maybe I don't really need to feel satisfied.

Such a good song one of my favourites.

Especially right at the start when the vocal pads or whatever they are hit.

[wise blade]

the last verse of TTFA is top 1 porter songwriting i think

[sharp shell]

Agreed. It's gorgeous.

[rotund wadi]

Even Porter said it’s the best Porter song

[sharp shell]

It's tied with the last part of 100% in the bitch tho.

Lmao.

[wise blade]

you can interpret the last verse as not just literally being about music but the "songs you write" just being your actions in life in general and how they affect other ppl and i think thats rly beautiful

[rotund wadi]

I’ve never thought of it like that, I love that

[sharp shell]

Huh, same. Ty. I like that interpretation.

[wise blade]

ya its how ive interpreted it since first listen, i know he literally is talking about himself and his music affecting people but ya

[sharp shell]

Part of the appeal of art is the way different people interpret it, even if the artist didn't originally intend it to be that way.

It's nice.

[fast shard]

I'm reminded of Fresh Static Snow's message about how of the billions of us there's realistically only a fraction of them that will make us the happiest, and to think I got to meet some of those people for a single moment in time last Friday. Shit's bittersweet man

I love FSS so much

[sharp shell]

Damn.

[rotund wadi]

Hearing FSS live gave me a newfound appreciation for it, great song

[sharp shell]

You're right tho. There was this guy who came for underscores who literally hugged the shit out of my when I shook his hand to say goodbye lol, cause he was just genuinely happy I enjoyed underscores set as much as him.

Exchanged maybe 50 words with him all in all, fucking love the guy tho.

[wise blade]

top 3 live edits

SHE

wind tempos nurture live

FSS smile edit (overtook the worlds live edit because it includes the live world edit plus rafa so skill issue)

[sharp shell]

Rafa shredding it through FSS was awesome.

So fucking good.

[rotund wadi]

After the show finished some random guy saw the Justice shirt I was wearing, said he saw them in London too, and we hugged it out haha. Will never see him again but wish him the best in life

[sharp shell]

Justice are the bomb. Good taste.

[wise blade]

and yotc

[sharp shell]

I got a compliment on my Chvrches pin, worn it for years and no one's recognised it till now. Y'all have great taste lol.

[wise blade]

tbh i find a lot of porter fans have similar music tastes

[sharp shell]

Met some bad omens, HEALTH and bilmuri fans too.

[wise blade]

justice mgmt underscores jane remover madeon etc etc that kind of sphere

[rotund wadi]

Similar but still pretty wide tastes from what I’ve seen

[sharp shell]

Really wide, I was surprised to see a fair few metalheads lol. Glad to know I'm not the only one with that overlap.

[dense lantern]

justice and madeon

[dense lantern]

i regret ending my recording right as yotc started, would've loved to record that sick guitar solo

although i think it was worth it so i could shout out the lyrics without them being picked up by my phone 😭

i love year of the cup so much

[fast shard]

Ahh I managed to hug two people after the show, it was so sweet. Shame we had to leave the venue immediately

Wonder if all concerts are like this. I always hear that Porter fans are generally really nice people

[fast shard]

Were you the one wearing the white Justice in London shirt ?

[rotund wadi]

Wait yeah lmao

[wise blade]

please tell me you two hugged and have just found eachother

because that is very wholesome

[sharp shell]

Ooh is this a reunion.

Crossing my fingers cause I'm invested now.

[dreamy dawn]

I love that those final lines are so good

[fast shard]

Ahhhh im actually the one who told you about the Hyperzine project. Hoping your guy reads this tho :')

But i am a really big Justice fan myself!

[rotund wadi]

Oh yes I remember that, I’ll have to check it out some time!

[fast shard]

Was nice seeing another Justice fan haha

I saw another one wearing the Woman World Wide shirt after the show, gave him a compliment

[dreamy dawn]

What's the hyperzine project?

[fast shard]

oh its a Justice fanzine

[dreamy dawn]

ah fair lol

[fast shard]

Someone actually managed to get a copy to Justice themselves, pretty cool lol

[dreamy dawn]

I really don't listen to electronic music outside of porter Robinson and now underscores

[sharp shell]

Justice are really good. I recommend. Also, Daft Punk (ofc), San Holo, M83, Illenium, Madeon, Anamanguchi, and Kavinsky to name a few. If you wanna look into some more electronic stuff.

[molten osprey]

Love seeing you guys all reminisce about meeting people at the concert. My social anxiety prevented me from doing that even when in a place guaranteed to be full of people who were also fans of Porter (lol).

[sharp shell]

Almost did for me too. But I was at the end of the line and a few people queuing up after me just roped me into their conversation lol.

I kinda need to be adopted by extroverts for me to say anything lmao.

[molten osprey]

Feel you there lol (though im likely to be quiet no matter what myself)

[sharp shell]

Me a few years ago tbh. I've been working on it. Takes a lot of time though.

[dreamy dawn]

Ty for the recs I'll check them out !

[dreamy dawn]

real

I went with my partner and we just hung out together but then i just kinda vibed

but everyone seemed lovely

[fast shard]

Ooh I listen to all except M83 and Kavinsky. Also a fan of Gesaffelstein

[sharp shell]

Oh, gesaffelstein is also great. Love Aleph from him.

[tacit plank]

yep tru tho

[rotund wadi]

Gesaffelstein’s new album was great I just wish it was longer 😔 it’s so short

[sharp shell]

I still haven't listened to his new one honestly.

Will do when I'm done re listening to everything porter's made, which I'll be doing for a while to try and drag out march 7th in my head.

[dense lantern]

wait did anyone get a clip of porter saying something like "damn, it's raining in manchester?" in a sarcastic way right at the start of easier to love you?

my recording starts right after that i think 😭

[wise blade]

no but i remember him saying this as consolidation 😭

[dense lantern]

LMAO well i'm glad i didn't hallucinate it at least

[sharp shell]

Damn I also just missed that in my recording. It did happen though.

Unless we're mass hallucinating.

[round zephyr]

It did happen defo. Missed it too tho gutting 😂

[tacit plank]

yeah it deffo did i was laughing at it😂😭

[sharp shell]

There's that person that got the whole show that I assume got it.

Iirc they're rendering it in 4k or smth.

[brave inlet]

❤️❤️‼️

[sharp shell]

The person themselves!

\o/

[molten osprey]

how's that going? if 1080p rendering took 14 hours I don't wanna imagine how long it takes to render in 4K.

[brave inlet]

i’m getting someone else to help me with the render so it should be up this week i hope :)

i have a system more than capable; it’s just being silly 🙁

[tacit plank]

i think ill wait for your upload to watch it back

[brave inlet]

do i upload underscores separately? i can upload underscores today :)

[tacit plank]

yeah sounds good

[brave inlet]

going to upload everything tonight :)

my edit is just too much hassle lmfao

underscores + porter + porter encore

(split over 3 videos - in the same order)

:)

[round zephyr]

[tacit plank]

[dense lantern]

it has been a week

[round zephyr]

[sharp shell]

I peaked in life and it's all downhill from here.

[rotund wadi]

Feels like the post concert feelings have finally kicked in for me

[brave inlet]

omggg hell yeah :D

[dreamy dawn]

sorry for not being chatty I was too stressed about being weird and vibes lmao

but being that close was great

[brave inlet]

its okay dont worry lmao
i was too warm and cramped into said corner with the emergancy doors </3

[brave inlet]

yeah!! :)

[fleet fractal]

​rewatching this and remembering how crazy i went when during b.o.a.t she started singing a line from del mar county fair 2008

[dreamy dawn]

perfect real and people kept walking past and it was always so stressful to let them past and they'd decide to stand in front of me being 6 ft massive lol

[fleet fractal]

one of my favourite songs by her that i knew for sure she wouldn't play but even a line being thrown in there was so cool to me

[brave inlet]

real

REAL

as fuck

im so fucking short and it'd just piss me off a little bit because they'd look at me and then stand in my way like bro </3

[fleet fractal]

(it wasn't a line it was the whole bridge)

[dreamy dawn]

yeah it was heart breaking just gotta bounce through!

or someone stands in front of U and they stand stoically still like no bounce a bit my guy

[brave inlet]

yeahhh

[fleet fractal]

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK I'M LOOKING AT CLIPS AT OTHER CONCERTS

SHE DIDN'T DO THIS AT ANY OF THE OTHER RECORDINGS I CAN FIND

it obviously wasn't just for me there was no way she'd ever know but god this makes me so thankful this is the concert i went to bc that moment meant so much to me specifically 😭

(22:55 on the uploaded video for those wondering)

[dense lantern]

didn't she say manchester was one of the best crowds she had during the tour?

m,aybe she threw it in for the dedicated fans in the audience, of which there were plenty lol

b.o.a.t is pretty close to the end of the set so the vibe would've been figured out by then

[dreamy dawn]

she did! she said it was the only crowd that knew every word

[wise blade]

omg i didnt notice the fucking del mar county fair irl

she didnt do it at other shows?

tbh she was like

giggling and smirking throughout the entire performance in manchester

i was basically at barricade so i saw

[fleet fractal]

yea i was like right at the front

my throat was killing me at the end bc i was yelling every song

[wise blade]

me irl

[light flint]

same !

[brave inlet]

take me backkkkk

[round zephyr]

miss it sm 😭😭
