Loved us all yelling that line

[inner tangle]

persona 3 ass visual

[eager obsidian]

[inner tangle]

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYIN

🤝

[heavy pelican]

LOL

[weary kestrel]

That's what I'm sayin

[heavy pelican]

🤝

[eager obsidian]

How many I would’ve ruined, if I had filmed more

Epic

[inner tangle]

I ruined my entire Madeon Echostage clip compilation by singing in nearly all of them LOL

[weary kestrel]

I was by the subwoofers getting absolutely deafened so my audio was good

[slim loom]

echostage ruins my videos for me with the bass running too loud

[heavy pelican]

Yeah me too 😅

[tropic notch]

i found it y'all!!!

[heavy pelican]

Oopsies

[weary kestrel]

UNZ UNZ UNZ UNZ

Unfold is so fucking good

[tropic notch]

best song for it to happen during

🥹

[inner tangle]

back in my room finally

ty all for putting up with me for 5 months lol

[slim loom]

https://music.apple.com/us/album/in-my-room/1709994941?i=1709995206 reference

[eager obsidian]

At least you’ll relive exactly how much you enjoyed it 🥹😂

[inner tangle]

true!

[weary kestrel]

Him and you are basically best friends now

[inner tangle]

might do a clip compilation for my porter vids, tho I didn't get many of em

made sure to record Easier to Love You and Shelter on my 3DS tho, wanted to do cheerleader but I was spent and running out of arm energy

[slim loom]

he actually wrote everything to me for sleepy specifically

[weary kestrel]

Fucking true

"Fans" is codeword for "only sleepy"

[weary kestrel]

Can't wait to hear only pure bass like the one madeon recording🥹

[slim loom]

fans 🤨

also did anyone feel like on random parts of the sets (porter and eric) you could really feel the bass

[weary kestrel]

I felt myself shaking at some points

Search and destroy twice🥹🥹

[slim loom]

for the most part it was really chill but then others 😵‍💫

feel the music literally

[weary kestrel]

Remember the Mona lisa screeching bass???

Fuck man

[slim loom]

broooooo

[weary kestrel]

New favorite Mona lisa live ver

(There's no other versions)

[slim loom]

i knew it was going to hit live

[weary kestrel]

Right???

It's such a bop on its own

[slim loom]

the one with frost children singing

i think they did on one of the stops

[inner tangle]

actually frost children have played it before- yeah

[weary kestrel]

Wtf

Frost whooo never heard of em porter made that song on his own

[deep crag]

Mona Lisa was honestly a turning point for me in the show

Like I was genuinely struggling just to see anything on stage but with that song I just said fuck it time to belt out the lyrics

[tropic notch]

😭😭😭

NOOOO

everyone deserves that song

literally everyone was sooooo nice

and everyones etiquette was soooo good!!!

i had no issues

[weary kestrel]

I didn't talk to anyone shoot man

I should've it was so chill there

[tropic notch]

someone behind me literally brushed by me and was apologizing profusely and i was like

man its ok 🥹🥹

[weary kestrel]

I lost my voice

From so much singing

Never sang that much in my life

[slim loom]

i straight up talked league with like 5 other people around me at philly

[deep crag]

I was lightheaded after nurture dude

[weary kestrel]

I knew EVERY lyric and I'm proud to have

[deep crag]

God I love nurture

[weary kestrel]

Lmao I sat down and went dizzy after nurture too

[deep crag]

No mirror tho

[weary kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/porter-robinson-star-guardian-streaming-tour-gif-26280702

[slim loom]

worlds with no flicker

[weary kestrel]

It's so over

It's so mirrover

[weary kestrel]

I KNOW

[weary kestrel]

T'is a sad day...

[slim loom]

i already knew the setlist beforehand but still 😔

[weary kestrel]

Should've just removed all of smile from the set so we could hear flicker😔

[deep crag]

Can't believe he didn't play The State

[weary kestrel]

Where is spitfire!

[slim loom]

100%itb

not even like a little tease

[weary kestrel]

When he says career spanning I expect every single song he ever made ever

[tropic notch]

cant believe they played a guy from sweden during soundcheck/before the show

😭

had me laughingggg

[weary kestrel]

He did???

A guy from sweden and I'm taking overrrr

https://tenor.com/view/porter-robinson-dance-porter-gif-13798340105622665399

[deep crag]

5k+ messages btw

[weary kestrel]

GOOD

It was a COOL night

[eager obsidian]

Yeah, I’m not surprised 😭😂

[tropic notch]

YESSS it was hilarious

[weary kestrel]

Where's our basshunter in the soundcheck

[tropic notch]

hearing porter sing mgmt was my highlight of sitting in line

at least im pretty sure it was him

would be funny if it wasn't

[inner tangle]

I was expecting him to play Easy or The Thrill, getting neither is insane but it was already a long ass set list anyways 😔

[weary kestrel]

I'm just surprised as fuck he got to fresh static snow

And the live version nonetheless

[inner tangle]

yeah

[weary kestrel]

I was jamming so hard to the rock remix of that worlds live fss

My favorite live song of his

[inner tangle]

I'm so glad I got to stay spoiler free on a lot of things

the balls were so damn sick

[deep crag]

Y'know I'm surprised he didn't play Blossom

Or like sweet time which was on that apple music playlist

[inner tangle]

I'm not, nurture has a lot of pretty songs but blossom can't really be played with a full band without sacrificing the og idea

[weary kestrel]

One of em hit me right in the head I was like wtf

[inner tangle]

surprised at no mirror tho, snubbed

oh I meant the ones onstage

[weary kestrel]

OH

[inner tangle]

the one that was bouncing in the crowd was funny

[weary kestrel]

The funny little note orbs

[inner tangle]

Yeah THOSE balls

[weary kestrel]

That was so sick

Like fuck yeah worlds live getting a sick ass treatment

And the worlds visuals too!!!!!!!!

[inner tangle]

my friend from FL has been hyping up the balls for a week now and I was like "what could he possibly mean"

[weary kestrel]

Like being all warped

[inner tangle]

nurture feels weirdly snubbed in presentation bc the nurture voice isn't even used that much

[weary kestrel]

Your friend really talking about the balls a lot

[inner tangle]

DUDE hang on lemme find the reciepts

[slim loom]

when rin started playing them

[weary kestrel]

YES

I even got souvenir tickets

That was like

My first official concert

That wasn't a dj set

5ever gr9ful

[weary kestrel]

Porter balls wtf

It's actually insane he had his own shit for each era in this set

Smile had the inflatable fox nurture had uhhhh and worlds had BALLS

[hearty fiber]

That was a cat

[weary kestrel]

Was it?

[hearty fiber]

That’s what we all think it is

[weary kestrel]

I assumed cuz kmf

Oh

I apologize

Sorry, porter fanbase

[inner tangle]

nurture had a.... uh...... voice modulator that he only used for like 1 song LOL

[weary kestrel]

Vouce modulator never gets justice😔

[hearty fiber]

Also Nurture had the keyboard for Porter (that was also used for Worlds but then again the inflatable cat stayed up for Nurture soooooooo…)

[inner tangle]

i mean ur kinda right

but idk if i really count that as a gimmick

[weary kestrel]

OK but yall remember the lights on the billboard going on as he walked past them?

Wasn't that so fucking cool

Just remembered that I was like Holy shit

[inner tangle]

it was dope

[weary kestrel]

Insane visuals

[inner tangle]

welp

[weary kestrel]

Now we know

[inner tangle]

3ds shelter

oh shit

welp

[deep crag]

I swear if that file installs some trojan

Nvm

[inner tangle]

boosh

try that?

oh my god it actually just does not work

imma have to convert this to mp4 LOL

i promise you that it's so funny

[inner tangle]

pain

[weary kestrel]

I love these vids so much

[thorn kraken]

The audio is cooked so much I love it

[thorn kraken]

AHAHAHA

[hushed bridge]

LMFAO

also. i usually rate a concert the morning i wake up, once im down from the hype of the concert, and ngl i think this was the best show ive been to

[gray bay]

I think with this tour show Porter has become an S tier live artist

There are artists who are incredible musically and there are artists who are incredible to watch live. Porter is both of those now

He was great on the nurture show of course

But this is elevated

Frankly the band elevated it

But his production chops are better too

And I think doing the setlist eras tour style helped the flow substantially too. That did not FEEL like a 2 hour show

[marsh iris]

The first band attempt (I think it was called Together Live?) was cool and all but this was peak

[gray bay]

Yeah the together live shows at second sky and Coachella seemed really neat

But this is elevated

[marsh iris]

Red Rocks remains the best I’ve ever felt and the most fun I’ve had at a show, but I think this was the best one, musicality speaking I think

[gray bay]

It helps that the smile songs are a lot more rock oriented

And he's also using the band so much more

Like the first show he did with a band, the band didn't even do language... At Coachella they rectified that but here it was like prime shot

[marsh iris]

Feel like he had to have just told Rafa yeah go nuts

FSS went insane

[gray bay]

And also adding a bassist was very smart

Especially with her also doing vocals

Like she was perfect doing the vocals for all the worlds songs and for shelter

[marsh iris]

Yeah she was damn great

Shoutout to the drummer and keyboardist too tbh

[gray bay]

Yeah they rocked

Someone near me mustve thought the keyboardist was hot AF or something the way they were talking

Idk if that's what they meant but if it is then I can see it.

And he was also very good performing

And the drums were great

[tropic notch]

i don't even remember passing out last night

[gray bay]

And I gotta say again Ericdoa had great energy

[tropic notch]

he definitely did have great energy

[gray bay]

I think my favorite part of his show was the call of duty visuals

[marsh iris]

would’ve been cool if there was time for his set to be longer

But I think MPP has a curfew

[gray bay]

Yeah it's a shame he couldn't do his full 45

[marsh iris]

was fully prepared to scream THREE BANDS, ON ME

[tropic notch]

ahhh thats why it seemed like it was so short

i definitely wanted more ericdoa for sure

[untold bronze]

i heard ericdoa started late that’s why

but man idk why that concert made me ugly cry

it did NOT help i’m fresh out of a breakup

[rain tulip]

Bruh wdym my upload hasn’t uploaded

This hotel wifi ain’t it

[gray bay]

He did but so did Porter. I think maybe they needed more time for the changeover

[rain tulip]

We got search and destroy twice tho

[gray bay]

Yeah but he cut smthn for that

I don't blame him though

[lucid cove]

i was hoping for eric to sing the valorant song 💔💔

[gray bay]

It stunk bad enough with Porter doing the league song

[lucid cove]

LMAOOODO

HE DIDNT SING HIS LEAGUE REMIX EITHERRR

the gamer inside of me was sad LMFOAOA

[thorn kraken]

Did anyone get the ericdoa opening in full?

[gray bay]

It was so crazy seeing my discord messages on the screen during Russian roulette. Thank GOD they didn't screenshot any of the dumb ones

[marsh iris]

mine just says “seems about right”

[gray bay]

I posted this during the show

[gray bay]

Shout-out my hotel this morning they had chocolate chips next to the waffle maker.

[fierce coral]

idk if this has been talked abt yet but

all the talk abt how this show wasn’t selling well and the venue looked packed af

[gray bay]

i looked at the ticketmaster page the morning of the show and id say 2/3 of the venue was sold

like the seated sections to the far left and far right were very light

but the center was pretty much booked thoroughly

so not sold out by any stretch but everyone was fairly close together in the good seats

so dense

the sales affect the balance sheet but generally not the experience unless its dire and these sales are not dire

got my pictures backed up. 148

and some more of ericdoa. i dont remember if i posted this one but its kinda cracked

or well I think its cracked

[real birch]

there were a lot of open seats actually.. it wasn’t crowded, people were easily slipping out from the pit to steal seats that weren’t taken.

Also I noticed lots of people didn’t show up until after Ericdoa’s bit, then I noticed another influx of people towards the end of SMILE.

What really irked me was that most people didn’t stand until the Worlds section. Felt disrespectful af

like why pay such expensive seats front & center if they’re gonna just sit through the whole thing lol

but yeah I noticed lots of seats weren’t sold until maybe just less than a week or two before the show, so I wonder if people mainly waited for the setlist & started buying out good seats once they noticed lots of Worlds songs were on the setlist

[gray bay]

if i had bought seats i'd probably sit for most of the show too cuz my feet hurt

need insoles or smthn

[real birch]

i get that.. but like entire friend groups were sitting

[rain tulip]

People can be tired n shit

This combined with Eric and entering the venue, it was probably like 4 hours of standin

[fierce coral]

wait what it looked like everyone was standing to me

they sat back down for the small intermissions

[rain tulip]

Yeah I didn’t really notice that, then again I wasn’t really looking behind me too much

[real birch]

like nobody was standing for ericdoa lol

[fierce coral]

oh yeah that’s just openers 😔

[real birch]

that was like “oh” and made me worry

[fierce coral]

but you said until the worlds section so i was confused

[rain tulip]

The pit was givin him all we had

[maiden folio]

it looked like most people were standing

[real birch]

people stood for smile and nurture but the most got up for worlds

[maiden folio]

before then

except for ericdoa

[rain tulip]

We were loving it

[maiden folio]

i stood up for most of it

[real birch]

yeah i loved the pit’s energy

[maiden folio]

i sat down like twice

my left leg was in so much pain after the show

[gray bay]

i thought it was funny how porter did the least stuff onstage during the worlds section

like 90% of the worlds section he aint doing anything

sometimes he plays the BALLS or the piano

[fierce coral]

just hitting da bawls

[gray bay]

he doesn't sing any of it

[maiden folio]

pretty sure he sang a bit during sad machine

[fierce coral]

he did nothing during fss 😭

[gray bay]

oh yeah he did a bit of sad machine

[maiden folio]

considering he literally does sing in sad machine

[real birch]

maybe it was just the sections around me in 200/201/202 bc I couldn’t see past that towards the 300 seats n stuff, but I felt like 200s would’ve been way more hype & yet I felt like the most hyped there for most of it 😓

[gray bay]

man literally just goofing off on the billboard while the band cooked

but band COOKED

[maiden folio]

yeah the band was so good

i didnt hear that many people singing the unfold chorus

in the seats

[real birch]

same, I think most of the singing was coming from the pit, but I was at least singing with the dude to my left 🙂‍↕️

[gray bay]

it was pretty hype near the front of the pit for most of the show

[normal mauve]

atp worlds section is a victory lap to him

[gray bay]

it was like uncomfortably dead during ericdoa though

[real birch]

YEAH

[gray bay]

and i expect the crowd to not be crazy about the opener

[fierce coral]

i agree

[gray bay]

but it felt like extreme this time

[normal mauve]

was it really? i was jamming tf out

[gray bay]

i think its because ericdoa is so hyped out on stage

[deep crag]

Dudes next to me were hyped af during Eric's set

[real birch]

i jumped out of my seat with some other dude a row in front of me like a couple times, but i got uncomfortable looking around and seeing like EVERYONE seated & silently staring (ericdoa)

[gray bay]

he playing so hard that it felt deeply wrong that the people immediately around me barely reacted

[fierce coral]

it felt this way during james ivy back in nurture also tbh

[maiden folio]

dude ericdoa was absolutely fire

[real birch]

YEAH

james ivy also got lotsa stares back at the concert i went to

but it was more noticeable this time bc ppl were seated

[maiden folio]

my dad who went with me was so stiff other than head nods it was honestly kinda intimidating 💀

[normal mauve]

i would be losing my shit if I could see james ivy live god damn

[gray bay]

and the crazy thing is all those people will be bumping ericdoa once porter drops his next album and it sounds like that

[maiden folio]

hes just like that though

hes does not have a wild personality whatsoever

[real birch]

YUP

someone’s dad next to me (who got up and left after ericdoa never to be seen again) was texting his daughter in pit or smth like “Ericdoa is boring AF” and “this place is like a Trump rally”

[gray bay]

they aint see many trump rallies

[hearty fiber]

I think they meant in crowd size

[real birch]

dude was mad weird trying to chat me up about famous musicians and djs he knew. how new dj’ing wasn’t as active as old school dj’ing. how he’d rather be at the Anthem instead of Merriweather. he smelled so bad too. i was so glad he left

[gray bay]

you dont know what they meant

[gray bay]

man shouldnt have bought a damn ticket then

[real birch]

Me in my lil twinky my melody hat: “yeah.. cool…”

[rain tulip]

https://youtu.be/FE2HbeYe35g finally

took it long enough

[gray bay]

porter on the cup

what i'm wondering tho is what was in there

[real birch]

you are God’s strongest soldier

[gray bay]

like is it REALLY none of my goddamn business

is it really

[real birch]

but all that said about the bad stuff, I thought that show was fucking brilliant & so stellar beyond what words could do justice for it. The fact we went through every major era was like.. oh my fuck

[gray bay]

phone microphone making it another day sounds great

[real birch]

ericdoa brought the energy & porter was flying through every emotion

[rain tulip]

yeah the audio sounds great on it

[gray bay]

man rafa was SHREDDING that shit during fresh static

[rain tulip]

god bless loud but not like CRAZY loud production

[gray bay]

yeah the volume at the venue was tuned perfectly

[real birch]

i was impressed by that too

[gray bay]

i was a little worried during knock yourself off because it was a little bass heavy for that one and couldnt really hear the instruments

but perfect pinterest garden sounded perfect and it was like that rest of the show

[real birch]

porter went so fucking hard on the visuals

[marsh iris]

the confetti was fun lol

[real birch]

also the bassist (forgot her name) was phenomenal at singing, especially the worlds bits

[fierce coral]

margot

[gray bay]

oh i almost forgot about the confetti i stuffed in my bag

[real birch]

margot!!!

[rain tulip]

MARGOT !!!!

[hearty fiber]

Can I please have the raw footage for the compilation of the TTS saying the city's name during the intro to RR I'm making?

[rain tulip]

the iphone codec or whatever makes it unviewable on other stuff, if you can work around that i'll send it in

[hearty fiber]

Just DM me a download link with the file sharing service of your choice

[rain tulip]

aight

[gray bay]

Normal person here unfolding my confetti

[real birch]

totally normal fan behavior

[rain tulip]

just me and my confetti hearts

[gray bay]

smile tour rare confetti everyone bidding starts at $230 for the lot

[rain tulip]

did ya'll get a little coaster lookin thing from the lounge

[real birch]

i have a heart and some dirt from the premium seating. $130

[gray bay]

lowballing like crazy

[marsh iris]

they broke the balls we guarded

(Porter knocks over the worlds balls)

[real birch]

[gray bay]

its kinda crazy how he only played goodbye to a world legit three times through the whole nurture tour counting secret sky

and the other two were coachella

legit as opposed to doing it on the piano at the end

[marsh iris]

you mean the sad amogus song?

[rain tulip]

I stole this

[gray bay]

im telling porter

[marsh iris]

That’s sick

[real birch]

shout out to the dude with VIP to my right who randomly sat in my vacant seat & just stared at his phone messaging someone on discord the entire night

[marsh iris]

Were they actually checking tickets for the VIP lounge access? Or just the lanyard

[rain tulip]

the lounge gives you a wristband

a special one

[real birch]

NAUU THAT SHI IS SO COOL

[rain tulip]

if you have that, you're allowed in

[marsh iris]

An employee tried to direct me to the lounge and I was like uhh my ticket doesn’t have that

And she had no idea what I was talking about

[real birch]

aw :( shoulda went with it

[rain tulip]

nah, my dad and sister had lounge tickets, the person at the door was checking for those wristbands

you would've walked all the way there for nothin

[real birch]

damn

[flat fjord]

i got a question, my show is tonight, and my VIP ticket in ticketmaster doesn’t have a barcode, was it the same for you guys?

[gray bay]

the tickets for our show released 3 days before

and i think yours were supposed to as well

[flat fjord]

yea like i got the GA ticket with barcode and all but my vip one doesn’t have a barcode, i was thinking maybe they verify people by checking them in with ID instead of scanning something?

[gray bay]

you should probably contact Ticketmaster and VIPNation and ask them about this. My VIP ticket had a barcode

they verify VIP access by ID but you still have to scan the ticket at the gate

[limber dirge]

I didn't have VIP, but my mobile ticket also didn't have a barcode. They tapped my phone to scan it, like tap to pay.

[gray bay]

mine had that too but it had a barcode option as well and they made me use that for whatever reason

if your ticket is just straight not available then you should definitely contact ticketmaster and vipnation

2019 - 2023 is crazy

idk why he didnt put 2020 because there are no songs from 2019 in that section

worlds said 2012 - 2016 which is valid because he played language and shelter (it was an encore but lets go with it and say its that section)

[rain tulip]

i think it was more about the album being worked on around that time

or announced i mean

like the ERA kinda started there

[gray bay]

he should've just been consistent by going by when his hair was dyed

[rain tulip]

and worlds and language were kinda grouped into one

to make things easier

[gray bay]

and rename the sections to
SMILE
Blonde
Emo ass hair

[rain tulip]

Blonde era

Fuckboy era

[gray bay]

i hope he plays nights

[rain tulip]

White Ferrari (Nurture Live Edit)

[hearty fiber]

The album wasn’t announced until January 2020

[gray bay]

his hair was dyed well before that tho

and the haircut is what decides it

thats why its no question when smile era REALLY started

[marsh iris]

Clown wig next era

[rain tulip]

https://www.reddit.com/r/porterrobinson/comments/iuzm5s/possible_nurture_snippet/ i mean if we wanna be technical, this was the first bit of nurture we got

in 2019

[hearty fiber]

I stand corrected

[rain tulip]

as for worlds starting in 2012, i got nothin

he just adjusted it for language

[gray bay]

I can't say I mind that one honestly because those records are clearly cut from the same cloth

Hello everyone here is my Smile world tour merch haul.

The rolling at the rock show shirt is very yellow this picture just has funny lighting

[tropic notch]

i wish i was able to get more but the sizing made me cry

i wanted the tie dye sweater, hoodie, and one of the tshirts but only the hoodie was remotely close to my size

[gray bay]

It legitimately makes me so mad how bad the merch stock was

Like wtf

We aren't even halfway through the tour and they're already out of shit

And theres no compensation for the lack of stock. Like they didn't give me any alternate option for buying those clothes

What I would have liked to see is an option to buy open preorders for those designs

So that I could get the shirt eventually

[deep cloud]

It isn't like a third of the way done lol

I'm just glad they had the stupid Rolling at the rock show shirt lol

[fierce coral]

it’s joever

[deep cloud]

I hope some of it atleast gets put on the store or something

[gray bay]

Lowkey I was gonna buy three shirts and that was one of them

So I ain't too mad

[deep cloud]

I was going to get one of everything lol

[deep cloud]

I really wanted the I had a dream shirt

[gray bay]

HAHAHA

[twin hinge]

sorry if i missed smth but that was a FUCK OF A SHOW

OMFG

[gray bay]

Yeah I really wanted that one and the other one like that

Those two and rolling at the rock show were the ones I wanted

But I guess its chill because I wasn't expecting Ericdoa merch and it freed me up to buy that

[twin hinge]

is it just me or were the lead keys in songs detuned?

*some songs

[gray bay]

For a brief moment in the line before i saw the size signs I was fully prepared to buy like 5 things

[deep cloud]

I got a I had a dream from the cheerleader capsule drop

[gray bay]

The tour version is a little bit different and I prefer the tour one

[deep cloud]

I agree

But atleast I have one lol

They had like no larges of any of the other good merch

[inner tangle]

having the rofo chickenpalooza shirt as part of the haul is sone sick work LOL

[marsh iris]

My brother got the rolling at the rock show shirt and I had to explain to him what rolling means

He had no idea lmao

[gray bay]

I couldn't believe it was 2 dollars

[inner tangle]

wait what

that's a steal wtf

[frozen spear]

fwiw:

• someone on the subreddit said a worker told them abt 5k ppl out of 19k was at the venue
• my own counts w the ticketmaster trick shows that 9.5k tickets were remaining, which would mean double what the worker said, but idk if ticketmaster artificially capped the venue at 15k ppl then

[gray bay]

My expectation is that a lot of merriweather capacity is lawn and my expectation is also that they didn't sell remotely close to the maximum number of lawn tickets

I didn't see the lawn very much but when I was leaving there was like almost NOBODY up there

What I should say more accurately is that it seemed like 2/3 of the seated area looked sold

[inner tangle]

so usually what happens is that people that arrive at lawn hella early randomly get selected to be upgraded to seats, that's what happened to like 6 of my friends in lawn

and according to them, it worked out incredibly well for them bc lawn filled up very quickly before Porter began

[gray bay]

It was probably really easy for them to do that with this show on account of how so many seats were wide open on the left and right

[inner tangle]

I mean when I went to see Two Door Cinema Club at a similar venue in Baltimore, the same thing happened with my friends, they got upgraded to seats from lawn bc we got there hella early

so it really just depends on the venue and how much they sell, but it looks like lawn only gets crazy before the headliner goes on?

[frozen spear]

ahhhh interesting

[gray bay]

If you're buying 30 dollar tickets you probably don't give a fuck either way

At that point you're going even if you don't care much about the artist

So it makes sense the people buying that would show up later

They don't care if they miss an opener or something

[gray bay]

I figured it was deep discount because the price tag was clearly covering the original price

Shockingly people don't seem to want royal farms merch

[inner tangle]

I mean it looks tacky as hell

also tbh I pledged my allegiance to Wawa long ago, and their merch looks way better

[deep cloud]

It was so sad that like no one was singing along with Hollowheart

[inner tangle]

well it's a very new song, I don't expect everyone to remember the lyrics

definitely got emotional tho during it, was the closest I got to getting teary eyed aside from Goodbye to a World

[slim loom]

people near me were talking through it :(

whoever was on guest vocals, margot? did so well

[normal mauve]

had a spiritual moment during hollowheart

eyes closed, hands in the air, just feeling

[marsh iris]

I gotta remark that I always appreciate how many other queer people are at these shows

I hope that’s not weird to say but it’s nice to see people who are like me for once 😭

[inner tangle]

ur good homie

[gentle ferry]

I was really shocked by how queer this crowd was! We were kinda out in force

[inner tangle]

I feel like there's a lot of queer people at Porter/Madeon shows, so I fully expected it

[marsh iris]

All the Porter shows I’ve been to have been like that, only been surpassed by the 100 gecs show

Where I think cishets were the minority lmao

[gentle ferry]

Ig ive only seen him in ohio and at echostage so 🤷🏾‍♀️

[rain tulip]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0-3qM5SSNQ another derek w

if only i knew he was there, that's nuts

[gentle ferry]

a 100gecs audience would almost certainly have a cishet minority lol

[marsh iris]

You wanna know the funniest fuckin part lol

[hearty fiber]

WHY WASN'T HE AT FOREST HILLS?

[marsh iris]

9:30 club was doing security check “by gender”

Or trying to

[gentle ferry]

LMAOOO

[marsh iris]

They could NOT figure this crowd out lol

[hearty fiber]

Me having to explain why the "DC" show isn't in DC proper in my RR intro compilation:

[slim loom]

wait

ohhhhh

that was derek next to me

[slim loom]

i feel so bad i met him at zeddknock

[gentle ferry]

No way they didnt just give that up after 3 mins

[inner tangle]

bingo

[gentle ferry]

Also my post is up! https://www.instagram.com/p/C_8d1KXvSuO/?igsh=MTUycXV5MnNkdWd0ZQ==

[normal mauve]

felt the same way :) echostage was too uncomfy to dress like myself but i felt so welcomed and appreciated by the crowd and ppl around me

shoutout to the gays & theys

[gentle ferry]

@marsh iris @inner tangle @real birch and some others (i was tipsy and generally bad w names) are in it! Lmk if u want tht pic taken down

[inner tangle]

oh I'm totally chill with it

[fierce coral]

idk how much yall would be interested but do you think we could make like a dmv porter crew group dm or something

[gentle ferry]

Or to b tagged 🫢

[inner tangle]

you can tag me on IG too if u want

I'll hit ya with a follow

[gray bay]

Bro all of america was at this show wtf

[rain tulip]

unfortunate i couldn't meet the man himself

[inner tangle]

we're just built different

I stg I knew like a billion people there, not just from discord but like from IRL too

saw friends from Virginia and even from high school there, it was trippy

[marsh iris]

I’ve just been wearing regular dude fits cause my brother has been at both the shows with me lmao

[slim loom]

north coast

[gentle ferry]

@marsh iris yeppp it b like tht

[gentle ferry]

Like this crowd was so amazing! Was not expecting the difference to be this huge but this is my fav porter concert of all time

[marsh iris]

I think he’s be chill I’m just lazy and anxious ya know

[gray bay]

Seeing Porter with a band was the dream show and it delivered

And the venue so nice too

And it's literally across the street from a MALL with a POPEYES

Godsend

[normal mauve]

idk how im supposed to go back to normal life now

like, that was my one smile show

should've planned to go to Pittsburgh today

on second thought I wouldn't be able to handle that so soon after 😭😭

[gentle ferry]

@marsh iris My only reference is my brother was the first person i came out to as bi, then we had a trans sequel a few years later

Both times he was just like “word 👍🏾”

[gentle ferry]

Impossible challenge, just crossing my fingers and slowly regaining my serotonin

[normal mauve]

what's the chances he runs it back in dc....

[marsh iris]

I can only imagine my siblings reaction would be “no fucking shit”

[maiden folio]

on my Twitter feed I saw a video of someone with a fursuit head on in the GA 😭

[inner tangle]

no no no def don't go two days in a row, I have a friend that was in Philly on Friday and then Columbia last night, they are completely wiped now and have no energy anymore

[inner tangle]

unlikely unless he does a NA tour round 2 next year

[maiden folio]

that takes dedication

[normal mauve]

pleaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeee

[inner tangle]

DJ set maybe but another headliner is unlikely, esp since Porter didn't sell out that hard

[marsh iris]

I saw two people in full suits lol

[maiden folio]

that's insane

[slim loom]

i disagree

[maiden folio]

like it wasn't hot in there even though I had a hoodie with a t-shirt on underneath and I was at the seats but like imagine being in the GA around a whole bunch of people in a full fursuit

[hearty fiber]

I could see him doing a bunch of festivals next year

[slim loom]

if i only went to the md show i would've had unlimited fomo from the next shows but now i'm quite content

[frozen spear]

i could imagine maybe a 2nd NA leg with a lot less dates but maybe the same size venues or maybe sliiightly bigger if possible

[slim loom]

(granted i am still completely exhausted)

[frozen spear]

like i could imagine a 10 date final run or something and that ends with second sky? idk

[inner tangle]

yeah this is the only thing I could see happening, def way less dates for sure

[hearty fiber]

Also a bunch of festivals to boot

[frozen spear]

festivals followed by headlines in the main cities

[inner tangle]

kinda like how Madeon had GFF running last year but to a much lesser degree

and only headliners at very specific venues

[slim loom]

has he played smile at any fests yet or will acl be the first

[inner tangle]

acl is the first

[frozen spear]

i could imagine the era closing out that way, a final NA leg that ends with second sky in like september/october next year

[slim loom]

i feel like its so hard to cut anything from the tracklist

[frozen spear]

(unless if australia and SA didnt get the shows yet at that point)

[inner tangle]

I could come up with a tracklist of cuts

but it's mostly slower songs

like unfold and everything to me

the latter especially since it's targeted to his fans, which a majority of the crowd at a fest wouldn't resonate with as much

[slim loom]

cutting smile songs

[inner tangle]

you gotta

[slim loom]

everything to me had the confetti he can't cut it

[inner tangle]

he performs the entire album, so you gotta condense the show either down to an hour or an hour and a half

[slim loom]

or did it 🤔

[inner tangle]

I thought the confetti was for KYO and Cheerleader

[slim loom]

o ye

and rr

[maiden folio]

and rr

ye

[inner tangle]

actually

small fan u have the actual track list pic

post that again

[maiden folio]

I wish mother was part of the set

[inner tangle]

ok first off

@rain tulip here's your track list

second off lemme cross off what could be cut imo

[gray bay]

See you in 2 or 3 years ✌️

[slim loom]

he'll come back for moonrise guys it's ok

[inner tangle]

I'm looking at this now

I wanna cut Hollowheart just for pacing but unfortunately it has the transition into Language, so

[gray bay]

The festival show is gonna be funny. He LITERALLY had to cut it in half

[inner tangle]

it is so hard to cut songs from this

the nurture and worlds sections are like the greatest hits so what could realistically be done away with

the only thing I can cut realistically from Worlds is FSS but it's such a good track, how can you get rid of it

[slim loom]

there's a lot of ad libbed parts he could cut like the unfold chorus

[gray bay]

Most obvious cuts probably
Pinterest Garden
Year of the Cup
Everything to me
Everything Goes On
Ttfa (??)
Hollowheart
And I'm all out already

Probably a LOT of songs get truncated down

[inner tangle]

I don't think they cuz TTFA or EGO

[gray bay]

I agree ttfa will probably stay

[inner tangle]

GYW maybe but TTFA is TTFA x LATS, so

[frozen spear]

my theory for acl is this

kyo xd
musician (shortened)
sc
kitsune maison
ego
gyw
easier to love you
ttfa / lats
divinity (shortened)
language
gtaw (shortened)
sad machine
shelter
russian roulette
cheerleader

he only has 1hr so he gets rid of the whole "sections" stuff (including the transitions) which helps save some time. worlds would probably stay all around the same place near the end bc of how the balls are used

but ngl this is still reeeally tight

[gray bay]

he's already not doing nurture singles. What's another

[frozen spear]

i genuinely dk how he'll do that show lol

[gray bay]

RIP mirror

I would guess unfold goes for fests

That's probably the one

[frozen spear]

i love unfold but its a loooong one

[gray bay]

Very long

[inner tangle]

this is true

alright lemme take into account that transitions might not matter

[gray bay]

It might be for the best to get some old shit in early at festivals cuz it's not a captive audience

Can't make them wait for worlds they will go to the next stage over

[inner tangle]

this makes me feel sick to my stomach

I gotta cut down the longer songs though

[gray bay]

Divinity will go before gtaw

[slim loom]

mona lisa will not be cut

[inner tangle]

Mona Lisa ideally isn't cut but if I have to cut more, it's on the list

[gray bay]

He didn't play divinity in 2023

Literally

[slim loom]

he could honestly cut all the intros

[inner tangle]

nah I feel like they're short enough to keep

you look at full set VODs with timestamps and they barely take up any of the run time

crackhead idea tho, what if he mashes up more songs into each other

[frozen spear]

no australia was the only place he played it at

[inner tangle]

kinda like how for GFF, Hugo had to do DDD x Icarus instead of DDD/Same Sunrise into Icarus

[gray bay]

Played it only at the show that was like 2 hours

[slim loom]

wait he's gotta trim a whole hour

that's half the set

[gray bay]

So if he doesn't have 2 hours he doesn't have divinity

[inner tangle]

yeah you gotta trim half of it

you gotta be liberal with cuts and shortened songs

[gray bay]

Literally half

[frozen spear]

i kept divinity (shortened) in bc i feel like the worlds representation would be so little otherwise lmao

[inner tangle]

yep

[fierce coral]

all he has to do it cut out the smile section :)

[frozen spear]

:)

[inner tangle]

from the smile world tour

gotcha

[fierce coral]

[gray bay]

It's barely the smile world tour now. Career spanning setlist comes first on the ads

[marsh iris]

how can he call it career spanning if he doesn’t play The State

[frozen spear]

i just realized looking at this techincally there are more nurture songs than smile lol

[gray bay]

I agree

[inner tangle]

nurture pilled

[real birch]

this is the solution /j

:)

[real birch]

yeah didn’t play “still here (with the ones I came with)” smfh

[gray bay]

Ok I think I got it figured out

[marsh iris]

Hear the Balls wasn’t even played

[real birch]

yeah wtf

porter played with his balls on stage and still didn’t play his most iconic ball song

[fierce coral]

the few im surprised he didnt play were flicker and easy

[real birch]

me too actually

[gray bay]

Every smile song except for year of the cup, easier to love you, everything to me.
For the nurture section, something comforting and get your wish. And that's it. Trying to feel the sky at shows that behave.
For worlds, language, sad machine, shelter. That's it. Beatings will continue until morale improves

[real birch]

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-40k-space-marine-helmet-warhammer-40k-space-marine-astartes-spacem-arine-armor-gif-9266730404172402530

[tropic notch]

to me it was perfect and i wouldn't have changed a single thing

🥹

[real birch]

i agree, i’m like totally joking with any bit of critique really. I thought the show was so perfect really

[gray bay]

Ok this was a joke but ACTUALLY. Studio versions of these songs. This gets you under an hour. You can even keep Easier to love you, and TTFA, and it's still under an hour.

[inner tangle]

same

[gray bay]

Without cutting verses this is 59 minutes

[real birch]

Porter at the end going “and now i’m gonna play my favorite song…”

[100% begins to play]

[inner tangle]

he did this at the Boston show apparently before cheerleader

[real birch]

LOL WHAT

[gray bay]

If you trim individual songs down you could probably manage to fit in maybe one more song for nurture or worlds or maintain the intros

[inner tangle]

said "here's my favorite song of all time, 100% in the bitch"

and then cheerleader came on

[real birch]

LMFAO oh that’s beautiful still

[inner tangle]

close enough

[tropic notch]

i might just start learning guitar just bc of the guitar pick honestly

[inner tangle]

@real birch my b, he did not say his favorite song but the fakeout still happened https://youtu.be/ApyYyqrL070?si=Az98mZHXw4mTO6Xc

[tropic notch]

we could've had this...

[marsh iris]

Two of my favorite songs I know I’m never seeing live - dullscythe and fullmoon lullaby

I’m cooked

[normal mauve]

REALLLLLLL

[inner tangle]

fullmoon might happen in Japan honestly

[normal mauve]

im so so glad i got to hear hollowheart bc i know hes probably never playing that live again. cherishing that fr

[rain tulip]

fml WAS in nurture live the last couple shows so like

there's a chance

[marsh iris]

WHAT

[inner tangle]

wait what

[rain tulip]

nurture shows

[marsh iris]

damn

[inner tangle]

so like at the nurture aus shows?

[rain tulip]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e43twIP_5c8

[gray bay]

He started playing it in Japan and just never took it out

[inner tangle]

badass

[gray bay]

South Korea did not get full moon lullaby but Mexico did

[real birch]

fucking incredible

[hearty fiber]

I wonder if the intro to RR is gonna be changed if they cut out the last song on the album.

[rain tulip]

wouldn't be that hard of a change honestly

just cut out that "last song of the album"

and just say "the SMILE! portion is coming to a close"

[gray bay]

Sorry we ran out of time because we put in goodbye to a world. It's gonna cut into don't kill yourself idiot

[real birch]

what if porter just does his whole concert despite the time restrictions, and an hour into it he has to continue performing while his entire team + rika starts fighting off security as they battle to cut the power to the show

[slim loom]

there isn't anyone playing after him tbf

(at that stage)

[inner tangle]

wait really

dude that changes everything

this could be a 1.5 hour set

[frozen spear]

looking at this i think theyve purposely alternated sets so idk

[maiden folio]

im gonna begin the process of downloading my recordings onto my pc

except for my year of the cup recording cause holy fuck my phone really did not want to cooperate

you could hear me singing horribly so clearly 💀

having such a deep voice is a curse its impossible to sing good istg

[hearty falcon]

Lmao I witnessed that.

[gritty totem]

thank god for derekd2

[slim loom]

off you go

[inner tangle]

popeye's BITCH

[deep crag]

oh yeah shout out popeyes at the mall

ordered a 3 count got a 7

[inner tangle]

got around to hanging up my VIP badge/lanyard along with all my con badges/lanyards and now I have the distinct "pleasure" of having Porter's face stare at me until my next con in January

[gritty totem]

Got this last night

[maiden folio]

they FUCKING KILLED IT

[normal mauve]

that first pic.... so fucking beautiful

was too busy jamming to truly appreciate that image

[maiden folio]

and sad machine i just realized after looking back at my recordings

i also noticed the really cool firework visuals on the billboard

[inner tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/persona-3-persona-3-dancing-persona-3-dancing-gun-gif-16927549799373948788

[gritty totem]

the photo while videoing feature is a blessing

also

apparently my cousins that were lawn got told to stop recording by security

[inner tangle]

weird ass security

[gritty totem]

well i know @rain tulip got told to stop recording at the madeon dj set cause his team was doing it or something so who knows maybe same thing

Porter movie on disney+ OTW

[rain tulip]

actually, Hugo's tour manager messaged me saying that definitely was NOT supposed to happen

[gritty totem]

Ohhh wtf

[inner tangle]

oh

[gritty totem]

lol that’s weird

[rain tulip]

it was just the staff being dicks

[gritty totem]

Apparently it was during hollow heart

[normal mauve]

weird

[rain tulip]

they might've seen the cameras that hugo was using up there and assumed

[inner tangle]

that's probably why hugo gave a very non-specific answer about keeping the audio/video

[normal mauve]

"when people drink alcohol, they react!"

[gritty totem]

and like someone came up to them and was like “Yeah you can’t record up here” cause they were up in the balcony type area

[normal mauve]

if we get a smile tour concert movie.... its over for me

need that in my life

[maiden folio]

with all the taylor swift inspiration it could be possible maybe

[normal mauve]

pleaaaaaase

i did notice there was a LOT of ppl with cameras up front

idk if that's the norm but there was like 4 or 5

[gray bay]

if he doesnt tape this tour then idk what he's doing

[crystal hill]

Hey anyone took pictures from the last night?

[gentle ferry]

@crystal hill I would scroll up if i were u

[crystal hill]

Okay

[rain tulip]

you can straight up hear me saying the whole monologue in my recording

you're probably in there too

[normal mauve]

i got the timing all wrong and was speaking too fast so you can probably hear me lol

[gray bay]

I was fully prepared to shout at the top of my lungs the last line from the interviewer but it didn't play

[hearty falcon]

Along with the recording EXXO and Derek has done, here's a couple others that were uploaded too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAqvcWBJkYY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIR8WxXtByU

[slim loom]

we really got

FOUR

RECORDINGS

[hearty falcon]

YEP

[weary kestrel]

That was a beautiful time man

So uh

When's the 4th album

[real birch]

four recordings lfg

[rain tulip]

i was scared we'd get NONE

that's the reason i was adamant on doing it lmao

the nurture show for DC still has no full recording, and the entire reason was i forgot my charger

[hearty fiber]

This is why I’ve been bugging people to record the intro to RR because I’m afraid I won’t have footage of it from every show for my compilation of the TTS saying the city’s name out loud.

[rain tulip]

Yeah according to my recording tracker, there’s one show that doesn’t have a FULL recording so far

Makin me anxious n shit

[hearty fiber]

I kinda want one of the mods to make an announcement about it but spoiler embargo

Also if you don’t mind sharing that list with me that would be appreciated

[normal mauve]

DC, COLUMBIA, DMV, WHERE ARE WE? I DONT KNOW is so funny

[real birch]

it’s so fucking funny & true lol

[rain tulip]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xtoHLPwbXB7uF0MH4kQrkHrbYvY8vat90tESn6XPUnE/edit?usp=sharing

[hearty fiber]

Would’ve been a lot easier if Live Nation didn’t advertise this as the Washington DC show

[real birch]

live nation

[chrome mason]

One of many pics that havent uploaded yet from the columbia set

[inner tangle]

was getting real Icarus vibes from the background for this part of the set

https://tenor.com/view/yes-madeon-coachella-we-did-it-yeah-gif-25487589

[chrome mason]

I love Icarus ugh

Madeon is peak at visuals

[normal mauve]

this part of the set actually felt like a dream

cannot believe that was real

we're so back

[chrome mason]

that, russian roulette, and cheerleader felt unreal

so did language

and... and... uhhh almost every song tbh

[hearty fiber]

The next era better blow our socks off

[chrome mason]

The haircut is a nice start

slaying with the fuck ass bob

[hearty falcon]

me: man i wish i attended the nurture and worlds tour

porter: i gotchu

but damn that was a good show

[inner tangle]

literally same

my fomo is now quenched

the only tour I have massive fomo from is shelter live, but that's never happening again so it's w/e

[hearty falcon]

knew there had to be at least some songs, given smile album is ~14 minutes shorter than the previous two but whole dedicated sessions? OVER AN HOUR OF IT? Wish I was still there lmao

[real birch]

i wish i woke up and we were all back at the concert again for round 2

[umbral field]

i cannot sit here and wait for another tour

im fiending for more

[weary kestrel]

2026 shelter live anniversary just you wait

[thorn thicket]

Look at my discord banner lol

I made it porter themed

[real birch]

amazing

[rain tulip]

anyone who looks at your discord banner finna get like 4 seconds of visuals spoiled for themselves

[thorn thicket]

Oh

Sad

[chrome mason]

Some other pics from DC

my little smartphone camera did its best

[thorn thicket]

That’s so good

[limber dirge]

This is my fav pic I took from the Columbia show!

[weary kestrel]

Best fuckin part of the smile portion

Sorry for shaky cam I was jamming so hard

[chrome mason]

How close were you?

[limber dirge]

I was 5 rows back in the seated area. It was great! I really like Merriweather pavilion

[chrome mason]

I got pretty good seats too

wish i was in the pit tho

[limber dirge]

I feel u except even in the seats I was craning my neck a bit. If anyone has any recs for ultra platform boots HMU!! I wanna do pit again someday without staring at people’s backs the whole time 😭

[maiden folio]

the seats were uncomfortable as hell if im being honest

i preferred standing

next opportunity im just gonna get pit tickets

[inner tangle]

if you're short, you gotta either find a window to look through between people or you just gun it to the front railing

case in point: i'm 5'5/5'6

[chrome mason]

I always feel bad about the shorties when I go to concerts because I try no to be a giraffe but i can't help it

[limber dirge]

You’re 5”/6” taller than I am 🥲🥲🥲

[inner tangle]

yeah you basically gotta find the pocket or gun it to the front

could even ask people in front of you if you can go to the rail

that's what my two shorter friends did

[slim loom]

stand in a seat ezpz

[gray bay]

Jump on stage for the best view

If he kicks you off that means he hates his fans

[limber dirge]

I think porter fans are really nice but I’ve definitely been to shows where everyone’s butthurt about getting the “perfect” spot in the pit

[gray bay]

There wasn't a single moment on Saturday where I felt like I had a bad view

I guess that VIP was worth it cuz the whole time when I was at the nurture show I was like damn my view sucks

[fierce coral]

dc shows have been like that in my experience where people are a little inconsiderate abt spots in da pit 😔

esp when the headliner starts and u have like groups of people push to the front

[gray bay]

There was like 2 minutes right before Porter went on where it was uncomfortably dense near the front

Some people gotta learn to step back a little

[marsh iris]

oh shoutout the guy that was walking around with a shirt and having people draw on it

there was like 4 amoguses on it

[gray bay]

Can't stop thinking about this

[deep crag]

dude i genuinely couldn't move in any direction for a solid 5 minutes before the set started

then of course someone a foot taller gets in front of me as it starts

[gentle sand]

i was near the back-center of the pit and some dude was repeatedly pushing me for the 2nd half of the show

it became annoying rlly quick

[tropic notch]

at some point there were people pushing their way to the front yeah

i was up front leaning on the rail because i was having some baaaaad pain but I was pretty short compared to everyone around me and i tried to stay out of peoples way

[scarlet compass]

bruh i had the same situation

where one guy literally could not stay in one spot, and was bothering both me, my friend that i came with, and a couple we met that were behind us

literally had to yell at the guy to stay at one spot

[hearty falcon]

everything about this show was great, tho was unfortunate that the merch was relatively low stock at our venue, even completely missing a few pieces. (rip worlds 2 shirt my beloved)

[slim loom]

felt a little light on worlds tracks but i'm still extremely grateful we them at all

best porter robinson show to date

[hearty falcon]

mhm absolutely. we got over an hour of nurture/worlds which was soooo nice after missing the last tours. wish he played in virginia so i didn't have to travel lmao. he played at richmond for nurture which was perfect but not this time >.<

absolutely worth the travel

[normal mauve]

manifesting another leg of the smile tour where he goes to richmond

[deep crag]

it'd have to be at vacu or the new amphitheater but imagine him playing at the national

goddddddamn that'd be insane to see

[marsh iris]

could be worse though

imagine he plays Norfolk

[normal mauve]

im so grateful to have seen that show but holy shit it'd be such a dream for him to come back around again

[crystal hill]

I wish he come back in the anthem

[hearty falcon]

Lmao hey now what you got against Hampton Roads, jkjk, but he could of very well played at the Amphitheater in Virginia Beach. That's even closer to me

Think it's a bit smaller when compared to the Columbia show but still lol

Oh nvm they're both advertised as a 20k venue i guess lol

[real birch]

please, god

it did feel smaller when I went for Nurture, but iirc compared to Merriweather, VCUL had a very large pit & the seating was further back

[gray bay]

He should come back for a round 2 and only do venues with funny names

[deep crag]

Am I the only one that finds Jiffy Lube Live to be a funny name?

[real birch]

jiffy lube live lol

man who tf naming these places

[gray bay]

Extremely funny name imo

[deep crag]

Then it's perfect for round 2

[azure cobalt]

i want a virtual self x milkfish set at union stage

b2b

[inner tangle]

Jiffy Lube

[real birch]

[marsh iris]

you would not catch me attending jiffy lube live

getting in and out of that place makes it not worth it

[high flame]

this MIGHT kill someone

[azure cobalt]

underscores with porter but only in europe eric was good i just love april's music so much

[limber dirge]

Does anyone have any upcoming shows/concerts you’re looking forward to? I just got into going to concerts this year and I think I’m addicted

In the DMV area 😆

[slim loom]

rl grime b2b isoxo but its sold out and zedd the same night but also sold out :((

if you like the artists though might be worth buying resale

[hearty fiber]

Whoever is willing to pay the most amount of money

[normal mauve]

im in this picture :3

[rain tulip]

ah hell nah bro tweakin

(it's me, i'm bro)

[inner tangle]

the crossed out ones are shows I have tickets for

btw Zedd resale isn't horrible

getting a resale ticket through axs runs you about $80, which is a bit over the original asking price but you can definitely also just get in touch with other people selling tickets directly via discord

[hearty falcon]

i think i see me but i'm not 100% sure if its me lmao

[gray bay]

I think I'm behind one of them

[hearty falcon]

i could be behind the dudes arm on the right as well lol

4th row somewhere. can't tell which row is 4th lol

[rain tulip]

Only got these 3 up next

[hearty falcon]

might be me, cause hat and black shirt. (Good Faith Forever shirt) lol

[rain tulip]

still waitin for that VIP experience at the VR show to be available

[hearty falcon]

Wait what VR show?

[rain tulip]

the one(s) at soundcheck

[hearty falcon]

Oh Virtual Riot. I was thinking like there was another Virtual Reality show Porter did lol

[deep crag]

Definitely trying to catch Machine Girl in November personally

And Gwar

[rain tulip]

[scarlet compass]

zedd @ anthem & rl grime b2b isoxo @ echostage (yes i’m going to both 😵‍💫)

wave to earth @ filmore silver spring

[rain tulip]

h-how?

[scarlet compass]

i will make it work 🙂‍↕️

[fierce coral]

thats insane

[scarlet compass]

anything is possible!! (don’t be like me y’all)

[inner tangle]

you got it man

they sold out + I'm broke, so I hope you have a sick ass time there for me 😔

[deep cloud]

I've only seen Madeon and Porter. Don't get me wrong, Wavedash and Madeon at Echostage was lit, but the next day killed me. Just wish they would start a little earlier

[inner tangle]

Echostage always runs late tbf

the headliner never goes on before midnight

usually I have no energy for the openers, but planting Wavedash right before Madeon ensured that I'd be COOKED for his actual set

I was sore all over the next day from jumping too hard, that DJ set in July was so fun

[placid dagger]

Yo that’s sick, thanks for sharing.

[placid dagger]

Does anyone have a time stamp of that? I’m trying to hear every Porter quip from each show.

He had too much to say at Charlotte.

@placid dagger

[placid dagger]

Okay, that was really good.

I need to make a compilation once all the shows are done.

[normal mauve]

i think someone is already working on that?

iirc someone had talked abt that before... not sure

[placid dagger]

I’ve been the most active in the Charlotte chat so I wouldn’t know.

[inner tangle]

MysteryMii is

[normal mauve]

thanks!

[deep cloud]

That's what I am saying

I got there at 9pm, so I was dead by like 2am

[inner tangle]

oh dude

me, exxo, and some other people were in line as early as 7 pm

and we stayed at the front rail for the entire time

that shit was AWESOME

[deep cloud]

I gotta ask, how did people get up on the stage during the Madeon set?

[inner tangle]

dude i have no idea

i assume vip but i didnt see anything like that when buying my ticket

[hearty fiber]

Yup

[hearty falcon]

Woo Porter got me sick! Lmao

[maiden folio]

not sick yet

I'm holding strong

I'd be lucky if I didn't end up sick because of the concert

[hearty falcon]

Started with a sore throat then boom fever. Surprised there's no other symptoms tbh

I always seem to get sick when going to concerts, no matter how clean I try to be. Guess I'm gonna Knock Myself Out in bed

[maiden folio]

XD

[rain tulip]

they chose at random

i remember seeing them grabbing people from all over the venue, giving them special wristbands, and letting them up

found out where kids came from

[chrome mason]

My whole family got COVID like 2 days before the concert and I was geeking hoping I didn't get sick

I didn't get sick but I was so scared lmao

[hearty falcon]

I don't think I have COVID given how tame my symptoms are minus the fever but I'll probably still run a test later

[gray bay]

They're gonna start sending out free covid tests through USPS at the end of the month I think everyone make sure you tap in

[wet patrol]

I got COVID after the NYC date, make sure to test all!

I’m good now but it sucked 😭

[analog venture]

panchiko, motfd, might see boris, probably godspeed you!

might see femtanyl

[analog venture]

mannn i want to see underscores so bad

eric was good but not my type of music

[real birch]

yeah him playing with underscores & Galileo Galilei, both artists I adore.. in different countries.. really makes me wish I didn’t live in North America

[fierce coral]

[limber dirge]

I wanna see panchiko soooo bad but I think I’m gonna be out of town 😭

But I’m going to frost children!

[analog venture]

panchiko is great live

well uh

that explains the sound check last saturday

[gray bay]

Yeah

[real birch]

yeah...

i feel cucked by porter /s

[normal mauve]

hey, he took a photo with us

i dont know if he did that with other shows (or at least they didnt get posted)

[real birch]

we were the only one he posted a selfie with :)

the rest of his content from other locations are just action shots of him doing his lil thing

[gray bay]

Proving that he hates his fans except for us

[normal mauve]

true

[hearty falcon]

Lol I was hearing the sound check at the merriweather whilst on my way to the hotel

[weary kestrel]

He loves columbia maryland🥹

[tropic notch]

the soundcheck sounded so beautiful too

i wish he covered that song at our event

😭

[real birch]

i do too, the song has been stuck in my head since hearing it

[hearty falcon]

Welp turns out I was wrong. Tested positive lol

[normal mauve]

nooooo! hope you feel better soon

[hearty falcon]

Which one of you scoundrels went to the venue sick >:( jk lol

[hearty falcon]

thankss

[inner tangle]

[marsh iris]

i did but not as in illness, as in, dude thats fuckin siiiiiick

[inner tangle]

I'm pretty radical myself

[gray bay]

Was I licking doorknobs before, during, and after the show? Maybe. But these accusations are FALSE

[real birch]

[marsh iris]

i was behind the scenes at the margarita booth licking every single cup before it went out to the customers im so sorry

[young lake]

So glad I got the new covid booster

[maiden folio]

I have not shown any symptoms of anything so I think I was fine but my sister got sick recently so hopefully that's just a coincidence

there's a chance I had something but showed no symptoms

and accidentally got my sister sick

more likely a coincidence

[hearty falcon]

Yeah you could be asymptomatic but still test positive if that was the case

[real birch]

yeah, asymptomatic people carrying covid are more common than symptomatic people with covid. hopefully it was a coincidence, but better safe than sorry when considering that

hope your sister feels better
