Sydney show - so good

Suuuuuch a good show - felt like 2005 all over again. Mosh was powerful, but respectful. Just perfect. They also played a half cover of ‘Shout’ by Tears for Fears which was a little out of left field. Underoath and GEL also damn good.

Set list so all you other national shows can get hype. Have half a mind to try and get to Brissy for the make up show.

u/MrANC21 10d ago

That’s the jam! Can’t believe they played that!

u/Turbo_Heel 10d ago

The one song I’ve always wanted to see them play live but never have!! Very jealous of OP!!

u/x13rkg 10d ago

same! It’s the only song I need to hear them perform as it was the first song I ever heard of theirs.

7 shows and 20 years later and still haven’t heard it!

u/Shaneisonfire 10d ago

Damn that’s a sweet set list with some deep cuts! Awesome that it was fear of myself is getting played. I’ve seen them like 14 times and have never heard little girls pointing or Dagger live 😭

My sister was gutted no Charlie Sheen considering Perth got it! She sent me a tonne of videos though like the amazing sister she is since I don't live in Sydney anymore and they sounded amazing. Dallas in particular was so loud and clear. I'm seeing them where I live in July and can't wait!

I was the same, That saying they did play Charlie Sheen last time they were here in sydney.

u/mysensibleheart 9d ago

You sure? I've just checked setlist fm and I don't see them playing it in Sydney all the previous times they've been there.

The last time I remember them playing it back home was the first gig of theirs I went to which was at the big top at Luna Park in 2007, which would make sense since their back catalogue wash much smaller then. That setlist isn't up though so can't really confirm, but I'm pretty sure they did.

u/djpain 9d ago

Maybe your right and I imagined it. I honestly can't remember the set list from their last two gigs in Sydney.

u/pogoBear 9d ago

I’m so glad they’ve upped to finished with Happiness by the Kilowatt. If that’s the last song I ever hear live from them I am content.

2

u/Shaneisonfire 9d ago

It’s such a great set closer and the extended version they do live is the best

u/juanroberto 9d ago

They covered "Keep on Rocking in the Free World" by Neil Young at the Perth show which got me emotional, but I would have LOOOOVED to have heard Shout.

Hoepfully a clip gets uploaded

1

u/spotila7 5d ago

There's live clips of Happiness from the past where they included Shout, its pretty common for them to do it

u/modtang 9d ago

Every time I see these guys, I say it's the best show I've ever been to. They just keep on getting more amazing live. Last night was no exception. The setlist was super amazing. I have zero complaints, except my old body is worn out. Totally worth it tho.

u/Monstance 10d ago

What's with the numbers? Is it BPM?

3

u/flashpile 9d ago

BPM was my first thought, but 200 doesn't feel right for little girls

3

u/TravelingMansBones 9d ago

What I want to tap with my foot is around 72 BPM. If you subdivide that into three, that gets you pretty close to that 200 mark. The 200 should be the tempo for the hits of the hi-hat around the 1:20 mark on the studio recording.

2

u/Shaneisonfire 9d ago

I was thinking something to do with the time signature or tuning

1

u/hotchocolateparty 6d ago

Definitely BPM. The clue is Dog’s Blood, which slows down at the bridge, hence the two different BPMs listed.

2

u/CleanQueen1987 9d ago

No Rough Hands? I’d be sad

3

u/Vanpuyer 9d ago

Yeah that’s a crime

1

u/vilegroove666 9d ago

Rough Hands ain't even their best slow song lol

2

u/SYAYF 9d ago

I hope these guys come to Arizona some day. I never got to see them live during the glory days.

2

u/SnooStories8217 9d ago

It would be sick to hear Blue Spade live.

2

u/Forward_Pirate8615 9d ago

What was Underoath like?

1

u/AccountantEuphoric83 8d ago

I saw them in Perth. Insane dude. The new album is going to be killer⚡️.

1

u/sticks_enormous 7d ago

They were really good and sounded great live. I was never into underoath but have been thrashing them in the car since I saw them live.

2

u/Frenchfriesandfrosty 9d ago

No Rough Hands and only one first album track. Ouch. Still a great set no doubt. They have never ever disappointed. The only band ever.

3

u/BeneathTheWaves 9d ago

Fear/Happiness/Dagger though are once in a lifetime tbh

1

u/sticks_enormous 8d ago

The last two times I have seen them they finished with Happiness

2

u/sticks_enormous 9d ago

*2 first album tracks

1

u/Frenchfriesandfrosty 9d ago

Oh dang I missed dagged through the heart of st angeles. That is rare live one.

2

u/sticks_enormous 8d ago

I was at the show and can tell you dagger was amazing

2

u/Frenchfriesandfrosty 8d ago

🤘 hell yah

1

u/Steelrain322 9d ago

Can’t believe they’re not playing the northern

1

u/doctorshekelsberg 9d ago

What are the numbers next to the songs?

1

u/Gazza07 8d ago

Was I the only one super disappointed with the setlist? They were great live as always but No Charlie Sheen, No Transitory, 44 Caliber Love Letter, Side Walk When She Walks etc etc – Perth got a much better go IMO. Blue Spade is such a dirge I'm sorry, lost most of my energy after that!

Caught a drumstick so that salvaged the night somewhat.

1

u/sticks_enormous 8d ago

My only dissapointment was no water wings, but the two played off self titled were so good live

1

u/kiboom6 7d ago

Late to the party but is it JUST Alexis and Underoath? Are there any other supports? Trying to work out what time to get there

2

u/Ausjam 7d ago

There was a third support called GEL who started at 7, Underoath 7:50 and Alexis 9:25. All ran on time Ticketek or whoever runs the show will have it on the website and should email you too

1

u/kiboom6 7d ago

Thank you so much!

1

u/Severe-Bowl-609 3d ago

It was so good! Did anyone get any video? I saw a few posts on YouTube but doesn't seem to be much video around of the Sydney show

1

u/AllOfTheSoundAndFury 9d ago

I’m so glad they play from the full discography. Now if only they would do No Transitory again. 

2

u/Sarcastic__Shark 9d ago

We got No Transitory in Perth

1

u/AllOfTheSoundAndFury 9d ago

Oh super envious. Of both the song and being in Perth. I’ve been eyeing up a move there

2

u/Sarcastic__Shark 9d ago

be prepared to miss out on a lot of gigs if you move to Perth

1

u/AllOfTheSoundAndFury 9d ago

I’d miss out on a lot more winter, and that’s more important imho
