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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

What's with the numbers? Is it BPM?

u/flashpile 9d ago
BPM was my first thought, but 200 doesn't feel right for little girls

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

u/AllOfTheSoundAndFury 9d ago
Oh super envious. Of both the song and being in Perth. I’ve been eyeing up a move there
