mannn i wish i could've watched the stream live that day, i wonder how much of a different experience it would've been, i was at and event for my school while it was streamed & couldn't at the time. i actually ended up figuring out about emily for the first time not from the stream, but from a news article that was on my google homepage before i got home, since i was planning to sit down and watch the stream recording all at once. i actually just remembered that i heard TEM before watching the stream as well. since i had seen the article beforehand & figured out about the song, i ended up listening to it first, whoops 😂 so so strange to think that was already a year ago, i mean so much has happened between now and then. not sure how long it took for me to cry while watching it, but honestly i don't remember too much about my initial reaction to it because of the fact that half of the time i was sobbing. planning on re-watching it tonight to celebrate, a year ago i would've never thought that i'd ever get the chance to see this band live i joined lplive the next day too, remembered that as well 😂

you're very lucky, anyone who got to see chester is it's probably a pretty (or, definitely) different experience for those who got to see chester previously that are now seeing the new lineup as well versus those like myself who saw them/are seeing them for the very first time. i actually have a bad habit of frequently reading stories on here from when others saw chester years ago, easy to say i'm quite envious of you guys as well (not in a bad way, really) so it's very interesting to me. it's cool to read other's recent experiences and previous ones!

man enjoy the show you guys!! and super impressive write up by the way, i've said that plenty of times i'm sure but it definitely applies to this one.

duuuuude this is so true, love that you guys mentioned this

dude, exactly. exactly exactly exactly the pit was so fun to watch from where i was at, it was great to watch people join in & neither me or my friend who i went with had been to a concert before — she seriously loved watching the pit. and yeah, holy crap it's so great that this happened to be the show i could attend because that setlist was probably one of their best so far. i wanted to hear FTI so bad and i was jumping when it started playing — yeah gotta say stained sounds SO good live, i hadn't noticed the harmonizing nearly as much in the studio version and it sounded incredible in person. yeah, that set though. fucking rocked. i think i hit a few people around me by accident since i was moving around so much in the seating area, i can only imagine how alive the floor was, i didn't pay attention to it a whole lot 😂 my arms have been sore all day today. the whole show was crazy, emily joining the crowd was sick too, the energy made me so happy. i sat in the venue after the show for ten minutes because i was stunned. so incredibly great that they're doing all of this again

nah, totally agree. definitely noticed it, it is somewhat sad/unfortunate since there's not much we can do about it. don't really think you're getting the full or best experience if half of it is you following your phone with everything they're doing. i never touched my phone during the show, it was funny because afterwards i was wondering if i should've recorded something, but i'm really glad i didn't. much more of an enjoyable moment without stressing about that (plus phone storage/recording usually stresses me out in general, my camera sucks butt), but yeah it is a bit unfortunate since your show only happens once. you gotta live in that moment & yeah, still like you said, it's great to be able to watch or rewatch it on youtube (especially if you weren't at the show) — but the rest of that still stands 🤷‍♀️

thanks for sharing the m&g story, honestly i love reading those so much. great write up as well man!! i'll be at the show, so insanely psyched since i've never been to a concert or seen lp live before (still feels weird to think that i'll be there) — really cool that it happens to be on emily's birthday too, hopefully we might get to see something different in celebration of that!!

definitely the same with me, i get weird enjoyment out of waking up & looking at the setlist changes too. the european leg will be especially fun since there'll be shows one right after the other for about a month, & even if i won't be attending any of those it's still exciting edit: that'll just be the start though because i forgot how much longer the second american leg is too 😂 like twenty five shows right, man it's gonna keep being so fun

dude thank you so much for these!

yep. just with a lighter skin colour

that's exactly what i thought LMAO 😭

yeah, that's true — i guess you can never really directly apply that term because they're still going to do whatever they want to do, i don't mean "not directly linkin park" in a bad way at all. i used that since a lot of people have compared it to the sound of what emily did with dead sara/mike's projects before these years, hopefully that makes sense. it's so controversial 😂 i try not to think about it too hard because i never mind what they do. yes, it's unlike something they've done in the past, but that's not bad at all

exactly! i know it depends on your opinion and/or personal taste, but i've never been someone who hates on really any of their songs. i enjoy their form of independence from not sticking to one type of music or exact sound, whatever they put out always sounds good in some way to me

finally got to listen — huge fan of this one. not much to say since everyone has mentioned a lot already, i really love mike's verses & even if it doesn't directly sound linkin park, i'm still all for it

gotcha — i figured it would be, thank you
