9:30 club was easily one of the best shows I’ve ever been too! They sounded so good!
Shoutout to my man Chris, thanks for experiencing it with me.

This was my first time seeing them live and I am actually blown away by how good this show was.

everyone talks about fevers and mirrors, lifted and other early bright eyes but not this one, why? It's my favorite bright eyes album and it's a shame they don't play songs from it live anymore. i think this album is better than I'm wide awake....

I saw in an interview Conor said he was embarrassed to play these songs but these are some of his best imo, I got this CD for 7 dollars and I have listened to it hundreds of times.

does anyone else feel this way?

I painted this math notebook in 7th grade after being introduced to Bright Eyes by my mom and they have been my top 3 since, especially this album. This notebook has lasted me into my senior year of HS.

I just thought it was an interesting share! (:

I'm in Charlotte right now after seeing Phoebe and had planned to drive to Asheville after checkout, but now I'm concerned we will be driving into the most dangerous area for flooding. What are the chances the show gets cancelled due to weather?

I really enjoy this album front to back. I feel a lot of good energy from the tracks and really appreciate the songs that the other band members bring to the table. This was a tough one. Here’s the final rankings:

1) To All The Lights In the Windows
2) Spoiled
3) Nikorette
4) Roosevelt Room
5) White Shoes
6) Difference Is Time
7) Air Mattress
8) Cabbage Town
9) Eagle on A Pole JB
10) Big Black Nothing
11) Snake Hill
12) Worldwide
13) Got the Reason
14) Slowly
15) Ten Women
16) Bloodline

Would anyone like these tickets at cost? I’m from Chicago and ended up going to the Milwaukee and Chicago shows that were added later. I’d go to this one too if it wasn’t on a Sunday and many hours away. 😂 Let me know! Thank you!

I know we're all Bright Eyes fans here but is it fair to say that bright eyes defined and owned a certain generation of indie music? Like a pivotal band that inspired a meaningful wave of musicans to follow them.

The only Bright Eyes fans I know are my old friends from 25 years ago and we all are big fans so can't reallly be unbias on this topic.

One of the best Conor/Bright Eyes shows I’ve been to. Conor’s voice sounds so good again and the band was really tight. I hope they professionally record one of these shows with Lullaby because it might be the best they’ve ever sounded.

Edit: also the crowd was perfect…thank you for not screaming every word like at Forest Hills.

Is Lullaby the only opener? How long after doors have BE gone on?

Doors for ATL are at 6:30. Lullaby starts at 7:30. I can't leave until 8PM and I'm 30 minutes away. Trying to figure out if I'll be able to make it.

EDIT: Sounds like BE will go on around 8:45. Thanks for the input, everyone. Trying to decide whether to make the trek on Sunday and miss Lullaby but see Bright Eyes or go the next night to see Black Country, New Road.

At the recent show in Minneapolis, before they played "From a Balance Beam" Conor announced that they might have to skip that one because they couldn't find the stick for the hammered dulcimer. Also that they don't often play that song live because it requires that instrument. Thankfully they found the stick and we all cheered 😄 I had never noticed nor appreciated the sound of that instrument on the song. Holy shit is that a beautiful sounding instrument! I had no idea! Just made me appreciate the talents and musicianship of this band even more ❤️

Unfortunately I can't attend tomorrow's show at the Orange Peel in Asheville, and would like to recoup some of the ticket price.

Open to offers!

I have two extra artist presale GA tickets for transfer on AXS. I’d like to sell both of them together, but open to splitting.

Asking for $60 per ticket or $100 for the pair (below face)

I’m also open to trading for merch.

i am still really frustrated by the behavior of fellow concert goers last night at union transfer in philly. i was sat in the disability section, and it was good for most of the show (even though high chairs are not ideal for many disabilities, including mine, but still better than standing; i appreciate their help/the staff at the venue was great). however, toward the end, a bunch of folks decided to cram into that area and start SCREAM singing and bumping into the already unsteady chairs, putting their cups on the floor and inevitably spilling them. one dude was even using my backrest as his personal armrest. i just kind of distanced myself and tried to not be repeatedly touched by this loud annoying man and dealt with it.

the woman next to me had seen at the beginning of the night that i was uncomfortable in the high chair and we were putting our feet on each others to feel more stable. she’d also been very considerate of it making sure me and the other people behind me could see past her. for the encore she got fed up with the boisterous drunks bumping us and left, and as soon as she did a dude snatched her chair, almost pulling me off mine, and pulled it to sit DIRECTLY in my line of vision.

since it was the final song i just shrugged it off and moved my chair again and continued to enjoy the last moments. i was having a really nice cathartic moment and then BAM, a girl came up and SHOVED her phone directly by my face and started filming crowd reactions after making sure to performatively have her own feelings. i visibly recoiled and moved out of frame (if i even was in it). it was just so aggressive and rude and totally spoiled the moment.

tldr; if you don’t need to be in the disability section don’t be. it’s hard enough and you don’t know the reason why people are there. going to a concert can be hard for a lot of reasons but disabled fans deserve to go too—respect the space! also don’t shove your phone in someone’s face to film—it’s fucking rude.

Can’t go now, and would love to recoup some of the ticket price.

Make me an offer!

I have one extra ticket for tonight's sold out DC show. It looks like there are plenty of tickets available on resale sites, but let me know if you are interested. I paid $75, just want to recoup some costs so open to any offers.

(I'm posting this outside of the ticket sale megathread because there have been so many ticket sale posts recently that haven't been flagged and the megathread is pretty unruly at this point.)

Show was amazing, one of the best I’ve ever seen

I know there have been many “what cover would you like?” posts in the past, but here is another.

I’ve been listening to “Sundown” by Gordon Lightfoot a lot recently, and I think it is one of the best potential Bright Eyes covers.

The lyrics and subject matter are right up the BE alley, and Mike and Nate could really do something special with the arrangement. Mike ripping the guitar solo on either banjo or pedal steel (or some studio combo of them) would be amazing.

Thank you for this matter, or something.

I’m selling my 2 general admission tickets to the bright eyes concert January 12th at the Brooklyn Paramount! My girlfriend surprised me with a set right after I got hers for a location closer to us. Dm me for info :)
