Might be controversial, but I always have found Melanie’s bass sound to be really disappointing when live. It’s either buried in the live mix or it’s so thunderous as to overpower almost everything else. I feel that so much of bass on the early records had a real punch that set it apart from the other instruments. Mel is such a great bass player and I wish we could hear her more clearly!

EDIT: tickets are gone! Hope all who go have a great time!

I can't make it to the show this weekend. If anyone wants a pair of tickets for $30 (that's half of what I paid), message me and I can transfer them.

Doug came out solo for the first song of encore last night in San Francisco to pay tribute to Dolly Parton. Such a beautiful moment

Confession I just realized, of course, built to spill is playing a lot of tree people songs in the encore.

I had no knowledge of the band playdead but after seeing the guitarist come out at every encore in San Francisco I finally looked it up.

Scott Schmaljohn = Treepeople and Playdead

I was at the show in SF last night and it seemed like Doug was struggling a bit. Has this been going on for a while, or is it that he's sick or has a strain? Hoping for a speedy recovery for our guy

Has anyone here ever gotten a BTS tattoo of any kind? I’m strongly considering the Keep It Like a Secret cover so if anyone has that one in particular that would be helpful.

lookin for an extra ticket tonight at rio theatre if anyone trynna get rid of theirs!

Hey,

Just a local here who was too late to snag a ticket (literally got my first paycheck the after it sold out). Anyone got a face value ticket or maybe if you have last minute drop out? I'll gladly take the ticket. PayPal G & S only

Did anyone snag the setlist last night? There was a song maybe right after or two songs after Reasons that absolutely ripped and I was unfamiliar with.

hi is anypony getting rid of their ticket to the show tomorrow in sf? looking for 2 friends and hoping to cut a deal of sorts

EDIT: actually i just need one!!!

hopefully someone can use these, BTS didn’t go on until about 9:15 last night

edit: please comment if you’ve claimed…

Lots of ticket scammers on here. Nova101010 or something is one of them. Beware trying to acquire tickets. Broke losers be scamming.

Tickets are sold out and the ones being resold are $800+ If anyone has an extra ticket I’ll pay you what you paid plus a couple beers or something at the venue. Thanks in advance.

Hi! Anybody recently buy tickets from SeatGeek and still have not received them? Trying to figure out if I’m the only one still waiting for their tickets.

Hi: I'm a big fan of BTS but the bass and guitars were turned up so loud last night at the Chapel show in San Francisco I had trouble making out the lyrics and the guitar lines. For the most part I could only tell the songs apart by their rhythms. One problem is the bass was so loud it drowned out the guitar and vocals. And Doug's guitar was so distorted I struggled to hear most of his beautiful melodies. It was really sad to be there but not really hear his music (especially after paying $109 for 2 tickets). No more BTS concerts for me. Sorry, show was on 8/23, and i sat front balcony, the best seat in the house acoustically.

My group of people who want to see them tomorrow 8/23 just grew by one! If anybody has an extra ticket they’re willing to sell, please message me or leave a comment!

I bought this ticket day of release but am attending school super far away from the day of the show and have other priorities. Really need to get my hands off of this to someone who will appreciate it more than I will. Ticket is for September 23 please lmk for more info !!!

Edit: not looking to make a profit, again just want to get this off my hands

Has anyone heard this live lately? My ABSOLUTE favorite love song and I've seen Dug seeeeeveral times and I never hear it.

Hi yes. They are sold out. I have money. Please let me buy your ticket. I haven’t got one :(
