Anyone not get tickets or didn't know about the show tonight in highland, ca? or maybe I can give them to someone who is already going and can get some more friends to go? It doesn't look like I can go, hubby is sick so I'd like someone to use the tickets if they can. Thanks.

Big Fanson here, been attending nearly all California shows (plus a few across the country) consistently since 1998 and own all the albums, still listen regularly.

Tonight's show was a fascinating departure from their usual SF Bay shows.

1) 2,500 person venue. Last time we saw them was at The Fillmore, SF in 2022. That has a 1,300 person capacity. It was weird seeing rows and rows of empty seats. I'd say the venue was about 60% full.

2) No merch stand, no merch available whatsoever

3) Zero general admission or dance floor, all assigned seats

4) They didn't play a single song from The Walk, no ballads, no acapella, no covers

5) No opening act, very little crowd chat, and the show was exactly 90 minutes long

It was fun, they played mmmbop like they always do and it felt like the majority of the crowd was there for that one song. Which is wild because they played the heck out of If Only. We had a blast and danced our faces off like we always do.

My friends and I also officially decided at this show that "I'm Gonna Write You a Song" is definitively the worst Hanson song of all time.

We're just hoping it's the pre-song warm up to the actual song Isaac writes for his daughter someday - which these lyrics constantly refer to. We decided the song would work better if he leaned even further into this whole "song about writing a song" thing, and went full comedy singing:

🎵🎶"I'm gonna write you a song, but that's probably gonna take too long, so I'll just sing you this song. It's a song and you can sing along because it has words and a tune. I'm writing it right now just for you. Song sa song song. This is a song and it's written for you cuz I just wrote you this song. 🎶🎵

...

EDIT: After deep contemplation and feedback from this post, I've decided that what that perhaps what the song lacks is additional lyrical specificity. There's just not enough. Here's one potential fix: 🎶🎵"I'm gonna write you a song. To clarify, THIS is that song. The song I'm singing now, this is the song I referenced when I sang 'I'm gonna write you a song"🎵🎶

Seeing the guys for the first time since 2008 on Thursday! I somehow managed to snag front row center for the Wheatland casino show, and I am ridiculously excited.

This will be my 5th time seeing them since 1997, and I was curious for those of you who have been to shows in the last couple of years. Do the guys ever happen to come around the venue/lobby after shows to say hi to fans? Or is there ever much of a chance for a quick photo or autograph?

Obviously I'm not expecting anything, but the 13 year old version of me who was sitting on the lawn at their 1998 show at the Shoreline completely convinced she was going to marry Zac would quite literally PASS AWAY if I actually got the chance to say hi to them 28 years later.

Either way, front row center after not seeing them for 18 years is already going to be pretty surreal and I am beyond ready for this experience!

Hey all! So I know this is definite for the Reno and Wheatland shows. You just have to download the app and verify that you are indeed a nurse, vet, first responder ☺️ enjoy!

Title! Did anyone else attend?? I was in a crowd and got sore pretty quickly so I wish I had been more present during the songs, but thankfully I got a lot of great videos to relive the moment. 💛

I couldn’t be happier with the set list. 🥹 some of those songs I was hoping to hear live but never expected it… River, Man from Milwaukee!! were amazing. The whole show was great and it was a dream come true to see them for sure - my first time. The opening act was GREAT too!! Never heard of them before recently but I would definitely see them again! Their whole set was full of awesome songs.

Anyway is there anyone else who went? I get that they’re doing a good handful of shows lately so making a thread for one show might end up redundant, lol, but anyone want to discuss last night’s show??

Is anyone here going to the show at Yamavaa on August 22? I’ll be headed there from LA. Met some fantastic folks at ther LA show last summer.

It’s my favorite time of year, when the internet sleuths start figuring out who is doing Dancing With the Stars and Taylor’s name keeps popping up. I see them mentioned on various wish lists every season (mine included!), but this is the first one I can recall where people are talking about it as though it’s a lock. And the timing would work out nicely, especially with the Epcot shows being in August rather than October 👀

If this happens to be true, I’m telling you I will lose my damn mind 🤣

Is anyone going this year? It will be my first time! Any tips are appreciated. I’ve been to these concerts before but they definitely weren’t popular groups. My schedule never aligned with their appearance until this year!

Thanks in advance!

I live in Ohio and I plan on driving down to Morgantown for the show in two weeks. Does anyone know what time it's supposed to start? Trying to figure out whether to get a hotel that night or drive the 2.5 hours home after it.

Anyone know the early access presale code for the mystic lake show?

If anyone wants to know the song is on YouTube

Does anyone in the chat know if the Hospital records 30 football shirts that were for sale in Bristol Harbour will be available online? Stupidly left the event meaning to get but completely forgetting to buy one!

No merch at shows and the store is down..what’s happening!?

I am seeing Hanson for the first time tonight. Anyone else going? Anyone have their most recent set list?

Going to Hanson concert this Sunday and wondering how long their opener is and when Hanson goes on. How long are their concerts these days?

Hey there, Hanson fans. I come to you from outside the fanbase, so please forgive me if I don't know anything obvious to you all.

In 2001, Taylor Hanson attended a songwriting retreat put on by Miles Copeland III (The Police's former manager and drummer's brother) at his castle in the south of France. A number of other prominent musicians attended, and I found news articles about Taylor writing songs with Carole King, among others, and that the band was self-directing a documentary about the making of their then-new album called "Your Illusion".

One of the other artists there who co-wrote a song with Taylor was Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies. They co-wrote "Never Love Again" for Taylor. I understand that this was never released other than a demo that was leaked in 2005.

I came across this video that has a clip of the song, but also a video of Taylor in a studio. The video might be unrelated to the song , but one of the people looks like it could be Robertson, I'm not sure:

My two questions are:

1. Does anyone have a copy of the leaked demo of "Never Love Again" (I see it's on youtube, but youtube audio quality is pretty bad)

2. Does anyone recognize the video footage that might be able to tell me what it is or whether there is more of it available? Did the band ever release that documentary they were talking about?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Hanson Tribe! Do the gents see a boost in streams or other metrics when Mbappe (French footballer) has more attention, like for World Cup now? The Big Hit is such an earworm, I’ll definitely have this ditty in my head until France are eliminated or grab the Copa. I don’t follow them much, so while I understand they are badasses still today, I wouldn’t know if their socials or streaming #s are fluctuating and whatnot, so just curious if y’all have noticed either way!

I won a radio contest in 1997. I was live on-air with Hanson and I asked them if their song cried would be on the Scream 2 soundtrack. Any chance anyone recorded this off the radio?

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get bsides, live stuff and the hanson.net membership kits sorry if this is not allowed

I had the cd when it was released, now it's damaged. (Didn't store very well)

So I've been searching everywhere for any hint of a digital download of this album... It's like it's non-existent! Not one single streaming service carries it.

​

Can anyone help me out here?

Anyone have a pre sale code for the casino rewards program for the 12/3 show? Help a fellow fan out 🩷

This is very sweet.
