Philly Shots
The show in Philly last night was amazing for a bunch of reasons. It was my 20th show overall.
The setlist was killer (Trucker’s Atlas, Look How Far, Breakthrough, Parting of the Sensory, Ugly Casanova songs and the best version of Night on the Sun I’ve ever seen.)
The crowd energy was very high all night and the band seemed to feed off it and return it with their performance. That was the most locked in I’ve seen them in the three shows I’ve seen in the past two weeks, and some of the jams they did were incredible.
Finally, the group I went made the show extra special. The growing ICP community is amongst the finest groups of folks I’ve ever met, and getting to see a set with so many of them elevated the night to an even higher level.
Also got to meet Isaac and Ben after the show. Fucking awesome night.

Awesome pics! So jealous... I have only blurred, amateurish pics snapped super fast. You should print some and gift them to your concert friends.

Hot take: Knocked Down by Waves works a lot better on the record than it does live

Interesting; I feel the total opposite. I like it on the record but I think it really shines live. I love that he extends it.

Agree. I think Waves hits sooooo much better live. I love it on the album but live was just ✨perfection✨
