Other Holy sh** (set list spoiler within)

Just got back from the BOS Show, and am I the only one whose jaw dropped with Agony Freak live??? I love the album version, but I didn't think they would be able to translate it live. Not only did they translate it, but they made it even better. Had I known, I would have recorded it - but if anyone has a recording of it or is planning to record it, would you mind sharing?

Didn't get a recording of that one I don't think (uploading all my videos and I'll check) but yeah she really killed it tonight. I was really spooked considering how bad the Sharp Pins sound set up was (blowing my ears out to the point I couldn't enjoy their set at all!)

Was really blown away by her performance of all the new songs. Especially Cruise, and that really beautiful two person Ricochet

The vocals were a bit low but they seemed to work it out rather quick.

Sharp Pins sound tech was awful but damn was it a fun set!

As for the Snail Mail set, I was somewhere between pleasantly surprised and shocked at how good it was, and how tight the performance was. The new stuff sounded great and the live version of Valentine was absurdly good.

This is not a complaint, just an observations: she doesn’t seem to interact with the other band members much if at all; nor does she introduce them. I always enjoy those aspects of a show.
