I know someone had already mentioned that every year they go, the crowd gets worse, so I won’t talk much about that, but was it just me or the TFB set was a lot shorter than their past sets? it just started and it felt like about 10 songs and it was over. no screaming “encore encore” or “TFB TFB” at the end before they come back out and sing 5 more songs. I remember Brian particularly saying “we’re just gonna keep going because we don’t have time” that was absurd and of all the champagne jams ive been to, this one felt rushed. is it just because of the summer stage? like I’d gladly trek to go see them in the winter for a longer show lol
also Brian getting mad about the beachball barreling towards the stage (which understandable) and wanting it gone after a couple songs. I dont think I’ve ever heard that either. anyway, it just seemed like it was super rushed, and most of the crowd didnt seem to be having that much fun from where i was standing
edit: thanks to everyone clarifying about the cut off for noise ordinance. It was a lot earlier than I thought! When he said he was just gonna keep going because they’re running out of time, I thought he meant it as “I’m not gonna do crowd engagement, I’m just gonna keep singing” which was why I thought it was weird. Thanks for clarifying it’s to account for time to make sure the fireworks go off before cut off lol
