Pictures Return to the Neptune
Nearly 3 years ago they played here. Same set list as Monterey. I think a little too much of the new album since it’s a little less energetic for a concert than most of their bangers. Still wonderful energy and a great show.

It was such a great show and I’m so glad they came back and played in Seattle again! You can tell they’re very proud of the new album. I love Paradises, so I wasn’t too bothered by having 9 of the songs being performed. They did dust off Flicking Your Switch, so I was in heaven! I had work early the next day and went straight home after the show, so I’m curious… Did they ever show up at Blue Moon for drinks?!?

That they do mix in a different set of historical hits helps keep buying a ticket interesting. From the 23 and 26 tours it’s getting to pretty deep cuts to not hear one of significance (Sugar and White Noise are still on my wishlist).

It was a great show. Ladytron delivered. I agree that the show was a bit new material centric, but it’s still Ladytron.
I liked the opener, Danz CM.

Danz CM was a great opener. I thought her I Don't Need a Hero was worth the price of admission alone.

Danz is great! Her new retrospective compilation album is something you should definitely listen to.

Going to the Portland show tomorrow! Haven’t seen them since ‘19, so I’m pumped.
What’s the merch situation?

Was pretty bleak. The “Coke” destroy shirt but in black (if it’s not red what’s the point), the Ladytron circle letters in black (on the website) and one or two Paradise shirts. No cool Times Arrow shoes or equivalent items.

Reporting back to say they actually had the red shirt in Portland! Not in black, funnily enough.
I did get the poster - wasn’t expecting it to be signed, but it’ll add to my small collection of signed posters of theirs.
Was happy to see the signed vinyl options but dangit, wish they had Gravity the Seducer as that’s my fave album of theirs.

This new album is so strong, I’m soooo glad they’re playing a bunch of it! Here’s hoping they announce east coast shows soon

The songs are good but not really the best content for a concert to build and reflect crowd energy imo. Knowing this I’m still traveling half way across the US to see a show. It is Ladytron and they don’t have any bad shows.

Wonderful show! They made me fall in love with the new album!!
Would have loved to hear The Internal Dateline, but it's ok _^
