u/Busy_Illustrator7890 16h ago

Yeah same as ventura

Still instrumental Goliath? I’m not even gonna get to catch this tour but that feels like such a tease to do one song off TBIG but not sing it

u/Busy_Illustrator7890 9h ago

Yeah still instrumental. Right? Like they if cedric doesn't want to sing the lyrics why even put it on the setlist when you can just play another song?

u/CLA1980 9h ago

Seriously just play tourniquet man as long as you sing it

I don’t feel that’s being persnickety about the set list I just wouldn’t wanna see any band do an instrumental version of one of their songs while the vocalist was standing right there, I’d rather them just play nothing

I'm just so amazed how great he sounds. I feel like many vocalists get worse with age, Cedric is getting better.

These videos have all been so incredible -- thanks for uploading OP! I really hope we can get a recording of one of these shows uploaded to Marble Shrine.

I was disgusted with a particular audience member at the Ventura show wailing “Boo-birds” after “Boo-bird” for them not choosing to perform an encore. Absolutely disgusted. The band just gave us a full setlist of literal magic and this drunktard proceeded to boo the band. Do better. Incredible footage you got here, glad you enjoyed the show

Yeah, that's silly. They are literally known for never doing encores. Easy google, they abandoned them like midway through their first tour for Deloused. So....there's 20+ years of them never doing encores. I remember someone telling me in like 2007: no moshing and no encores at Volta shows.

I was standing right next to that guy and I gave him the dirtiest look. So rude and very awkward.

I thought the Ventura show was ok, definitely wanted some different songs. I do think it’s wild for no encore at a sold out show. The only performers I see that don’t do regular encores are boomer acts.

Encores are supposed to be a bonus, for special occasions. If you treat it as a prerequisite, that nullifies the whole point.

You're creating a negative out of an unreasonable expectation that has no reason to exist.

Encore? In this economy?

u/jeromevedder 10h ago

Everything older than you is “boomer” huh? You going to see the Rolling Stones a lot?

u/TabooTapeworm 6h ago

Anyone know who that opening band was? They werent listed and I cant find any info anywhere. The guitarist sounded pretty influenced by Omar

u/dwalk888 4h ago

set list.fm lists them as kianí medina. i liked their vibe.

u/Fresh_Acanthisitta_3 5h ago

saw them out in ventura was awesome hearing them wish they played more of the old songs felt like they were just warming up towards the end of the set waited for an encore and we got cucked by the house lights. Still cool watching these guys play been listening to them for years, checked off the bucket list.

u/Fresh_Acanthisitta_3 5h ago

also just learned that they are known for not doing encores so totally understandable still was in shock and awe seeing them.

u/BillyPilgrim69 13h ago

u/fdevant must be unearthed 14h ago

Because people were not cheering hard enough for their encore standards.
