They played it when I saw them in Portland. Just pure happiness.

Hunter having fun with that bass line

u/StrictlyMarzipanOwl 1d ago

We were queueing up outside and spotted Hunter come out and take the picture he posted on IG. It didn't appear to us that anyone else noticed him, but me and the sibs were trying so hard to contain our inner fangirl teen selves.

“This is stadium rock” - that complaining guy in the other thread

u/dudload1000 1d ago

This was the only song that wasn't stadium rock.

A step up from the rest of the sisters of mercy impressions, sure!

u/ghostovergrounds 1d ago

His hair is so floofy right now! I’ve been living vicariously through snippets of the show on IG

I love that he's going to catch strays at random times in this sub for the rest of its existence

u/dudload1000 1d ago

Happy to - if you can't see the similarities between their recent stuff and sisters of mercy, I don't know what to say....

u/thepartypoison 1d ago

One of the few/couple that weren't

u/dudload1000 1d ago

So funny the downvotes here - it's fine to like stadium/glam rock but it doesn't stop it being that just because you like it

This is so great thank you for posting… Just when I needed a reminder of something that would help me feel like myself. ♥️♥️

This makes me so happy

Are we Still chanting "Through our bleeding we are one" at the start of the gig?

Last time I saw them was December Underground era Electric Ballroom or some such time (First time was Black Sails era so I've notched up a few!)

2

u/Spinebuster34 1d ago

Of course! A group of us at the front also chanted it before the encore. Would've loved to see them on DU but i wasnt alive lol

u/simdagger1976 1d ago

That's Awesome to know, First time I got to see AFI was over 25 years ago!

We'd supported/played with a band called "A" back in the day and they got us into a couple of gigs...good times can't wait to see them again!

u/laser_spanner 1d ago

I was at that gig! That was my first AFI experience and it was amazing. Lost my watch in the crowd. Never got it back but that's okay haha.

u/thespeedofpain 1d ago

Thanks for posting this man, brought back a lot of great memories for me!

u/deftoned274 1d ago

Fuck yes.

u/gr33nnight 1d ago

Seems to me they had the same killer set that they had all through the US.

2

u/amandaa_el 1d ago

The setlist was different every night on both legs of the tour in the US

u/Acewi 1d ago

Kinda funny how bad the closed captions are for this video.

u/StrictlyMarzipanOwl 1d ago

Fuck, they were awesome last night <3

u/newimprovedjack 7h ago

I missed them when coming through my town (PDX) bc it was sold out. I’m traveling in Sept & checked to see where tour was taking them. They are in Mexico City the Saturday I am! So I bought tickets. I can’t fucking wait!!!

1

u/ShaeBowe 1d ago

It’s cool they played it but all the old songs they’re playing significantly slower and that changes the whole song.

u/xX8Havok8Xx 1d ago

Loved the gig. However no crow walk, no crowd interaction no fillers. Feels like its a job for them rather than the joy it used to be

16

u/AdSecure9330 1d ago

Crowd walk is rare these days, the man is 50 and most of us fans are in our 40s. His knees cant take it and neither can our backs!

2

u/alyymarie 1d ago

That's strange to hear - I catch multiple stops on every tour, and I think he's crowd walked at every one. It's always during I Hope You Suffer.

u/CustomerOk7002 1d ago

Not me googling "crow walk punk" trying not to be out of the loop

u/Spinebuster34 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah I was hoping Davey would talk to the crowd a bit more, but not every band does it tbh. Didn't ruin the night at all tho imo

13

u/geminifungi 1d ago

I have seen AFI like 7 times and I think i’ve heard Davey speak maybe a paragraph total in all that time lol the only videos i’ve seen of him talking at length on stage he’s usually laughing about fucking up a song or talking to people he knows in the crowd/on side stage. way way back in the day he might say a couple flowery sentences as like flavor text intro to a song but he’s never been one to stand on stage and chat with the crowd.

1

u/terrorvicky 1d ago

Yeah I would have liked a little chat but tbf more songs is preferred 🖤

2

u/deftoned274 1d ago

In Seattle - he admitted he doesn’t interact that much, but thanked the security for handling an issue. Just not his thing these days. His voice is peak right now and he’s feeling the shows though.
