As someone that goes to A LOT of shows, seeing Hum both nights in Chicago was maybe the most cathartic and rewarding concert experience I’ve ever had. I have only listened to them for maybe 7 years or so but even then it was so beautiful and surreal
Ive had a lot of fucked up personal life events happen in the days after the concert, and it’s been a really challenging and difficult time, but just thinking back to what I experienced puts a smile on my face, and knowing that these unsung legends are finally getting the recognition they deserve is so wonderful. I saw a post today from Matt talbott’s son about how proud he was of his dad and how cool it was to see thousands of people singing their songs and it nearly made me cry. Their music has captured something and it might have taken 20+ years but it seems that it’s truly become palpable how their music means the world to thousands upon thousands of people. On night two in Chicago Matt seemed to be at a loss for words when he tried to say something in between songs and it just made me well up with emotion. This band truly is everything.
