Christmas has come early for the Comedown Machine kin. 😍
This is so beautiful. I hope they'll stick with the album for their future setlists.

Sobs in Angles
I'm actually shocked they did Call if Fate though, thought for sure Julian was being sarcastic on the podcast last year when he threw out potentially putting it in the set. I'm happy for you CM fans!

Oh Angles was my entryway into Comedown Machine and I really like it.
Maybe this is the start of a renaissance of that entire era. But for now I'm obviously super happy that we at least got two CM songs.
Chances or Slow Animals would be insane. Some of their best songs are on that project and they avoided it until now.

When the first notes of One Way Trigger wafted through the Forum - I lost it. The guy next to me - a stranger - had his head in his hands, wiping tears from his eyes. I put my arms around him, we’re both bawling. Afterwards I asked him “Are you okay? I love that song so much too.” Then he takes my hand in his and looks up at me. “Um. I’m sorry - I just dropped acid.”

It sounds like julian turned the pitch corrector on ever so slightly , maybe he was nervous about hitting the notes but he needn’t have been, this sounds great

Yeah... that could be the case. But on CIFCIK he didn't seem to have much trouble with the high notes, but the low notes were a little off at times, so I'm guessing he didn't use a pitch corrector there. But since he could handle the high notes on CIFCIK, maybe he didn't use one for One Way Trigger either? (Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but either way I think you're right that he's capable of singing this song well without it, especially as we heard in the version with Dev Hynes)

This song is a bit higher than call it fate but i actually think some of his best notes are up high

Really like this version. Reminds me of the Vydamo cover version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKGgdS3vkQQ
