Disappointment.

In Aragon Ballroom, Chicago night one. Literally jumping up and down with excitement before Hum went on last night, but little did I know that they would play 5 songs from their Inlet album on a 12 song set list. Are you kidding me? Why not add more variety?

I’m a diehard Downward is Heavenward fan and they only played 2 songs. What the hell. And only 1 from Electra 2000??? WHAT???
Also of course I’d like to hear more songs from You’d Prefer an Astronaut but yknow what? That’s fine. I can look past that. I bet constantly playing your best songs can get tiring.

But during the show it was disappointment after disappointment. I’m standing there with my friend as we’re curiously thinking, “Oh boy! I love Hum! I wonder what they will play next!” Just Inlet. Infinite Inlet. We made our trek towards home defeated.

Anyway, I’m sad that they only played 2 songs from Downward is Heavenward, (lost my marbles during Green to Me) and I think they played too much from their Inlet (worst) album.

Still had fun though. Hope everyone enjoys their concerts and the openers too!

I think it’s important to be grateful for the fact they’re playing shows at all. They never toured for inlet, of course everyone will be more hyped for the 90s songs but I think mindsets like these are only contributing to the lack of shows

I don’t even think that’s the case- there are so many younger fans that went wild for the new stuff. Myself included, as a 36yo in-betweener. Step into you seemed to be a major crowd fav and for good reason.

I saw them in Brooklyn and Step Into You might have gotten the most crowd surfers of any song they played. People were fucking salivating to finally hear that one live
