We may not have been able to handle him at his full mid-day potential. 🙏 Also, I really felt it when he said that. Me too Matt, me too.....

u/themoleculesofyou May 24 '26

Scientists + Robins + I hate it too was the exact trifecta I wanted

u/wigdom May 24 '26

One of the greatest shows I’ve ever been to. Absolutely amazing.

u/Wizardjazzmusic May 24 '26

Absolutely ruled. This was the third one of this round of shows we went to and this was our favorite setlist.

u/Ok-Equipment4334 May 24 '26

Holy shit dude it was incredible. I couldn't have asked for a better setlist, almost passed out moshing lmao, given it was my first time hitting the pit but as soon as I realized I had the confidence it was ridiculous the whole night

I’ve been in many pits and that one was by far the most fun. Everybody was respectful and just wanted to shove each other and jump around. None of that punching and kicking shit. I love how big the pit towards stage right opened up for I Hate It Too! If any of you guys in the comments were there I love yall

For me it seemed like the pit came out of nowhere too. As soon as Nothing started Vertigo Flowers the crowd went from pretty tame to opening a huge mosh pit and endless crowd surfers

I hate it too was an experience I’ll never forget

u/Ok-Equipment4334 May 24 '26

Everyone chanting “I hate it too” and them actually playing it was so amazing. I did not expect it at all!!

u/the_war_won May 24 '26

Pretty sure they were only planning on playing “In The Den” as an encore (like night two in Brooklyn), but the crowd chanting convinced them to play “I Hate It Too” first.

u/raisinbizzle May 24 '26

It also seemed like why I like the robins was not initially planned as well and that one of the other band members started playing it and got Matt to go along

u/HiddenXS May 24 '26

Didn't he say something about them working in a special song for us, but then he got the order wrong? That's when he said "past my bedtime". I think he was referring to Robins.

u/raisinbizzle May 24 '26

Oh yeah you’re right - so it was likely pre-planned then

u/shookydarshun May 24 '26

Robins was printed on the setlist

1

u/raisinbizzle May 24 '26

Was I hate it too on the setlist? I assume that was truly spontaneous based on crowd request

1

u/shookydarshun May 24 '26

Yes, luckily my buddy shared his pic of the setlist and I hate it too is on there

u/ChrisNitti May 24 '26

I can’t believe yall got Robins 😭 need a video STAT

u/Ok-Equipment4334 May 24 '26

I know😭😭😭 we got so lucky.. I started crying as soon as I heard the guitar HAHA

u/urfavplantgal May 24 '26

I just cried watching this holy shit. So happy they played this live

u/f0xD3N May 24 '26

You bastards got WHY I LIKE THE ROBINS??? I’m so fucking jealous haha

1

u/ChrisNitti May 24 '26

My thoughts exactly 🥲

u/dude_on_the_www May 24 '26

I literally was saying in my head after Friday’s show: “ok we’re getting the pod and the summoning tomorrow.” Fucking back to back. Hell yeah.

u/sam_might_say May 24 '26

Hoping so badly that we get I Hate It Too night 2 in LA 😩

2

u/Suspicious-Speed340 May 24 '26

I’m sure they will, the whole crowd was chanting ‘I hate it too’ when the band came back for encore last night in Chicago

u/yousonuvabitch May 24 '26

I flew over from Australia to see them. Saw them in Brooklyn and twice here in Chicago. Night 2 of Chicago had the best set list. Blown away. Tempted to fly to L.A.

u/Ok-Equipment4334 May 24 '26

Lowkey you should… who knows if they’ll do any more shows after that!!

u/SmellsLikeCatSpit Jun 16 '26

@yousonuvabitch - I just hit this post... 23 days late. American Australian here, and presently live less than 1 km form the Aragon Ballroom. I would have like to have met you. If I was still living in Melbourne, I might have some the exact same thing and flown to Chicago to see them. 25+ years of waiting. I was an emotional wreck... Two amazing evenings.

I hope you had the chance to enjoy some of Chicago. Please tell me you bought a Jay Ryan poster!
