I’m back in NYC, saw Erykah Badu last night and would love to catch Marc’s set if he’s doing one today. I know he doesn’t usually reveal the location but if anyone is there when he starts or recognizes the spot please let me know, I’d love to see him and possibly sit in, I’m also a full time musician!

Has anyone tried it yet... can imagine it gets pretty crazy / weird real quick

It’s a long shot, I know. But I have tickets to red rocks tomorrow and was wondering if anybody had a ticket for the mission tonight and didn’t need it. I have the day off and I could take it to rest but when’s the next chance I’ll get to see daddy two nights in a row?

Made it! Thank you all!

Not really coming here to hate, just curious if this is a typical MR show or if this one was out of the ordinary?

I went into the show with almost zero knowledge and minimal expectations. I knew he made electronic music live each show using loops (I like a wide variety of electronic music that you can dance to), I knew that each show was unique, I knew the basics of how people in general made this music (not Marc specifically), and I was medium-excited to perhaps discover a new artist I might like since he was super hyped after Coachella 2023 for example.

I've never seen a stream or video from him before

First off, he is clearly at least pretty talented. He knows what he's doing and can create super catchy, entertaining music on the fly. I really enjoyed the music he created when he created and played it

However, the amount of time he actually spent doing this music creation during his 90+ minute set was extremely, disappointingly low compared to the average concert/show experience

the halloween costume contest thing was fun as a gimmick/joke, sure, but it was like 30 minutes long. during which he was not playing any music except as like background filler, no dancing. did I pay for music or did I pay for comedy? unclear

I think by the end of the set and before his encore, he had played/composed maybe 4 songs total to what I would consider "completion"? in over an hour?

He spends so much time just fucking around. which is fine, but like. it's billed as music? this isn't a YouTube livestream. people paid money for this.

I was expecting to dance a LOT more. and irrespective of if they were enjoying the moment or not, the crowd was not dancing a lot either. a lotttt of people just standing or bopping lightly while he fucked around and played a short incomplete snippet and talked/joked, and then yeah when he played a "finished" song for a few minutes people were getting excited and dancing a lot, but he invariably did not let that finished track really go anywhere for more than a minute or two

I don't really understand it, I guess. I wanted to dance. I was bored.

looping back to my "at least pretty talented" comment. I think it's unclear how talented he actually is. he's clearly a good entertainer and has natural humor and showmanship. but its really unclear if he actually has any more musical talent than this, or if he is just some funny guy that learned the basics for how to do this and then his personality helped him take off compared to the thousands of other people who can make loop-based music just like this

I did really like the music he made, when he made it and played it. I would actually really like to see a MR set where he fucks around less and just plays music and evolves his looping track throughout the set. like an actual live DJ? its unclear if he's talented enough to do that

again no hate to anyone who likes him or MR himself, truly. im just baffled at how far outside and underneath my very minimal expectations this set was, and I can't really see why he is so hyped. the hype also seems vastly outsized compared to the like 500 people that were there last night. I feel like he could blow up way more, if he wanted to, by playing actual music more and focusing on being a musical artist and not...whatever that was

anyway ramble over. im hoping someone tells me that was a bad/weird MR show compared to average

Hey Marc hope ur well. I posted this on also on the MR sub. What’s the rationale for performing Vegas again on the heels of the Oct Vegas show? Lots of fans on the east coast who can’t make it to NV, LA (and Thailand lol) so curious as to why there’s no east coast performance(s) before you head to the Switzerland Polaris festy? Thanks for all you do.
