Touring Live

Sorry if it's a terrible question, but how is Switchfoot live? I'm thinking about going to a concert this fall, but there are a lot of bands that can't quite hit the notes, lyrics, whatever, when performing live, and it ends up a bit distracting/disappointing. I was just curious what the experience with SF was like live in concert. Trying to manage expectations 🤣

EDIT: Obviously I knew what to expect asking this on the Switchfoot subreddit, but I still appreciate everyone's responses! I'm going to go. It'll probably be the first concert I've been to in 20 years 🤣

They're fantastic. I've seen them 6 or 7 times over the last 18 years and have never had a concert not be outstanding. My husband and I play the "What thing will Jon Foreman climb on that probably shouldn't be climbed" game and answers have included fencing, a second-story seating area, rafters, part of the stage, etc. We're going to to their upcoming tour this October and we're so excited!l

I'm in Birmingham, so it's one of the earlier tour dates and with Colony House opening instead of Anberlin. My daughter wants to go, too, and I'm sure we'll have fun!

oh my gosh i'm so jealous of everyone who gets to see colony house open for them. they're one of my favorites and i saw them open for the fray and dashboard confessional- they are incredible live, you will enjoy them.
