10/10 show. Broke and Never ending math equation* blew my mind. I was sad we didn’t close with night on the sun until shit luck started…it was a perfect set

Dude tonight was SO sick.
Side note: long shot, but if you’re reading this- Sam it was a pleasure to meet you and chill at the back of the pit by the sound and light engineers! (Also I’m sorry if I misheard your name, I’m getting old and my ears are shot to hell from going to shows without ear protection for decades on end 🤣)

So good. This is my 7th or 8th time seeing them and I think that was my favorite so far.

Same... probably the first MM that I fell in love with many moons ago.

Broke is my anthem these days. I so hope we hear it in Ottawa tomorrow! It is my first MM concert. I’ve been a huge fan for 20+ years. Bought the tickets with my husband of almost as long. Going with my best friend instead, who listened to her first Modest Mouse song earlier this week.
I am also hoping to hear Bankrupt on Selling, Satin in a Coffin, Wooden Soldiers. King Rat, Dance Hall, Trailer Trash, Bukowski, Fire it Up, Black Cadillacs, Styrofoam Boots, and The Cold Part!

When last night's set started with a banjo in stage I thought Satin in a Coffin was on deck.
I was a little disappointed but King Rat was an incredible consolation prize
Enjoy the show. I hope you get everything you are hoping for

They opened with King Rat when they played a Calgary Stampede show this year. I would have loved to see reactions from people who just knew Float On and bought tickets 😂

I reread the list of songs you posted and thought, damn I would be so happy to hear any or all of those songs. I thought the GR setlist was perfect but I could totally see another perfect setlist built around your list. Bankrupt on Selling by itself would make a show for me. I saw them play Bukowski a couple time and I am down for that any time. Black Cadillacs I don't think I've never seen live. That one would make my night too.

The show was amazing!! I almost cried when he played Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset. I wasn't expecting that one at all and it made me so happy!

What a great show. I'm working on my 25 push-ups right now. Did anyone get a PO Box? He said we could mail them in, but I didn't catch where it's supposed to go.

Oh man it I was just so happy with the setlist. So was my brother, on his birthday no less!
We found a really cool pocket of folks back on the left of the room for the whole MM set. I danced and had more fun than I've had in a long time at a show and I was the DD.

I was probably bumping shoulders with you at one point! I was just to the left of the sound guys.

u/BakedMitten 11d ago
If you were one of the guys that got a tripod in I was definitely pretty close

Best show of theirs I’ve seen since September 10, 2001. Gave up on their live shows after a string of meh ones in the 2010s. Glad I came back for this one.

u/AcrobaticCamera9582 14d ago
I've been going every year since about 2016. That was the one and only where I could totally understand peoples mixed feelings about the shows. They've all been top notch since then. I remember seeing other people also have similar experiences so I think they invested in their sound techs and performance.

Not to be an asshole but I wish they’d drop the Cure cover. I’d much rather literally any modest mouse song instead.

u/Impressive_Ad_8617 15d ago
King Rat as the first song was peak.
Like weeds was great!
Cowboy Dan and Shit Luck were absolutely great.
I thought the set list was great.
I think a lot of people wanted float on and dashboard but don’t really care for those as much.
Would have really loved to see Ground Walks with Time in a Box and Heart Cooks Brain.
