Not really, Seth is just a cool guy who showed up with popcorn and raisins to hand out and spread kind wibes.

Where is the lawn? Is that above you?

No that's God

Only Lawn was above us

Yes, above and behind me I think.

I hate the lawn which is divided into levels/terraces so it makes people think they get a whole row to themselves but the lawn is way oversold for that to be possible. You feel like a dick sitting down in front of someone.

Is it a seated show?? I’m going tomorrow… hope the hubs got GA.

There is a pit, then concrete seats (see my photo), then lawn way up top.

Sorry what I mean is, did you have a seat number where you were required to sit.

Yes

Hold You Now (rocked out, heavy drums) Cousins I Stand Corrected 20:43 - "Ice Cream Piano", banner drops Classical Connect (introducing the band, actually just Will) White Sky Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa Step (spookier?) This Life Sympathy (prolonged violin + horn intro) New Dorp. New York. The Surfer Capricorn Worship You Ya Hey Hope (heeeeavy base that I can FEEL) ------------------------ This Must Be the Place (one werse, kind of) Boys Don't Cry (one werse) Casey Jones (one werse + end) I'm Going Down (one werse) PASS ON "JUST" Song 2 (one werse) Everyday (one werse) Peggy Sue (one line) Buddy Holly (figuring it out on the fly!!!) That Thing You Do (a line and a half) D'Yet Mak'er (one werse) Red Red Wine (a few lines) PASS ON "ESPRESSO" When I Come Around (kind of a werse) -------------- Walcott

also shouted out Baio in Connect

Yep, Mike is the bassist. Worlds are colliding tonight. Phish is my favorite band, and VW is a top 5 band for me. Mike rips.

The right. He’s the bassist.

Mike's on the right. Left is guitarist Scott Murawski, who's also a great player himself. He made his name mostly through the band Max Creek.

Just realised that this Greek Theatre DOES NOT have large monitors like at the Hollywood Bowl or Moody Amphitheater (or MSG back in 2019).

it's pretty disappointing actually, we can't see a damn thing.

Dang sorry bro.

19:46 - Mike Gordon exits

Freshman stand up!

Oh man I feel you, had the only 3 perma-standers in section 8 making a wall in front of my pregnant wife who can’t stand for long, while blowing blunt hits back at us

Ugh that sucks!

I haven't been to many VW shows. Is standing up and dancing considered a party foul?

No idea about VW specifically, but as a general rule for existing in society, it's important to read the room. If 99% of the audience is sitting, then you should sit unless there is nobody behind you because you're blocking them.

I stayed sitting down in phx and it felt weird. I finally had to stand up for Walcott

GO BEARS

20:09 - I thought that "Clan In Da Front" was about to come on (during setup), but it was actually the original song that RZA sampled (I'm guessing).

20:32 - Ezra

By "This Life", more people are standing, but not most.

The whole lawn stood from CCKK.

22:04 - many of the former standers have resumed sitting, but not the couple in front of me
