    New post just for the stream! (I think it’d be more comfortable, seeing as the other one is full of comments already, and the link would be useful)

    This is where it will be aired, I think, but right now I only see a DJ podium, and it frightens me.
    P.S., it is my birthday and it is 3AM and I am barely awake but I’m staying awake just for Mew. Super excited.

      AND I’D RATHER BE A SATELLITEEE

      They’re playing the radio edit for Satellites! Odd.

      It seems that they’re working on the sound while Mew is playing, which sucks because it ruins my audio rip. I hope it’ll settle before the third song. That was a killer transition!

    • Did anyone notice Silas slightly changed the drums for the Special chorus? Removed snare from 7th half-beat of each bar?

      Also, a tambourine just came in for second half of Zookeeper’s Boy intro… that’s cute…

      I’m such a geek.

        I THOUGHT ABOUT THOSE EXACT TWO THINGS AS WELL!! Wow! I love how into it Bo and Silas are, and Nick feels so in place, it’s amazing.

    • Water Slides is just so good live. Glad that the album version reflects its energy more.

    • First time I’m hearing full version of Water Slides coz it’s not on Spotify here!! Yay!!! <3

    • They all look pretty sweaty already! It must be pretty warm there.

    • Johan is wearing his glasses onstage!

    • Water Slides sounded weak. Jonas doesn’t have enough accompaniment in the verses to cover his strained falsetto.

        He’s a bit on the off-side for this entire show. I hope his voice gets better with the next few ones. Sadly, I’ve felt a loss in his falsetto for quite a while now.

      I love that they’re playing hits, but I’m really hoping for new songs too, even if they’re the ones we know. I JUST WANT A GOOD VERSION OF FULL-BAND WITNESS ALREADY

      It’s so crazy watching Am I Wry? No live and thinking about the fact that they wrote it together 20 years before. It looks as if there’s so much hidden emotion on that stage and it’s really exciting.

    • Silas has an earring?!

    • For me, 156 knocks it out of the park, emotionally. Beautiful. Sigh.

      lol @ silas’ body language after missing the kick in the bridge for 156

    • Jonas and his Dorian Gray lack of aging is making me reallllly touchy about turning 39 on the 15th….

      • The members of this site span 23 years (at least).

        • I am 10 days younger than Bo and 5 days younger than Johan so at least I am in good company but Jonas looks no different than he did 10 years ago.. Maybe he is really from Gallifrey not Denmark 😉

          • I had to look that up…and I’m a lifelong Londoner. You’re ahead of the game on British sci-fi series, Americans!

            • What, are you serious? o.o I have a Gallifreyean tattoo across my entire upper back!

            • It rang a bell but I couldn’t remember why. Think I’ve watched two episodes of Doctor Who in my life.

      YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

      My internet connection broke down after 156 ended. They played:

      Satellites
      Special
      The Zookeeper’s Boy
      Water Slides
      Am I Wry? No
      156
      My Complications
      Comforting Sounds

      …Right?

    • I could watch Bo do his hoppity dance all night..this settles it, I will have to for sure see them this summer/fall even though it won’t be as easy as 2006 or 2009..they won’t play in the wasteland state I live in now 🙁

      • Where are you living? What’s the closest major city?

        • I have been exiled to eastern Idaho.. Pretty sure that “xenophobia and right wing fashion” is the region’s motto. Salt Lake is 3 hours from me and Boise is 4, doubtful that either is a Frenger haven. I’m from Southern CA, I should try to see them there so I’d have someone to go with..

          • Come to Seattle. I’ll go with you! Otherwise I plan to hit San Francisco & LA when they do a proper US tour.

            • Awesome! If they play before September it might definitely be LA since the last time I got to see them with my son and best friend was 2006 and he is in Portland once school starts for Fall. We want to try to get photos again, it would be cute to have one of him with Johan at almost 17 to go with the one of him at 8 with Bastian. I would love to meet up with you if we all make it to an LA show 🙂
