cryptic but encouraging haha, okay on goes the jam



Carbon Dioxide and Even It Out are maybe the biggest slappers so far, but everything from New Utensils onwards is the goods (Shiver kinda cool too ig)

I have no idea what they mean by “the animator” and there were definitely no songs that were abandoned or walked out on and only one or two didn’t have any live instruments. Most of them had a bunch of singers / dancers and a bunch of instruments including various crazy home made instruments

Hmm... not sure, Pots... are you sure what you've seen was from this specific tour?

This one (and the show I saw), their focus was very much based on playback, dance routines and an extended "band" who took took turns miming songs, with Karin and Olaf effectively blending in on stage amongst the performers. A few songs were played fully live but not many, hence why some felt heavily shortchanged having gone expecting to see a fully live performance. Again, I loved it. One of the most unique live experiences I've had (and they're legends anyway).

It’s literally the greatest thing to have ever graced a stage

'I have no idea what they mean by “the animator”'



Yeah, that puzzled me too. As the writer of that was just a random attendee from Germany... possibly something lost in translation? The rest gives the general gist.

I don’t think I could even spit near someone who felt short changed by that show like I passionately feel that anyone who felt that way should be neutered immediately

they had two iterations of that tour, the one documented I'd say is a couple of notches more accessisble. the first one consisted of a tad more playback and, like, just standing still for half of 'full of fire' lol



i loved that, though

I see.



The one they filmed is absolutely next level. Like it makes Super Bowl shows look like open mic nights.

Via a skim, yeah, that's definitely the same tour. Great, no?

From what I see, there's possibly less playback... but are things like 'One Hit' in that vid? (can't see it just from those snippets alone)... see, that is the essence of why it proved controversial. But as you can see, it's an absolute fuck-tonne of missing the point.

After posting that, I see hamid95 had already filled in the gaps. Nice!

Yeah One Hit is in there, one of the couple of tracks that were mostly playback.



Imagine paying for a concert and getting a fucking the knife broadway musical and being disappointed



Holy fuck I hate that

The “intentionally shitty” remark is probably the dumbest thought I’ve ever laid eyes on

^ Yeah, I found out the reaction afterwards. Surprised me, TBH. I recall the vibe being positive, and again... a performance like no other that I'd seen (before or since).

i miss raging lung in the uploaded version, the intro of that and cherry on top was amazing live



also really funny was that during wrap your arms around me there would only be karin singing through the PAs, but everyone stood on stage and pretended to be the vocalist simultaneously, which made it for many impossible to distinguish which person they were on stage
