kevinxabney Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 My childhood self is so damn excited because this Sunday I will be seeing H2O for the third time, New Found Glory for the fourth time, and Alkaline Trio for the second time - and the first was at Warped so it wasn't the same. ( I also saw a 'private' 30 person acoustic set in a hot topic when A&I came out but it was only 3 songs and a meet / greet ) I cannot wait. I am going to spend way more money than I should on merchandise and lets be honest: I'm probably going to cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'll be there Sunday as well. Stoked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castaway Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'll be at the Cinci date tomorrow hopefully, if it isn't sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billya Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Not hard to spend too much on merch there. I dropped $45 on that poster. It was a great show. I love NFG, Alk3 was nice and I was souped to finally see H2O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castaway Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I was souped to finally see H2O. They ruled when I saw them with Terror and everyone was into them. But how was the crowd reaction for them at an NFG/Alk3 show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's already $105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 The Orlando show was awesome last week. Only home state show on the tour for NFG so they played extra songs from Nothing Gold Can Stay in the encore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckis Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 The Orlando show was awesome last week. Only home state show on the tour for NFG so they played extra songs from Nothing Gold Can Stay in the encore. I went to the Sticks and Stones 10 year tour in Pomona. I told my friends that all I wanted them to play was 2's and 3's. Sure enough, Jordan said they were gonna play a really old song and they fucking played it. I lost my shit. I've seen NFG 20+ times and have never been disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a lot of people there for them. Philly has a solid hardcore scene, so people came out. A lot of the people who were obviously there for NFG/Alk3 were funny to watch during H2O's set.

knifeparty Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Making the four-hour drive down to Cinci tomorrow, can't wait! Such an awesome tour lineup. Cinci show here also!

nick6ten Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'll be at the Cincinnati show tomorrow! Unfortunately, I think it sold out earlier this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Went to the pgh show. Saw H20 and six songs from ALK3. Thought it would be a good way to unwind after spending 35 days in hospital so far with my daughter. Eh... Not so much! But picked up the ALK3 jacket and tossel hat for the collection.

NoFxpunkguy Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Man i would have killed to see this tour. I have seen H2O atleast 15 times. From 2000-2002 i saw H2O 8 different times. Man those guys were awesome back then. I seen NFG a few times too. They always put on a good show. But i have yet to see ALk3 except 1 time at warped tour. They just never seemed to come here on a normal tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 H2O is like the cross-over pop punk/hardcore/punk band that can really tour with any bands. its awesome! bummed I missed this tour but I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE stage AE where it came here in pittsburgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinxabney Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 The Trio set lists I've seen from this tour are nearly perfect - but I'm still hoping for something extra special for the Chicago show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnstiles Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'll be at the trio show, I've seen them probably 20+ times and only left disappointed once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'll be at the trio show, I've seen them probably 20+ times and only left disappointed once. Last time I saw them, Skiba was really drunk and kept rambling between songs. Dan and Derek seemed really annoyed. It was entertaining for a little while, but got old pretty quickly. The other couple times I've seen them, they were much more on point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicago date on the Sekrets tour was absolutely awful - hoping this isn't a repeat. turnstiles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akellroolz Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 If you're going to pick up any records from NFG, ask their merch guy Justin about pressing info. He'll pull out a box of some pretty limited copies of Kill It Live from under the table. Unless, they're all gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyacrash Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 H2O is one of my favorite all time bands, and I've seen them a million times, but the last few years have really been disappointing. They still have plenty of energy and sound great, but I don't think they've changed their set list in five years. And I swear if Toby tells the crowd one more time to "check out a band called Minor Threat or 7 Seconds" I'm going to punch myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick6ten Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 A buddy of mine, Stevie was was running the NFG merch. I asked him what pressings they had and he said he just grabbed a handful out of a box. I ended up with white (/600) but it sounded like they had some friends pressings with them. He said he's doing the whole tour, so ask him when you're there. The record was $20 and they were signing them after the show, if you're into that.

jonnywreck Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 When I asked him for a Friends Press he told me he would only get it for real vinyl fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinxabney Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yeah , I asked him about variants and he didn't even want to show me the non-friends colorways.It wasn't even busy or anything - he just acted like I was wasting his time - fuck that. I got the black / white embroidered varsity jacket from Alkaline Trio along with the scarf they had. I was bummed that the H2O scarves were sold out - but I snagged the red/blue split Thicker than Water LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
