What a fun little show! While I wasn't there physically, I watched the show in Gizzcord with a bunch of other people from past Wah Wah. It was very relaxing, and most certainly exactly what I needed then.

 

Would this make The River the first song with a 0 set gap? I'm not sure if it's all of Wah Wah, or just a tease of it, but it was very nice nonetheless. Between Let Me Mend the Past and Trapdoor, they played a little hillbilly jingle, which I found quite funny and nice. 

Along with that, the encore of at the end was a surprise. Her and I isn't my favorite song they could have played, but it certainly sounded great. Stu's ramblings throughout the set were also so very welcome.

 

7.8/10! Could have used a little bit more Omnium. Candles>The Funeral was an obvious pick. Made me lose my prediction even harder.

This was a special show, dosed right and enjoying some deemsters, the whole day flowed with a level of synchronicity that occurs during truly memorable shows. The boys channeled something here and you can feel it in their playing.

 

acoustics allowed the boys to show off their musicianship. Seriously great stuff went down here

N4 was a chaotic mess - Kamikaze Palmtree got booted because of lightning evacuation which sucked because every night they grew on me a little more and I was stoked to get that final set. Since this was the Sunday lawn show and tickets were more widely available this was definitely the show with the most casual fans which sucked because it was deep-cut acoustic jam night and many fucked up 40 something dads were not having it. Everyone we got shuffled out and back in with during the evacuation with was obnoxious as fuck and when the show was over and we were on our way out down the foot path people were so blitzed they were making me and my wife miserable. Lots of ignorant comments about Kamikaze Palmtree too - even if they aren't your thing, do you really need to slander them loudly to the 40 people who you're shouting around? We had good spots on the lawn behind reserved seating and these tall motherfuckers posted up right on the slope in front of us so we couldn't sit in our lawn chairs and vibe. Don't get me wrong, I threw my ass the 3 nights prior but this was supposed to be chilllll. Everyone in front of us was being distracting and obnoxious and I heard a few folks behind us make comments like "that was the song of all time" and "was that long enough or what?" like, dude. I paid hundreds of dollars to see these shows. Sorry you weren't quick on the trigger to preorder ANY of the other nights. This is what you signed up for coming to an acoustic lawn show on a Sunday evening. 

The set was fantastic, Stu was def fucked up and just waving his arms around having a good time and acting silly. Heard some bucket list songs like Muddy Water, Trapdoor and The Wheel and closed out the night with Her and I which was super special to my wife and I since we played it at our wedding. Han-Tyumi the Confused Cyborg acoustic was so fucking weird you couldn't help but scratch your head but it was exactly the kind of extra special treat you'd never expect but totally worked. Ambrose dedicating Let Me Mend the Past to his dad was very sweet and Cavs came off the kit to give him a big hug... a very special thing to witness. Loved the set, the boys were on fire - but get better, gizz fans.
