Fan Recaps and Comments:

YEAH. YEAH. HELL YEAH. This is the show I wanted the previous night's show to be! I'm so glad we got this "do-over" because it healed all my wounds and watered my crops and cleared up my acne. The band was 100% on their game and had us enthralled from minute one.

No bad songs in this show, only great and greater. "Snail Shell" is such a favorite of mine and JL wailed it like a human saxophone. "Stuff Is Way" is hilarious live, and I have no idea how they make it work but they do. "Fingertips" was polished and cohesive. "Don't Let's Start" and "Damn Good Times" had me rocking out hard. "When Will You Die" is very politically satisfying to sing right now. The duo "Istanbul" was a wonderful throwback to the days when it was just John and John, plus their usual silliness with the echo effect. And "Twisting" in the encore was such a treat, the whole audience on their feet and yelling "SHE WANTS, SHEEEEE WAAAAAANTS!" The previous night's set had been unexpectedly heavy on the love songs; this one pulled out all the bitter and breakup songs, and it was cathartic and great.

I stumbled out of the venue feeling high on music, that wonderful feeling you get from the very best of shows. What a knockout. Thanks, TMBG. --Rosefox (talk) 16:42, 17 November 2025 (EST)
