I bought the full package to support the band, but I have no idea if I'll be able to attend. I wonder if it's possible, if I cannot make it, to pass it along to a member of the US who wants to attend but maybe cannot swing it financially right now? PM'ing you. I'm in for Fri & Sat but have a friend I'd typically invite over. He's got two kids & no money; he'd love to join in if you can't make it.

Does anyone know what time the soundcheck stream is on Friday? This is the Massive Nights that I've been able to "go", so I don't know how this typically works- the instagram post said they had something special planned for the soundcheck this year, but I still haven't seen an actual time listed. I'm still waiting for soundcheck information. I'm in the UK so taking a day's leave on Friday so I can hopefully stay awake for the two "nighttime" shows as well as Saturday's evening show. Just got an email! Soundcheck is 5PM Eastern and 10PM UK. Good luck staying awake for all three- that's real dedication.

I'm so envious of you guys getting to sit down to watch all three shows. I considered buying all three, and just get up in the middle of the night to watch them, but a leakkage from our roof have made our bedroom unlivable, so two nights of close to no sleep would be a little too much.
All down for Saturday, though! And hope we'll get a few glimpses of the shows I miss afterwards.

Just woken up to an Email too - glad they told me to check my junk Email for the show links, as that's where they were!!

Just got an e-mail that tomorrow’s soundcheck tickets are available again for a limited time. I wanted one originally but didn’t have the cash but now I did. Let’s get incredible.

Night one in the books. The transition between Chips Ahoy and Weekenders was immaculate, and Tad killed it on Weekenders. The new songs sound great too. I'm so glad they did this show this year- being on the Zoom was an amazing reminder of what the Scene is all about, and, while I always get a little emotional when Craig says "there is so much joy," it hit a lot harder in 2020. Let this be my annual reminder that we can all be something bigger.
On a side note, I'm convinced that, when played live, Killer Parties is the greatest song of all time. Can't wait to see everyone again tomorrow.
I'm putting the set list from night one here too for those who didn't make it (sorry if I missed something, but I think this is the right order):
1. Positive Jam 2. Stuck Between Stations 3. Hurricane J 4. The Swish 5. Magazines 6. Lanyards 7. Party Pit 8. T Shirt Tux 9. On with the Business 10. First night 11. Constructive Summer 12. Don't Let Me Explode 13. Denver haircut 14. Chips ahoy 15. Weekenders 16. Yeah sapphire 17. The Feelers 18. Entitlement crew 19. Hoodrat 20. Crucifixion cruise 21. Resurrection
Encore: 22. Citrus 23. Sequestered 24. Stay Positive 25. Killer parties

Sadly, Zoom on my Chromebook didn't play well with the livestream-- I could either get the stream audio, or see the Zoom window, but not both at once. And, well, given those options, the choice is obvious...
I may try tomorrow's soundcheck on the desktop, but it's a less comfortable setup in a great many ways. Awesome sound on the stream, though.

That was fun. Felt a tad short, but A) It's Thursday, B) It's just a livestream with no crowd to work off of. I'd much prefer to be at the bowl, but this was a great compromise. I'm just thankful to have THS in my life this year.
Really anxious for the sound check. I'll be at work, but the boss is letting me watch it. Internet can sometimes be questionable though.

What a great time. I ended up enjoying it far more than I thought I would (and I went in with pretty high hopes). It ended up being very cathartic for me. It made me so happy but it also made me sad too, which I kind of appreciated. This has been a rough year for a lot of reasons and this show felt like both an acknowledgment of and balm for that. I wasn’t planning on going to nights two and three but there’s no way I’m going to miss out on those now. As someone’s Zoom sign put it, I needed this.
Also I thought the camera work and especially the sound were great. It sounded so good! Kudos to whoever was running the board.

I completely agree that the sound and picture quality were tremendous.
As ever, the band brought their A game - seeing the images of everyone with signs and beers and children was very, very uplifting.
We all know there is nothing like being there, but having woken up at 1.30am with a strong cup of tea to take me through - I cracked open a beer after about 5 songs.
I never looked back - the show seemed to race past - even if this time i was not spending a large part of the evening at the bar.
Highlight was probably Lanyards, but entitlement crew, weekenders, hurricane J and first night were also very special.
I eventually went back to bed at 4am - tired but very, very happy.
Plus not very long at all until soundcheck, then another brilliant show. I will clearly need a power nap between the two.
At 3.30am I was wondering if i should not go back to bed, but very glad i chose the prudent option.

That was fantastic, I screen mirrored it on my living room tv and it looked and sounded great. Roll on the rest of the weekend. The weather is rubbish in Scotland so it suits to be sleeping at weird times!!

The weather is rubbish in Scotland so it suits to be sleeping at weird times!! Was that straightforward via local WiFi like YouTube or do you have a Chromecast or something? Have a HDMI cable handy but would be easiest to just cast it.

I have a ticket for the Saturday Excuse me being dumb but it's 5pm eastern time so what is that in the UK? 10pm yes? Yes, that's right. Thank you. I'm so looking forward to this tomorrow, particularly as it is at 10pm - I though the time gap was the other way so I would have had to been drinking at lunchtime. Again. Hoping that this is going to be pretty straightforward to play on my iPad and then cast to the telly. I'm going to try and recreate the Camden experience by queuing by fridge in the kitchen for 20 minutes, buying a beer for a stranger and then getting into a one man mosh pit in the lounge. I may queue in the hall for my coat afterwards too.

So last night in the UK was fun and enjoyable, but awake at 1.30am and didn't get to bed until after 4am. Does anyone know how long the soundcheck takes? Trying to figure out If I can get a quick nap between soundcheck and concert. I'm wondering do I need to go to bed for a nap before 10pm UK, to try to survive tonight.

FYI, on the website, the stream from last night is still up and it says that the streams will be up until 11:59 on Monday night.
I'm rewatching last night's show now, a really great performance and I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would!

I was gonna go festive, but all of a sudden I can't find any Brooklyn Brewing Co beer where I live. I used to see it everywhere. Looks like I'm loading up on Tecate.

I may queue in the hall for my coat afterwards too. I really enjoyed it and found there are some advantages over the Brooklyn Bowl experience. Normally, my plan is to hit the restroom right at the end of the warm-up band's set, but without an opening act that was not possible. No worries though, it was surprisingly easy to make a trip to the restroom in the middle of the show, and make it get back to my front-row vantage point by the television.

Anyone watch the soundcheck ? Soundcheck was cool. I was working while watching, but basically they went through most/all of Heaven is Whenever with somewhat reworked versions.

Have a HDMI cable handy but would be easiest to just cast it. We have a newish smart tv so don’t need any cables, just a press a button on the tv remote and the tablet. I think a chromecast should work as well.
