You don't need to apologise for anything! Deadlines can never be right for everyone. Thank you for sharing regardless 🩷 I'm so glad we all got to hear Whatsername! That Lyon show will always hold a special place in my heart not only because the show was amazing, but because the vibe was amazing. Thanks for being my gig buddy at such a special show and thanks for sharing your story! As wonderful as these stories are, I feel that it wouldn't be fair to add them because I've already told several people outside of GDC that they're too late. It will also get me into the territory of constantly editing the article because then it would be understandable for someone else to ask for theirs to be added. Sorry! I think they'll actually get more attention here anyway, since people have already read the article and won't be expecting an update. A big thank you to everyone who has shared stories and photos. This thread will always be open for anyone who wants to share something about the tour 🩷

Maybe @solongfromthestars may be able to include your amazing Saviors journey and two others above. 🤞

First off, I want to say sorry to @solongfromthestars as I know how hard she works for us all here and that I really appreciate it, so I feel bad for taking so long to get round to posting this and know that I have missed the date for her article. I have loved the Saviors tour/album cycle right from the record release party (couldn't believe there was a store about 100 miles from us taking part) which was fun. (I walked past another store on the same day who were already selling the album and went in and told them to stop it 😂). Anyway, I loved the album from first hearing, Fancy Sauce stuck in my head as being really different and I still love it and play it regularly. Along came tour dates and I went for the show nearest me (Bellahouston) and also went for Manchester. Manchester was first and one of my GD friends came down that day to meet us go with hubby and me (she was on her own) and there we met up with @Goofygoldfish who I don't think still visits here (sorry and Hi if I'm wrong) and some more of her buddies and had a great time. The rest of the gang were all heading in nearer the front but as I am one of the older folks here and it takes me a couple of days to recover from a show at the best of times, I don't need beaten up in the pit! 😂 It was a great show, there a light shower just before the band came on but it was quite a nice night and they were in great form. The crowd was well into it, the band looked and sounded great and we got that amazing set list. Sadly no Dookie dogs, we assumed due to dodgy weather forecast. One of the my favourite songs in the whole word is Whatsername and to hear it live brought me to tears, all in all a great show. Public transport out to the ground was completely mobbed but really good natured with folk singing on the way back into the city. Second show was Bellahouston (Glasgow) which I wish they wouldn't use, transport out to it is rubbish but nevermind! It's not as big a crowd as Manchester but we met up with a few friend and although we got pretty much the same show, it was great all over again, just slightly colder 😂 I had always talked of going to see GD abroad and while I have always thought I would see them in the states, I don't plan to visit the US anymore (sorry, you are lovely people....) we decided a few days in Vienna would be nice. We had a great trip, the venue was quite easy to get to, my friend again came to meet us and off we went. The setlist was different but a great one for me, we got OEB, Forever Now, Hitchin a Ride, Stuart and The Avenue, Dilemma, Minority, She, WICA, Bobbysox and a little bit of Redundant, some of my favourite songs again so I was really happy. Seemed to me an odd venue as the bar was right in the hall so there was quite a lot of drink being consumed. I was beside a really tall, Viennese guy and he offered to put me on his shoulders 😂. I declined, would probably have killed him. It was a great show and a huge crowd walked back into the city and a bar that was just closing stayed open for us to quench or thirst for a short while. We felt a lot of places had missed a trick, yes it was Wednesday night but the band had played two nights in a row and there were lots of people about. Anyway, I'm rambling now, but I have loved this era, the band seem well and happy, have obviously enjoyed the shows themselves and I haven't even tried to keep up with all the videos folk have shared, I will watch them during the drought we are sure to undergo now as they take a well deserved rest. It will be ice when they pop up again in January, albeit I think it will be brief. I should say, we had tried to meet up with more fans after the show in Vienna but unfortunately the venue picked was totally in the wrong direction for us and I think it was for most as it didn't seem to come to anything.

@solongfromthestars Would it be possible for @Insomniac1984 & @Cris.submissions be added to your article. I know they missed the deadline, but their stories are amazing. Please. 🤞

I want to play too!🙃 For me the worst song ist Drama Queen: those lyrics are so cringe I can't stand to listen to the song (even if musically it's okay). And Drama Queen is closely followed by Amy which I dislike as a whole. But all the rest of the songs are fine for me I think... Edit: I was thinking about Haushinka, the starting point of this discussion. I didn’t care much for the song until I saw the videos of Chile some weeks back. And I began to appreciate it. Sometimes a live version can make a difference!

Are we counting demos that significantly deviated from songs that ended up in the albums? Because if so, Black Eyeliner x5

Right? Also, the guys making a a birthday video for someone the admire was the wholesome content I didn't know I needed last week

I love these box sets, in particular for live tracks from previous live shows, I just can't help it, I'm so crazy about GD live there's nothing like it. I'm all for streaming music but live stuff is generally only available on record. Just listened to Blood, Sex and Booze (Live at Makuhari Messe, Tokyo, from March 2001). Released today. Holy shit that was awesome. Amazing quality. Like to close my eyes and pretend I'm there with all the fans. Can't wait for the box set to be released to hear rest of show. Thanks GD ❤️
