Did anybody go? It got pretty crowded (hooray!). Christie sounded amazing and Ives the Band was a pleasant surprise, I liked them enough to buy their CD. Eisley was great just because it's Eisley, though I was rather annoyed at the off sound. Bass was too loud, vocals were kind of muffled (and squeaky?), etc. This has actually happened before. I guess I enjoyed their two (or three?) base-free songs that they played because you could actually hear what they were saying. Sherri and Stacy also used different phrasing (Sherri in particular), which kind of messed up the harmonies. I guess I can safely say that the sound from Eisley was not as awesome and genuine as the sound from Christie and Ives the Band (I was blown away by both). Oh well, I still had a good time. I'm only criticizing Eisley because I love them. It just sucks to know that they're amazing musicians and vocalists and that it doesn't show up at concerts as much as it should (I only say it doesn't show up in concerts because the last two I have been to had most of this stuff occur). The stage banter was pleasant, I'm glad the crowd had the chance to be invited to the DuPree farm-cult if the next record fails. P.S The purple Eisley shirt is fabulous. _________________ "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" -Mahatma, Gandhi |

Hannah, that wasn't a snarky comment by the poster Stacy made a joke about going to live on a farm if the record fails, and inviting the audience. my video of Sad including this conversation is here (keep checking my channel, i have a bunch!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25xKEnBw6ww |

I guess that room really is designed for more acoustic-y type stuff because stuff with loud bass and drums sounds pretty bad near the front. I agree that I could hardly hear the vocals at times over the instruments. I loved the merch, but as always with the TX shows at the end of the tours we get leftover sizes... which means they never have a small left in the shirts I want. Ever. Bummer. HOWEVER we do get a nice exclusive concert poster. I think Collin said there were only a limited number printed. They're for the Austin, Houston + Dallas dates. People going to Houston and Dallas - make sure you grab one! _________________ |

i was about center and 15 feet from the stage and the sound was amazing, the vocals were clear, the levels on the drums,bass and keys were perfect and i only slightly wish the guitars were a bit louder. christie and her brother were amazing, i have no real complaints but i do wish they played my lovely as a full band, the drums really drive the song but its a super great song to hear in any capacity. eisley and the crowd was a joy to be around except a couple brainless shouts(heckles even) from someone. but we wont let anyone ruin our good night together. thanks for coming to austin, come back soon. love from san antonio, ray ss _________________ woo |

Dude, I wish there really was an Eisley Farm Cult. ...I would join. Is that weird? haha Does anyone remember the set list? I'm trying to piece it together from memory, and here's what I've got: 1. The Valley 2? Invasion and in no particular order: Brightly Wound Lost at Sea Treetops Telescope Eyes I wasn't Prepared Marvelous Things Memories Many Funerals Golly Sandra Come Clean I Could Be There For You 10 Cent Blues Sad (Another new song... can't remember the name) 17. Ambulance 18. (Encore) Trolley Wood ...Obviously, I should have started working on my playlist right after the show. My memory isn't what it used to be! |

Christie DuPree blew me away, sooo good glad I got her ep. Also eisley purple shirt is so awesome I'm wearing it now. Very good show, a little awkard in some places but it sounded good to me. Glad they brought out some oldies for this tour. Also I have never been to an Eisley show that lasted past 12 which seemed different to me. |

It was fun. I was in the back with the ginger that was sitting on the stool the staff was kind enough to provide. Fibromyalgia sux. Also, I felt like a total rockstar. Boyd recognized me! Now I know how Jaime feels. JD _________________ "Well, hopefully that's our job, to strap rockets onto everything." - Adam Savage, Mythbusters |
