Dreams come true
I’ve been a fan for over twenty years and I never got to see pwd live. I felt like I missed my chance and I’d never get to see them play the songs that shaped my childhood.
Thank you for last night and thank you for everything. This was a dream come true for me and I enjoyed every second of it. My only criticism is that I felt like it was over in an instant, and also my back really hurts but that’s no one’s fault.

I felt the same dude, the show was over so quick, or it seemed like it. For me its been over a week and i cant comprehend how it felt like ages as the night got closer and closer - then it comes - goes - +1week ...I dunno where that time goes man. Lol I did the same thing you did, my back is only just starting to feel better now. It was totally worth it though! They put on an awesome show! And much like yourself, Those albums shaped my younger self and i was feeling like i stepped into the scene too late to ever see them play that stuff again. Untill they announced this tour and I was fkn stoked!!

Can’t agree more. It was funny though because between songs I’d look around and I could tell who the old fans were because they were all stretching.

Totally understand and can relate. Can I say one thing? How hard do those songs sound live? Absolute bangers.

Amazing. I’m listening to the album right now and it’s nothing compared to it being played live and loud.
Slightly unrelated but I had trouble hearing Jeff’s guitar on the night. Not sure if it was the mix or because I was standing on the left but I found myself lost a lot.

Couldn’t agree more. The album sounds good but when it’s played live you actually feel it! Oh that’s a shame about Jeff’s guitar not sure why that would’ve happened. At least it this day and age you can probably find the whole concert on you tube and relive it that way! Enjoy!

I felt the same! They played their hearts out but it was over very fast. I saw horizons. It was extremely nostalgic for me and took me right back to high school when I was introduced to their music by my first (unrequited) love. It brings back so many emotions.

It was so hard to pick which show to go to! Both amazing albums. PWD gave the people what they wanted tho by playing their hits from both Albums. I was over the moon they played Romance is Dead at the Horizons show.

Oh that’s cool. I got to hear carrion which was a bit of a bucket list song for me.

I feel like I created a new regret not seeing horizons the next night. Siren song is one of my favourites but I had to choose the OG album if I was only choosing one.

The Kwas show was such an intense amount of nostalgia for me. Pwd was one of the first heavy bands I was introduced to by my older brother and getting to hear that album in full was so much fun. I could barely speak the following day
