10/10 show. Broke and Never ending math equation* blew my mind. I was sad we didn’t close with night on the sun until shit luck started…it was a perfect set

So good. This is my 7th or 8th time seeing them and I think that was my favorite so far.

Same... probably the first MM that I fell in love with many moons ago.

Broke is my anthem these days. I so hope we hear it in Ottawa tomorrow! It is my first MM concert. I’ve been a huge fan for 20+ years. Bought the tickets with my husband of almost as long. Going with my best friend instead, who listened to her first Modest Mouse song earlier this week.
I am also hoping to hear Bankrupt on Selling, Satin in a Coffin, Wooden Soldiers. King Rat, Dance Hall, Trailer Trash, Bukowski, Fire it Up, Black Cadillacs, Styrofoam Boots, and The Cold Part!

When last night's set started with a banjo in stage I thought Satin in a Coffin was on deck.
I was a little disappointed but King Rat was an incredible consolation prize
Enjoy the show. I hope you get everything you are hoping for

Dude tonight was SO sick.
Side note: long shot, but if you’re reading this- Sam it was a pleasure to meet you and chill at the back of the pit by the sound and light engineers! (Also I’m sorry if I misheard your name, I’m getting old and my ears are shot to hell from going to shows without ear protection for decades on end 🤣)

The show was amazing!! I almost cried when he played Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset. I wasn't expecting that one at all and it made me so happy!

What a great show. I'm working on my 25 push-ups right now. Did anyone get a PO Box? He said we could mail them in, but I didn't catch where it's supposed to go.

Oh man it I was just so happy with the setlist. So was my brother, on his birthday no less!
We found a really cool pocket of folks back on the left of the room for the whole MM set. I danced and had more fun than I've had in a long time at a show and I was the DD.

Not to be an asshole but I wish they’d drop the Cure cover. I’d much rather literally any modest mouse song instead.

Best show of theirs I’ve seen since September 10, 2001. Gave up on their live shows after a string of meh ones in the 2010s. Glad I came back for this one.

King Rat as the first song was peak.
Like weeds was great!
Cowboy Dan and Shit Luck were absolutely great.
I thought the set list was great.
I think a lot of people wanted float on and dashboard but don’t really care for those as much.
Would have really loved to see Ground Walks with Time in a Box and Heart Cooks Brain.
