tour: The Wourld Tour

rec-rated: 8/10

comments: I was looking forward to this show for months, but bought the tickets the day of (was hoping they would drop, and honestly should’ve bought them a week or two earlier). The last time I saw them was in 2018 at Terminal 5 in NYC, and it was an amazing show. Jesse crowd-surfed and fully embraced the rockstar energy then. Eight years later, they definitely did not disappoint: the visuals, sound, and vocals were all great, though it felt like it was missing a bit of the carefree spark they had back then. Still, the vibe was strong, and I was singing my heart out to almost every song. I wish I had gotten the photo pass (one day). I was a bit annoyed that they reposted a story on their Instagram with the Boston set times and then came on 15 minutes early; I barely made it to my spot after waiting in a long line just to have my canned beer poured into a plastic cup by one person doing the whole job (was very unnecessary, sipping my beer with a straw was something). It was also my first time at TD Garden, and the venue felt oddly confining for a rock show, so I am not in a rush to be back. Overall: great show, questionable venue, would absolutely see them again.
