Summer tour

🙁 i’m from venezuela, but i’ll see them in oxford on august 18th.

no :-(! new town kings and the hostiles i think

I’m seeing them on 4th of July, and that lineup sadly includes the Maxies, who I hear weren’t too great on their other tour.

I also don’t really like Big D, but maybe I was listening to the wrong songs. Can anyone recommend me any good Big D songs? I remember not liking “LAX” at all as one of their more well known songs, but maybe I’d like some of their other songs that I missed.

Well, this’ll be my 4th time seeing RBF, and I love SL and I’ll be seeing them for the first time here. Should be fun.

I don’t listen to Big D too much, but I’d recommend my girlfriend’s on drugs. funny song at least. there’s a few others from them I like but can’t think of at the moment.

I have my tickets for Boston. My 6th RBF show. first time seeing Big D & Goldfinger. Second time seeing SL. Hoping they have the album on sale. Really excited.

If the release is currently slated for late july, they probably just didn’t manage to finish in time. it’s possible that Rock Ridge is not a very efficient distro. These things take a little time. I’m sure they’d be selling them if they could. 

or perhaps they’re waiting for the itunes release?

Gabriel Redondo: or perhaps they\’re waiting for the itunes release?

They didn’t wait last time…

^In recent years, I’ve picked up releases A month or so in advance at shows. It’s rather foolish to wait if you can be selling product. I’ve never seen them do it.

Very jealous. Report back with as many setlists as possible (or at least for RBF/SL, obviously).

nice! post setlist please! =)!

sophie : They only played the big songs (besides Sell out and She has a girlfriend now, strangely enough)

So… Just “Beer” then? lol

Take on Me and Beer.

Well, those songs all had videos.

I Want Your Girlfriend has a video?

Sorry, was being dumb. Saw the word “girlfriend” and thought of that other song.

waiting for tonight’s setlits =)!

Where Have You Been —> Beer

No new stuff at all? Weird.

I think I saw a video with Dan singing Sandman. The quality was pretty bad, so I couldn’t really make it out what it sounded like.

And yeah, that setlist is pretty unspectacular. And short. Did they even play Trendy or SHAGFN?

that’s weird setlist hahaha.

Yes. Trendy, they played Trendy. I thought I typed that.

No, they didn’t do SHAGFN, oddly enough.

Well, the songs they skipped would’ve spiced it up a little (I’d love to hear Somebody Hates Me, since I’ve never seen them play that live). Hopefully they’ll be able to expand the songs they play a little more once I see them in July as the sole headliner without Goldfinger.

Do you happen to remember what SL/Big D played?

I didn’t watch Big D, not much of a fan.

anybody going to tomorrow’s show? 

Was there any reason for skipping songs? Like running late/venue closing?

I will be in boston tomorrow. I will take note.

Samu: Was there any reason for skipping songs? Like running late/venue closing?

I don’t know, they did cram five bands into five hours. Doors opened at 6:30, Goldfinger finished by 11:30. I can’t imagine it was because of the venue, though.

i hope they keep playing SR, i have never see them live, so when i see them that’s one part of the show i would like to see.

I’m going to the Cleveland show next week, so I’ll post the setlist. (Oh yeah, hi all first post)

Just got my tickets for RBF @ HOB in San Diego in late July. Going with my son. Can’t wait!!
My only dilemma is should I also go two nights later in Anaheim? I think I already know the answer to that question.

hi new people, glad to have you here! 

I was just about to post that. I’m officially very excited for July 4th, I just hope they keep switching up the setlist.

Also, thanks y’all for the Suburban Legends setlist. I was hoping they’d play Dude Alert, but good set nonetheless.

too bad all you can really hear lyric wise, is ‘everybody jump!’

and “it’s amazing” almost at the end, sounds great, so jealous of you guys who are going to watch them really soon!

anybody has the full setlist from yesterday?

i hope that this video is enough for Aaron to say that the song is “leaked” so he can released in great quality hahaha

Apparently Tyler Jones came out and played with them! I’m not sure what show this is, I think it was last night’s.

Yeah, that looks like the same venue. Has the same logo tapestry thing and all. Weird.

Well if even Tyler came back and played with them (from what I can find he just played Sell Out and Take On Me) I really hope Scott comes out and plays a few when they get to New York.

Somehow I doubt that will happen, but it would be awesome. Someone needs to be there recording it. … Just in case.

We all know Tyler is from and lives in New Haven Conn. He was part of Spring0Heeled Jack U.S.A. who are from there.  I am soooo jealous of everyone at that show to see him come back. Although he was really drunk and dumb in the live DVD, he is actually a really great musician. Tyler and John on the trumpet plus Dan on Trombone PLUS Matt on Sax…. amazing hornline that night

i wonder if they would do that with Tavis hahahahaha. and yeah, awesome horns.

Gabriel Redondo: i wonder if they would do that with Tavis hahahahaha. and yeah, awesome horns.

also, is cool that Aaron is using the new guitar.

Never ever will that happen lol Aaron fucking hates Tavis’s guts

hahaha i know, that’s why i said it hahaha. anyone got the full setlist?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGuPzPnFaOE

Here’s one more video of SHAGFN (Tyler sings the girl part!) and Take On Me from last night. Since SHAGFN is in the encore, it definitely seems like they’re playing more songs when they headline instead of Goldfinger, which wasn’t really the case with Streetlight since they got equal set time and neither band ever did encores. I’m glad Goldfinger’s gone when I see them, in that case. I may have to sit through the Maxies, but it’ll be worth it if RBF plays more new songs.

No full setlists or any other videos of new songs from what I can find, sadly.

saw them in Boston tonight. they played all of the hits (sans Don’t Start A Band), enter sandman, setup, good thing, your guts, F.U., kids don’t like it, in the pit, everything sucks, S.R., 241, Trendy, etc.

They also played Punisher. It was glorious. 

Beautiful Bodies, Suburban Legends, Big D And The Kids Table, Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish all put on great performances. With personal standouts being Beautiful Bodies and Big D.

I found this online, the setlist for Boston. If they actually played all of those songs, I like it. I didn’t know they separated Good Thing and Your Guts though, did Good Thing still have the trumpet solo?

Also, I didn’t even know there was a 5th band playing, so no wonder RBF’s been cutting its sets short. I don’t think it’s mentioned anywhere besides BB’s website itself. They’re only listed as playing until July 2nd, so I guess I’ll only be seeing 4 bands, unless they pick up another secret band for the 2nd leg of the tour.

that’s nice setlist!

I think BB is playing in place of The Maxies (no fucking argument here). they played acoustic. Their frontwoman is pretty fine and really good at her job. It was entertaining, but I kind of hate double-headline tours. five bands is exhausting.. three is perfect. IMO.

i wish they did that 5 bands tour over here hahaha don’t complain, just enjoy hahaha

You guys are lucky, the closest they come near my town is 130 miles away!

Here’s a full video of Punisher (and 241, but nobody cares about that) from the Boston show. It does indeed sound glorious.

I care about 241, it’s a fucking fun song.

i enjoyed more “241” than “Punisher” in that video hahaha

I’ll probably hit the Chicago show. I looked up The Maxies and I don’t want to see them. I hope they aren’t after the Suburban Legends. I’ll probably skip SL if I have to sit through The Maxies.

Last night’s Cleveland show was awesome! All the bands were good. As for RBF, they played “Don’t Stop Skankin” and “Punisher”  from the new album. Don’t Stop Skankin’ is the instrumental on the album. Sounds good to me. Makes me want the new album even more. “Coming out next year, this July!” in the words of Dan.

Thanks for the EXCLUSIVE! DON’T STOP SKANKIN’- INSTRUMENTAL

Sweet, I love instrumentals. I hope they just keep playing more and more new songs.

Also, I think SL’s been playing first all tour so far, can anyone confirm this? I figure if that ends up happening at the show I’m going to I’ll just stay in the crowd for SL and RBF and hang out in the back to relax during the Maxies and Big D.

Alex: Sweet, I love instrumentals. I hope they just keep playing more and more new songs.

Once the Maxies join up with the tour there is NO WAY they could go on after Sl. I just dont see how that’s possible…

and you remember the full setlist brian?

Gabriel Redondo: and you remember the full setlist brian?

I tried to remember as much as I could. I posted it here, there is a good chance it is out of order though. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/reel-big-fish/2012/house-of-blues-cleveland-oh-7bdf0ef8.html

[End Quote, I can’t quote right]

With Beautiful Bodies it went like this: BB, SL, Big D, Goldfinger, and finally RBF.

Holy crap, they played The Fire? How’d that sound? That’s one I never thought they’d play live without two guitars.

Alex: Holy crap, they played The Fire? How\’d that sound? That\’s one I never thought they\’d play live without two guitars.

It was good! They said they never play it because “it’s a terrible song”. Also, Aaron played backing guitar with Goldfinger.

Sweet. I hope RBF keeps randomly playing obscure songs on the rest of the tour.

no trendy? aww 🙁 hahaha

Gabriel Redondo: no trendy? aww 🙁 hahaha

That upsets me, I forgot to put Trendy! I was so excited because I thought they weren’t gonna play it!

Brian:

Alex: Holy crap, they played The Fire? How\\\’d that sound? That\\\’s one I never thought they\\\’d play live without two guitars.

It was good! They said they never play it because \”it\’s a terrible song\”. Also, Aaron played backing guitar with Goldfinger.

They used to all love The Fire, including Aaron. I wonder what happened. It sounded fine with only one guitar? Hmm, I’d kind of like to see that, that’s one I’ve never seen live.

According to this Tumblr post, Scott was at the NYC show! Whether or not he played with the band is still a mystery, but he was apparently indeed there.

Good interview with Ryland and Dan in Buffalo a few days ago.

Interesting tidbit: they actually have played IKYTWTLYA live, or at least at sound check, and Matt sings the girl part. That’s hardly a surprise, but that’d be funny to see live.

Triple post, but for those interested here’s videos of The Promise and Don’t Stop Skankin’ live.

The Promise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn-MX14RUuQ
Don’t Stop Skankin’: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfv-rSj8K5w

Waiting for the Fort Lauderdale concert to start now. I got to meet Aaron and Ryland at the 4th of july meet n greet, and I met both Brians from Suburban Legends as well. I got the live album signed as well as Suburban Legends’ new album. Aaron said they were planning on playing Punisher, so here’s hoping.

The Maxies are playing first, so at least I get that out of the way quickly.

I’m back, and the concert was awesome as usual. Here’s what I can remember in a jumbled order. It was the standard setlist (they played every song that you’d expect them to always play) with a few little goodies thrown in.

The Kids Don’t Like It/In The Pit
Another F.U. Song
I Want Your Girlfriend to Be My Girlfriend
Snoop Dogg, Baby
Everything Sucks
Good Thing
Trendy
Don’t Stop Skankin’
Enter Sandman (watching Dan “forget” the lyrics is much funnier when watching it live)
The Set Up
Brown Eyed Girl
Where Have You Been
The Fire (sounded great with the saxophone, they should start playing this live more often)
Your Guts
Punisher (I was “that guy” as the only one who knew all the words, but it was fantastic)
Ban the Tube Top
S.R.
Beer
Sell Out
She Has A Girlfriend Now
Take On Me

Overall, this band never gets old, and I’m glad I had time to learn the new songs before hearing them live. Awesome concert.

well it’s finally my turn to see them tonight. My life will change tonight…. for the first time ever,  my top 3. fav bands of my life!

Alex, I was there….and sang every single word of “Punisher”, loved it!!! I stoked a spot at the front when SL started around 6, and held my position at front stage right the whole night throughout the show.  It was indeed a life changing experience, my first show.  SO awesome.

I got Rylands drum stick as he threw it out at the end of the show! And Johnny Christmas’s autograph on my new RBF shit, and talked with him for a while; he said the reason he kept looking at my cousin the whole show was because she was “the spitting image of my (his) niece” as he said.  Really a good guy, showed alot of love to the fans after the show.

Alex, where were you for the “Braveheart Charge” during the Goldfinger set, that was fucking wild!

*EDIT- Alex, are you talking about the Charlotte show or the FL show?  The set lists are identical, I was at the Charlotte show, so thought you were talking about that.

If you were at the FL show, you don’t know what the “Braveheart Charge” is…as Goldfingers last show was in Charlotte.

Brave Heart Charge? Is that what the Planet Smashers used to do? They’d make the crowd split down the middle so you have about 10-15 feet in between then you have to charge at the opposing side when the music starts.

jrock241: Brave Heart Charge? Is that what the Planet Smashers used to do? They\’d make the crowd split down the middle so you have about 10-15 feet in between then you have to charge at the opposing side when the music starts.

Exactly, and Darren got right in the middle of it.

john: *EDIT- Alex, are you talking about the Charlotte show or the FL show?  The set lists are identical, I was at the Charlotte show, so thought you were talking about that.

I am talking about the FL show, maybe that wasn’t clear. I’m glad they had the same setlist though, based on what they’ve played this tour I love the song selection they decided on for my show.

And nice work on Ryland’s drumstick. I almost caught his second one, but the guy in front of me ended up with it. The stuff I got signed before the show was more than enough to compensate, though.

For everyone who’s seen them: Did they do the “Tide is High” joke at any other shows? After one of their songs, Aaron played and sang a little of “The Tide is High” and said he ripped off that song. Unfortunately, I don’t remember what song it was.

SHAGFN

They didn’t play that song at my show…I’m getting so annoyed trying to remember.

Tonight is the night 🙂 Fuckin stoked

Great show as always. Began the night by running into Aaron at Hooters before the concert. I didn’t do the super fan thing, I left him alone. I said hi but that was it. I’m not concerned with more.

They played PS I Hate you and Don’t stop skankin. My legs are sore from skankin so much. I’m old 🙁

Also, they played Your Guts and they ended it with the song/rip off joke of Tide is High. They also did it after SHAGFN as well.

Correction: when I say not concerned for more, I mean I have met him and all that and am content with those memories.

Oh and they had the new album on sale. Free with the purchase of their hoodie. I got the hoodie but opted to grab the newer release of the best of us 3 disc set instead (for free :))

Also, not a fan of the Big D band that played… Just wasn’t a fan.

I guess that could be considered an interview. Don’t interviews usually involve the exchange of information, though?

And nice use of old footage. Where’s the saxophone player?

Yeah, I wasn’t too into Big D. I like some of their stuff a good amount, and it was my first time seeing them live. I probably won’t go out of my way to see them live again…

On the other hand, I fucking loved The Maxies actually. They were fucking crazy and had a ridiculous stage presence

finally i’m going to see them for the first time this saturday! :)!!!!

it… was… awesome!
