I'm not the biggest blink-182 fan, but they are coming to my city and it's tempting to see the original line-up back together. Tickets ain't cheap, however.
I especially enjoyed Hoppus wearing Flames silks and them trashing Edmonton at various points.
I decided that I'm just going to pretend they didn't do the same thing for No Goodville last night.
Solid show. The pitch correction for Tom really helps him live. That way he can do all his weird slurring and "woahs" and at least sound in key. No shame in it given the improvement it makes.

I've been to a lot of "sell outs" at the Dome, but that was the fullest crowd Ive ever been a part of. They even had people behind the video screens, basically peaking through down to the stage, lol.
Only downer was Travis going up in the air drumming while the drum stage spins around is such a cool part of the tour. Mark announced sometime during the show that they were told they couldn't do it at the Dome because of the roof couldn't support it. I liked his quip "probably because of all those banners up there".

I initially thought the 3 guys in bunny suits on the floor were put in by Blink as they've done in the past, but we spoke to them after and they were just paying fans in bunny suits, lol. They said the third guy got kicked out for something half way through.
Yeah, we spotified some Turnstile while pre drinking with the group and collectively decided to pass, but then ended up earlier than we thought and caught them. They were fantastic, amazing energy.
They really won over the crowd by the end, too. Had a solid 10000 people in seats out of the 15000 or whatever, you rarely see that with smaller openers.
Just a heads up since many posters don't go into buy sell. I have two tickets to the Headstones at the new Back Alley stampede tent. It's Monday, July 10th.
I paid $105 all in for the two, but am just looking to get $50 for the pair if anyone is interested. Should be a fun show.
Clearly doing the Spinal tap Simpsons gag, even looks at the back of his guitar before saying "Edmonton". Shelbyville totally bought it, but I'm sure Calgary did too. Just playing up a rivalry, as if they could name 3 things about either city to care about.

One bunny got kicked out for crowd surfing... or attempting to crowd surf. He didn't make it very far.
I saw 2 girls dressed up as the nurse from the cover of Enema Of The State!
I appreciated the fact that Tom and Mark are basically age 50(?) and are still cracking juvenile humor. Mom jokes and never get old. I cant believe they even played Family Reunion. hahaha.
