Something I noticed is Pete and Patrick (and sometimes Andy) will usually come out and watch the openers together and it reminded me of something Patrick said in a interview where he was like there became this separation of band and audience where they werenāt just people playing instruments they were signing autographs and doing meet and greets and he said he missed the before a little
It just made me think about how much they all just really love music like given the opportunity I think most of the band would be right in the pit experiencing the openers with the audience (the exception being maybe Joe bc of his physical health)
Joe would cheer them on from a comfortable seat a short distance away lol
I think their desire to be in the audience is ultimately what helps them put on such a good show. They know what they would want to see and they put on that show. They are such fans at heart.
And I loved that Pete and Patrick were spotted watching the openers together. It just seemed like such a lovely way for them to really enjoy this tour they were on together, to hang out watching live music and getting a feel for the crowd and the atmosphere and the way the stage was looking.
Listening to songs by Imagine Dragons and Fall Out Boy making people think Iām emo when in reality Iām just heavily autistic and think that the songs would be good background tracks to the Lego fight scenes running through my head
