#hslot: las vegas

[hslllot]

yeah I’m reminiscing…..

some people were critical about the vegas show because it was the first one and there wasn’t a lot of interaction…. but I’m telling you that seeing him pop out of the floor wearing that sparkly pink vest for the first time was so special … for so many reasons, this was one of the best days of my life

Fine Line (the song) as Harry’s emotional barometer: a thesis

Fine Line, my beloved. It belongs to my favourite type of songs by male vocalists: straining tenor songs about longing.

Fine Line is the closing track on the album which shares its name. Track 13 on the album Harry held for months so he could release it on Dec. 13, 2019. Blondie’s 30th birthday; the preshow playlist that night featured 2 tracks from Lover. It is haunting on the album, and live it’s even better.

Harry begins while quietly strumming his moon and stars/galaxy guitar with the fox on it. He often starts low, shifting into the upper register for lines like “You sunshine, you temptress. My hand’s at risk, I fold…”. It builds to a musical crescendo where he cries out one final “we’ll be alriiiiiiight” while horns and guitar and keys and percussion swell. It a weeper for me, and a no skip always.

Now that the tour is over, I can find all the stats, and there are some interesting trends;

During the first shows of HSLOT, in the fall of 2021, it was the final song on the set list prior to encore.

Here it is on opening night in Las Vegas, with the loveliest speech to introduce it

Here’s Tacoma where before singing it, he begs people to tell those they love that they love them:

Sometimes, he seems to be up in his feels and chooses not to sing the final line. He thanks the city instead, as he does here on the final night of the 2021 US leg:

He releases Harry’s House on May 20, 2022. He starts touring in European stadiums in June in Glasgow, and Love of My Life has replaced Fine Line as the set list closer.

At the first concert, he plays it midset between Boyfriends and Satellite, and it seems to be too emotional to do at that point in the show. It disappears after that.

He plays a particularly emotional version, following LOML and as actual main setlist finale, at the final European show in Lisbon in July 2022.

It vanishes from the setlist after that. It becomes the most requested song, even more then Medicine since Medicine is played from time to time.

He plays it for a 3rd time in 2022, in São Paulo. Coming out to do the ONLY second encore he’s done on tour, on Dec. 13, 2022 he plays it. (In true Harry fashion, he’s wearing a flag as a skirt because he’s ripped the crotch of his Gucci jumpsuit while 🕺).

He finishes, and in Portuguese thanks the city, the fans, and “Fine Line”.

Think I am kidding? Here are the times he played it in 2022, as per the stats:

He does not touch it during the bonus North American dates, nor in Australia/New Zealand or Asia.

Imagine my shock watching a livestream from Horsens, Denmark on May 13, 2023 when FINE LINE replaces LOML as the main set finale; it remains in that spot for the entire European leg of 2023.

And there are some doozies. On May 28th, on night 2 in Edinburgh, he sings the most emotional rendition I had ever seen. I wept through the livestream.

For interest’s sake, the night before while at MetLife Taylor released YLM and sang Maroon for the first time.

Another doozy of a performance was n3 of Wembley on June 16th

And he continues to perform the song with high levels of emotionality, all the way to the end of the tour on July 22nd.

That night, he performs the only other 2nd encore of the 169+ shows, a 10 minute instrumental piano ballad, and original composition which he introduces after by saying in Italian: “I wrote this for you, just for tonight”.

Thoughts?

Apart from the LA ONO and the London ONO for FL, Harry has never, as a solo artist, been single for a tour show. Let that sink in. The night HS1 dropped, he performed at the garage in London and the chef was there (papped leaving alone) They then replaced her with CR who was at the second date of the theatre tour in San Francisco. They ended that “relationship” the week after HSLOT finished. She who shall not be named was at the first show in Las Vegas in sept 2021…and we all know what happened”

And yet, he's still not going to fuck any of you weirdos.

#who is they? think carefully before you expose yourself here #asks

Did you see the sphere has reported a 98m loss? Harry will definitely be playing there soon. They know harries are the easiest to rip off and over charge for his sub par show.

I posted an article about it weeks ago:

They already tested residencies during HSLOT. //

The residencies were a test to see if he could sell enough tickets to make a future stadium tour of the US viable. The next time we see him perform will most likely be on a stadium tour of the US in 2025.

Maybe he'll do a few nights at the Sphere as part of that tour, but most of the other dates will be in stadiums like Sofi and MetLife. He's already in stadiums everywhere else in the world. Why would he play 15 nights at a 20k arena again when he now knows he could do four nights at an 80k stadium instead and charge more for the tickets?

If they wanted to test a stadium tour, they would have put him in a stadium. They tested to see how well and how often he could sell out consecutive nights--to see if his fans would buy tickets to see the same show over and over in the same place.

He just did a big tour; he's not ready to do that again. A residency is a quick way to make money in between without the stress of a full-blown tour.

Also, The Sphere needs huge headliners, like Harry Edward Styles, to recoup the money it cost to build it.

And, I really swear, you people never look into the details that motivate his decisions:

Papa Azoff is still involved with The Sphere. That's why his client, U2, was the first act to play there. That's why Harry Edward Styles would play there.
