Venues for Johnny Blueskies

I'm glad he did the arena tour but Jack White did the same thing and didn't love the huge venue and didn't sell out each arena. JW went back to playing smaller venues and had pop up shows in really intimate// tiny venues. I would love to see JBS do this next go.

Last night was amazing!

Last night was the best concert I have ever seen. We have seen him before but never up close. It was perfect and could not have been better. It was such a well paced show. From start to finish I was entertained, I didn’t think I could be left wanting more after a 3 hour show but I was.

Thought this photo was cool from last night.

We managed to snag a setlist at the end! I was curious if anyone knew what the symbols on the setlist mean? They seem to have some sort of meaning to whose setlist it was.

Unfortunately can’t make to any other stops this tour. Can’t wait for the next one whenever that is.

Holy shit what a show! Fantastic night all around other than the man sleeping literally the entire show next to me in section 16. Now I’m itching to go to the DC show!

Brooklyn Setlist - October 16, 2025

Post image
133 Upvotes

Last nice show in Brooklyn looks like a face-melter [on paper].

The trifecta (Fastest Horse, Flows, and Mars) plus Sitting Here (which seems to have worked it way into the routine fairly consistently of late). Also - any set with I Don't Mind is a winner in my book. The tour-rare In-Bloom. This is damn near the perfect set list.

FUK YEA.

Edit: Call to Arms was not played.

I've seen more bands than I can remember, in venues of every size, and I've never seen a show quite like that. What a performance by the band.

Nugs (Thankful)

52 Upvotes

I know they are a business and making that $, but I am grateful for them and Big Stu for having his shows posted there. I’ve seen a few shows this tour and it only makes me listen to his live sets that much more. It’s so cool listening to the subtle differences (or big) between sets and arrangements.

These live songs are killer I hope we always have access, it’s all I listen to now!

Intermixing songs

6 Upvotes

One of the things I love about their shows are the little bits they play of other songs, it's like a scavenger hunt. I was at the Philly show and thought they were about to play Everyday People before You Don't Miss Your Water. At each show I've been to I've heard a little Zeppelin or The Doors if they didn't just play a full song. One that I couldn't figure out from the Philly show was during Brace for Impact but it just hit me. Towards the end they mixed in Heroes by Bowie. Any other examples to look into?

Questions for the Charleston locals

6 Upvotes

My wife and I are making the trip to Charleston next weekend to see the boys again.

Does Credit One Stadium allow clear poster tubes? Their website does not address poster tubes directly.

Also, we are staying at a hotel on Daniel Island and plan to visit the Charleston Historic District. Any other recommendations for a couple visiting Charleston for the first time?

We are huge Danny McBride fans and know he has shot in/around Charleston for some of his shows. I haven't found any McBride/Roughhouse tours online, but we would love something like that...We always misbehavin'

Why aren't there more of his Livestreams? Was excited to watch the Chicago or Detroit shows but they're not on Nugs. Anyone know why?

What’s the full list of names he’s used to fill in for Hunter? I’ve only listened to a few sets where he changed it, what have I missed?

JBC&tDC
Dennis Rodman
Aroldis Chapman

Did Brooklyn get one?
Does he go Marion Berry for DC??

Been seeing some silly comments lately. Goofy dancing, Billy shirts, deadheads, big heads in cowboy hats?? Can't we all just get along?

awesome posters every event has, I’m still sour about the Pittsburgh situation. The show was top tier, the boys face melted, but damn man seeing all these bomb ass posters makes me wish we could have something on the store, anyways, rant over.

Physical stamina of the band

68 Upvotes

Ten days on from my first show. Still in awe of the performance and one of the lingering curiosities that has been on my mind is: how exhausted do you think the band is after putting on such a show? I would love to look at a HR monitor and some biometrics on the drummer after a three hour set like that. He and Sturgill seem to have the most physically demanding task on stage as the lead guitar guy was booted up and on a still for much of the show (heard he sprained his ankle the poor guy). Just super impressive and super grateful I got to experience it. Has to be one of the best shows I’ve been to!
