Concert Footage Caspian - Leeds
ASIWYFA were good but I’d waited so fucking long to see Caspian. They were amazing. If you’re seeing them in this tour you’re in for a treat.

I'm going to the Manchester show tonight, bit disappointed that Casipan have a shorter set, as from the Leeds setlist, it looks like they aren't going to play some of their best tracks. I'm sure that it'll be a great night though, ASIWYFA are great too but I'm not into them as much as Caspian, maybe tonight will change my mind.

Was there last night... I was really looking forward to Caspian and they were great. Shorter set but played a good mix of tracks.
I didn't really know any ASIWYFA going into it and didn't have any expectations but they were absolutely ace! So much energy (and bass!)

Was a very weird crowd last night in the sense that I'd say it was a direct 50/50 split for who wanted to see Caspian or ASIWYFA - I was firmly in the Caspian camp and they absolutely smashed it, only the 2nd time I've managed to see them but I hope it isn't as long between shows as it was this time.
New album on repeat all day too, so fucking good!

Obviously knew how good Caspian are live but I was not expecting to well up so much for the new album, it felt truly special

New album??? Thanks for the heads up on that, I didn't know it was released yesterday. With 6 tracks and 38+ minutes, it's sure to be a gem.

Oh Caspian on first?? Good to know. I'm going to see them more than ASIWYFA (apologies!)

u/SpiritedAd1896 1d ago
I think it’s billed as a co-headline tour so they might rotate just fyi

Yeah I was wondering if that was the case. Good to know though, need to get there earlyish.

Caspian have posted set times for tonight on their Instagram story. They’re on at 20:20 :)

I'd say they'll rotate but ASIWYFA probably go last for the Irish gigs, so maybe Caspian will get a few more for the other nights

Awesome, seeing them in Dublin end of the month 🤟 the new album is good and that setlist is great I think (if short but that's what co-headline gets you).
I imagine ASIWYFA will play last for the home gigs

Going to see them in Glasgow tomorrow. Anyone know if they have copies of The Four Trees on vinyl??

u/SunnyOfGretna 1d ago
Ah that's a shame, still at least I can get the new album and a shirt

Technically owned it before it was out but 2 and a half hour drive home counted for nothing 🤣

From where this picture was taken I was stood pretty much just behind you! Absolutely incredible gig, I've seen ASIWYFA a million times who are always excellent, but that was only my 3rd time seeing Caspian. Probably my favourite live post-rock band along with 65daysofstatic.

Seeing them in London later this month and am so excited. Did they play Wild Blood or Sycamore at all? Those are two tracks I really want to hear live but they didn't play last time they came here.
