They came through Milwaukee in May of 2015. They didn't play a 15,000 seat arena here, either. Maybe that's for the best, I dunno. What I do know is that it was a great show with just the right mix of "play the hits," and some deeper-but not too deep- stuff.
On YouTube, someone posted cellphone footage of the concert. It's low-res, sometimes out of focus, and a little shifty. IOW, it's perfect for the subject.
During that first riff of "Bastards of Young" you can here someone just out of frame yell "F--K YEAH." it sounds more cathartic than anything else, and if pressed to describe the show I usually just point to that.
Cathartic is a great way to describe it. What made the Forest Hills show so special was that it felt like a communal catharsis at just the right point in time.

Time it was, and what a time it was...This was indeed a magical performance!
