Ok, my turn sharing sample sources!

"We shall ask you to forget our former pranks and playfulness. We ask you, in the name of dignity and art, to put yourselves in a receptive frame of mind. And now, to an all-musical program."	0:00 - 0:15	A Car-Tune Portrait (1937)	YouTube link at 2:00
"Hey, you wanna go for a ride? No Thanks. No thanks. What does that mean? I don't wanna go. Go where? For a ride. A ride? Hell, that's a good idea!"	0:45 - 1:00	Blue Velvet (1986)	YouTube link at 0:45
"What's your name, neighbor?"	1:13 - 1:15	Blue Velvet (1986)	YouTube link at 0:31
"Who is this fuck?"	1:43 - 1:44	Blue Velvet (1986)	YouTube link at 0:13
"Shut the fuck up"	3:18 - 3:19	Blue Velvet (1986)	YouTube link at 0:38

There are a few more that I can't identify, at 2:09, and then at 2:35 ("Media, Your Phone, Corruption, Power, Drugs, Media, Money, Corruption, Power, Control, Control, Control, Control").

I almost got sticker shock and didn't snag this, but am very glad I did. Initially I didn't realize it was foil and came in a tube already, so that helped explain the $60 tag. Very happy with it!

On https://www.rufusdusol.com/ there's a link to be able to watch a Feed of tonight's show! After clicking on the button, there's a message "Tag .@RUFUSDUSOL to enter the Feed"

I don't know where exactly? Instagram, perhaps? Someone figure it out and share how to do it here (or if you just get a link to a site, share that!)
^(I feel dumb not knowing what I'm supposed to do here...)

A few months ago I created a poll here about what we'd hope to see if Rufus decided to change their setlist for the 2026 run of shows.

While it's looking less likely that there will be any change, and we should all probably just expect to see something very similar to what they did last year, with the first show of the North America leg happening tomorrow, I thought it would still be fun to share the results of the poll.

Overall, we're dying to see Until the Sun Needs to Rise. The Atlas songs all made a very strong showing as well.

Personally, I was happy with the setlist last year, but my biggest wish is if they'd just add in I Don't Wanna Leave.

Full results can be seen here. Enjoy the shows, everyone, post back here to share your experiences. I'm looking forward to Boulder!

I just saw Bob Moses last night in Salt Lake City. With only 6 shows left on this tour, it's maybe a bit late for a review, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

This was my 4th time seeing them, but only the first time with them as headliners - all other shows I'd seen were when they opened for others. And I gotta say, it was a really fantastic show. Their energy was great, they were really locked in with the songs which all sounded tight and well practiced. Tom's voice was so good! Even after a month on the road, and 20 shows behind them, he still sounded fresh and was able to hit the high falsettos just fine. And the drummer was on point, too.

I've seen other people mention it too, but the Blink songs played live really work. I like the album, but had worried about how they'd translate to a live show. But I feel like they still kept the energy going, and didn't feel as melancholy or introspective as they do on the album, and the bulk of the crowd seemed familiar with them and were also really into them. The crowd in general was actually really great, everyone was having a good time, lots of dancing and jumping around and good vibes all around me (I was dead center, about 4 or 5 rows back). I was happy they came to Utah, and they seemed pleased and surprised with the turnout, and the venue was pretty packed.

I really liked the new song - "Comes Back to You", here's a recording I got of it, and I'm really looking forward to that being officially released. And "Closer" was fun and unexpected from Bob Moses, considering how "clean" their own songs are, so for them to throw that one in there, it was a tone shift, but still worked as a surprise for the crowd. My favorite of the night was probably Enough to Believe, but that's one of my all time favorites of theirs. Afterglow was great, too, and when it moved into the break/chorus it hit really hard.

If you use YouTube Music, I created a playlist of their setlist from this tour.

I imagine most of us here have seen them on this tour by now, would love to hear your impressions. And if you haven't caught them yet and you're on the west coast, I'd highly recommend making it to one of their shows.
