I'm surprised I haven't seen much on here about their show at Outbreak in Manchester last Sunday, so I thought I'd share my thoughts.

This was the fourth time I've seen La Dispute and it was by far their best performance yet. The energy that Jordan and all of the band brought was incredible.

Credit for the energy also has to be given to the audience and Outbreak for facilitating that. The last time I saw them was for the 10 year Wildlife anniversary and the crowd was absolutely abysmally boring, so it was so exhilarating to go to a no barrier show and experience stage invasions and diving.

Everything about it was perfect, from the set list to the vocals. I'm so happy for La Dispute that they've had an increase in popularity recently and I'm happy for the new fans who've discovered such an amazing band. I hope future shows will be something like this one and I can't wait for the official Outbreak footage to come out so I can relive it.

Was anyone else there and if so what was your experience?

Holy shit. I am insane about Landlord.

I have nothing substantial to say. I just really love Landlord. I hope La Dispute knows I am Landlords, maybe, like top 24 fans.

That is all thank you for your time.

If they don’t play it in sydney I WILL sook.

So good

Anyone else catch them play Brudenell last night?

It was my fifth time seeing them and I think maybe the best yet. The genuine love the band have for that venue was so cool to see and the energy was amazing. Jordan has never sounded better IMO, the rest of the band were impeccable (even with failing equipment), the setlist was full of gems (ending w ECF and then small hands - damn!).

Felt super privileged to see them play the first few tracks off of NOWDTC at Brude last year, and then see them wrap up their Europe dates here again. A real full circle moment, as Jordan said.

Also shout out the supports, both killed it. And a great crowd too. I saw them in Manchester recently and it bugged me a bit that the crowd talked over some of the quieter bits of the set, but last night you could've heard a pin drop when Jordan and Chad did NOWDTC. Proper chills moment.

The La Dispute songs that are much softer, best heard with Headphones.

For me it’s “In Northern Michigan”
