It’s one thing to celebrate the anniversary of an album that put a band on the map, but it’s another to do it on a tour with filled venues and fans singing along to the lyrics that made your music memorable. The Amity Affliction are living that experience while performing Let The Ocean Take Me live on tour.
Seeing The National filled was a pleasant sight as most of the venue was ready as soon as Mugshot took stage. The tour also supported by Currents and Dying Wish, this was a heavy night with strong support for the headliner. Halfway through The Amity Affliction’s set, singer Joel Birch asked the crowd, “Do you still have gas in the tank, Richmond?” It was that continued motion and amplification that proved this wasn’t just a band going through the motions to sell 10 year anniversary merch. The full setlist made sure the audience relived the glory days of Let The Ocean Take Me while also performing recent hits. The night was a look back at everything The Amity Affliction has accomplished up to 2024.
As said in the short below, I’m glad I went to this tour. From top to bottom this was a good night with a good crowd. I’m happy that heavy music is still getting audiences for bands both wanting nostalgia as well as something new.
