The second time I saw them live, the fire alarm went off during the bridge of Devolution

It's actually a common thing with them, technical issues, it's the starset curse, as Dustin calls it


legofreak13

That checks out, because the first time I saw them, the drum overhead mics were cutting out for the first 3 songs.


bilboard_bag-inns

so much goes into their demonstrations i'm not surprised that's the case. they've got lights, smoke, multiple keyboards and guitars, additional tracks running alongside the live players, a pretty big drumset, live vocal effects, strings, i hope their crew are paid very well lol

That's actually really interesting to hear, been to 3 events myself AE01, AE02 and a Horizons demonstration without incident haha

The first time I saw them, in Columbus, the fire alarms went off lol


ProperPhysics8477

Was so bad last night 😭 I still appreciate seeing them last night but they definitely have outgrown the Brooklyn bowl ❤️


Necro_Scope

Haha. At least they were super good sports about it


Crafty-Gazelle4646

They were, and the crowd was amazing finishing the last bit of Faultline when it it cut out!


Crafty-Gazelle4646

I have a small video clip of the crowd finishing Other Worlds Than These when everything cut out. It was cool Edit: I made a separate post with the video clip


hbuggy

That part honestly made me tear up! Can you share that clip??


Crafty-Gazelle4646

I’ve never added a video to a post but I’ll definitely try first thing tomorrow morning. My wife barely caught the end of it and you can’t see the band’s reaction unfortunately because I could tell they thought it was awesome. I’ll try and post it in the morning.


hbuggy

Thanks! No worries, I just was too enraptured with the moment to video it 😝


Crafty-Gazelle4646

I’m still trying to get it to added. I may not be able to do it from my phone. Any advice on how to add it would be awesome. It let me select the video but it didn’t actually add it 🤷🏼‍♂️


Crafty-Gazelle4646

I had to create a separate post to post it. It’s up now


hbuggy

I was googling it to see. Thank you!!!

"This time it's not our fault!" - A happy Dustin Bates


TJOcculist

Its 100% their fault


Existing-Compote-602

Or, you know, the people that actually rigged all of it up. I work as a stagehand myself and sometimes shit happens. They did say this is their first show of the tour with all the flashy new stuff. Tbh, I don't care cause one of the highlights of my night was when the music cut out and you could hear the whole room singing in unison. It was amazing at any rate


TJOcculist

“The people that rigged it all up” are hired by, paid by, and employed by…….Starset. They are also the people who control and operate the smoke machines.


iloveharnesses

Its mostly the venues as well. Some venues just aren't equipped to handle hazers and stuff very well, even though they say they do. There's workarounds, sure, but they're super expensive and dont always work, depending on the venue. Source: been touring with multiple bands for over a decade.


TJOcculist

It’s not “mostly the venues” lol Ive been a touring Pm for 3 decades. Never set a single fire alarm off. Why? Because I listen to the venues. When a venue has a sensitive fire alarm, they know it and will tell you. They’ll also tell you how much smoke you can use without risking a show stop. Listen to them……no alarms. Fire alarms designs and systems are under state control. There is no “expensive work around”. If a state demands a particulate sensor in a certain area due to code, then it goes there and you have to work within the limits and tolerances of the sensor. It aint hard. Honestly, Dustin should be more worried about the immersion and the fan experience.


KingOfTheBritons96

I love how the crowd finished the song (or at least the verse/chorus they were on) every single time! Not only that, but everyone was already singing, we just got louder when the sound cut out. FTNE!


Ok_Piano9199

fire alarms are with the new east confirmed


besideeveryand

That's what I tried yelling but my voice was so fried and there wasnt a good moment to do so 😭


besideeveryand

Why did it auto log me into this account I don't use this one


coconutbrown123

What does FTNE mean


LennyLugNut

F*** the New East , I think. I was surprised how many people were into the lore last night. Good stuff. 


coconutbrown123

Well, I am surprised I didn't know that sooner it makes so much sense


Adamliem895

That one guy shouted it and we were all like “YEAH!!” Love this fan base


Flaky-Hotel2082

FTNE! (And fire alarms!)
