They need to do an acoustic set playing old songs ALL this way, but only if Tom comes back, again... Thanks for the video, wish I could have been there.
i love how they are playing all these songs that they havent played live in FOREVER!! like wasting time, waggy, reckless abandon, going away to college, and all of this! :D they need to play more old songs like this from now on! like just at least one or two into their setlist :)
damn, Mark must've had to relearn the lyrics to this song again, overall its great to see that they still embrace the old stuff that got them to where they are right now
Love how nobody notices Marks wife Skye and his son Jack in the bottom right the whole time, i was right at the front and couldn't believe my eyes when they came out behind everyone. Best night of my entire life, i caught Travis' stick and Toms guitar pic!
This is AMAZING. What legends, they completely smashed the crap out of this performance and I love that they still have the same feel they did before when playing old classics.
And how do you know that? Tom doesn't even consider AvA a band, he calls it an "art project". He also says that it is a continuation of Box Car Racer, which was still just a side project. AvA gives Tom the freedom to experiment, but his heart will always be with Blink. I'm glad that he's working on both since they both make fucking awesome music.
This acoustic set was towards the end of the gig, they re-appeared near the back of the arena so all the other fans who were near the front were now behind them sadly. Still an awesome time though!
i was born in 97 and didnt get into blink until about 2nd grade, and yeah (thanks to kids bop) i bought enema as my first album, but i fell in love with blink. so then i got dude ranch and cheshire. i eventually got every cd including the mark tom and travis show. even though im 15 i still know just every song by heart. its not about age. its about how much you really love blink182. hahaha
I was at that gig and I was shocked that no one was singing along....I think a lot of people there were new fans.....I've been a fan since I was 16 and considering I turned 27 this year I know all of their stuff.....It was such a brilliant moment!x
Amazing. They didn't perform any acoustic tracks last Friday, I'm just hoping they carry this on until the 26th July at Brixton. Can't wait either way.
ANYONE FROM DUBLIN, IRELAND HERE ???? How much did we get shafted ? They play acoustic sets at every show bar Dublin, which lets face it, is one of the best venue's on tour. I feel hard done by. Anyone else agree ?

I hope EVERY fan at this show one day realises how lucky they were to witness this.
Amazing performance.
If you didn't impress her with your band then, Mark, I'm sure you did now!
look at the way jack pays attention to his father singing ♥
Where is that creature?
Mark's wife: "I am married to a God"
Mark's son: "Where am I?"
He looks like hes never seen his father sing
Skye: visibly bored
Jack: stares at his dad singing

+Darius Unknown I couldn't agree more with you

This song was made for acoustic, so damn amazing.
Sooo happy Mark's voice hasn't changed
Mark's vocal and Tom's guitar tone are really awesome...!!
I can't believe how lucky I was to actually witness this in person it was surreal and I shall never forget this moment it was amazing !

Yep, blink's still got it after all. My favorite song off Cheshire followed by "Touchdown Boy". This video really made my day. Thank you.
