Rainbow Megamix :: Help Needed!

The Rainbow Megamix Mini Project has been going officially for a week now and it keeps growing with each show looking incredible, the rainbows flying during All This Time and SIBWAWC. Every volunteer reports how excited people are to wave their rainbows during those songs and the flags are always gone incredibly quickly, giving them a rush of excitement and happiness seeing them fly high after.

The project has already been an amazing success, but we still need your help!

We have one show that as of now does not have any volunteers to help pass out flags that we will send to you! If you are attending the show in Hollywood, Florida and are willing to be of assistance, please let us know! You can find all of the up to date volunteer information here, and if you're willing to volunteer for any of the other upcoming fitfwt shows, please reach out. We would love to have you! Thanks again! 🌈 13 July - Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood (Hollywood, FL)

Louis has always ALWAYS delivered an impeccable show but his confidence lately makes everything even better and hotter. Ever since that Troutdale show it's been INSANE (even more so than usual) and i'm not complaining. I love that for him actually. He was born to be perform and seeing him so happy and confident (especially after watching aotv), having the best time on stage fills my heart with happiness and pride 😌❤️‍🩹

Hi, how was your show!!!??

Thank you for asking! It was great, OBVIOUSLY. I saw Louis play a short set in late 2019, but was not able to go to Walls tour, so this was my first time at a proper tour show (in Berkeley last night) and it was brilliant! I have been trying to figure out what to say besides that though cause tbh there are two posts I want to make. So… both? First for my recap- it was so loud, like the music was just normal concert loud but I had to plug my ears against the screaming between songs cause it was way louder- I just figured it was the in person experience difference but no, Louis confirmed, “you guys have been so fucking loud in here tonight, it's actually been hard for me to hear” so GO US! The chokingly thick haze of weed smoke (“I already feel the energy, I already feel the love, I can already smell the weed,” he was not fucking kidding) to usher in HIC in California (and all the other songs lol) didn’t diminish the energy a bit! Truly, there is nothing like the energy of shared live music, and meeting eyes of other fans (through the trees) and sharing that excitement. And seeing actual physical unmediated Louis, just existing in space being a real live human, yeah. Something.

I was like I'm not gonna bother to take pictures or anything, I just want to dance and hear and look, everyone else's pics will be better anyway but then the TECH, you guys know how much I love the fucking aesthetic of this tour and the screens were SO PRETTY in real life!! So in fact I KEPT getting my phone out for that so like... good one tech crew, you got me. Look for many low quality aesthetic posts of the screens incoming, sorry not sorry. Common People was SO PRETTY, his voice was so clear and lovely and I'm so glad that's been added in. WDBHG went HARD live, holy shit, SO FUN (tho tbh me as Louis thinking I know all the words to that song but it turns out there are a lot? And I do not? At least I was in the best possible company fumbling and mumbling through parts.) Heartbroken I didn’t get Saturdays live (honestly the one song I think might have been my exception to the next thing I’m gonna say) but so thankful for BTM🖤

But part two of this post is to say that watching the livestreams with you all is also brilliant and special and also lets me experience the beauty of Louis’ voice and presence and connection and the feeling of experiencing something together. I wasn’t able to go last year, and I know some of you (many many thousands worldwide!) won’t be able to go this year either or maybe ever, and I know you are seeing the posts telling you there is nothing like being there and you can't really know or appreciate Louis/ Louis’ voice/ the experience unless you are there in person and it feels sad and I want to tell you that I have done the research now and I don’t think that is true. Most people who go to the show won’t have a Y/N moment and be Perceived by Louis or be at barricade, and I don’t think the experience we are having online together is less real or profound than the live experience. His voice sounded fucking gorgeous and soaring and I loved it, but even if you are there it is mediated by all kinds of tech; I imagine getting to be present for an acoustic performance really would be something that couldn’t be replicated but I think a really good live through a clear speaker or a nice quality show video is in fact just fine. Some of the songs did hit me harder in person and get my blood pumping in a different way, yes- but others I actually think I get a fuller experience of in a chiller more focused environment when everything isn’t flying by as quickly. Like I don’t think the megamix would impact the way it does (UGH I LOVE IT SO MUCH) if I just saw it live once and done, for example. Anyway I’m just saying if you can’t make your own (go to the show) store bought is fine (hang with us at stream time! or just whatever online content). While I never intend to watch every stream in fact I am usually right here and love to chat and squee with people, come hang out, or just watch some videos and enjoy the magic.

FITFWT BERKELEY UPDATE

[wild-strawberrie]

the smell of 🍃 was so strong, no way he wasn’t gonna sing it 😅

[lululawrence]

hi hi i was at fitfwt tonight and i'm fairly positive he skipped saturdays because of timing issues, the greek is right behind the university and backs up to a really suburban area so there's a strict 10:30 curfew on the amphitheatre (on weeknights, weekends it's 11:00.) he finished within a couple minutes of 10:30 tonight so i think it was just time. not sure if high in california is usually on the set list or if it replaced saturdays, but he did also spend a lot of time commenting on the weed usage and, later, to take a moment to complain about how cold he was so that also could have booted it off. sorry if this is obvious/standard, just saw your tag on the recap reblog and wanted to share. :) (btw it was a great show i had a great time)

All of that makes total sense! He just had never removed that particular one from the set list before ever since he was performing fitf… like remember his choice to END the set list with Saturdays for those two shows in nyc and London last year? SUCH a choice that does not feel obvious at all so I knew it was a favorite of his even then… it just was not the song I thought he would cut in this instance, but of course if there’s a time restraint then he’s got to cut something and if they weren’t keeping as tight to their usual set time as usual and only learn about that during the break before the encore, there aren’t a lot of options. It does seem the natural choice when the other two are so high energy and the perfect one-two punch of an ending for a show. Still wild!!

Thank you so much for sharing!!

HOW???

Berkeley recap!!

The Greek is one of my favorite venues and you could tell that Louis was trying to take it all in!

It was SO LOUD like seriously so loud. Everyone was signing and screaming soooo much!

The barricade during silver tongues was INSANE because of how we needed to get to the pit he ran pretty much across the entire length of the stage. It was amazing

Seriously one of the best shows I’ve ever been to!

Rainbow Megamix :: Berkeley

The rainbow fun continues tonight in Berkeley at the incredible Greek Theater! We are incredibly excited to see the rainbows flying again thanks to our three volunteers who are bringing flags to hand out tonight! As always, there won’t be enough for everyone, so please bring your own as well to help make sure there’s as many out there as possible!

Along with the flags there will be a rainbow lights project that is being organized on Instagram, more information can be found here and here!

We’re so ready to see how Berkeley will “keep it going” and show us what it’s like to once again be surrounded by (rainbow) lights. We hope you are too! Let’s get ready to dance the Megamix night away!
