  1. manager zach is spot on a 1:20, I just went to the jonas brothers concert last week not even knowing there was an opener and now I have all 3 lawrence albums downloaded and on heavy rotation. guess I was a little bit spoiled that my first experience with lawrence was live 🤣 because there is a clear difference. they are masters of the stage!

  2. It goes without saying that Clyde and Gracie are absolute stars but it never ceases to amaze me how talented the rest of the band are as well. It's like save some talent for the rest of us guys.

  3. First off, I love you all. Seriously Lawrence puts on the best live shows ever, but unpopular opinion: I wish ya'll weren't touring with the Jonas Brothers. On the one hand you desreve the massive exposure it brings, but maybe i'm just that old guy on his porch yelling at kids to get off his lawn. I have no interest in the Jonas Brothers and it puts ticket prices out of reach. I just want ya'll all to myself at a mid-size venue like Thalia Hall/Metro/Aragon/The Vic/Concord/House of Blues (Chicago Venues). Thats all, but in the meantime I'll keep burning a hole through your albums. So deliciously good!

  4. I'll never forget when this album came out. Lawrence had a Zoom call with a bunch of fans and walked us through Hotel TV track by track. Being able to see the horn charts, while Clyde talked about vocal arrangements helped me see and appreciate the music that much more. Congrats on opening for the Jonas Brothers, but can we get a Lawrence and Friends tour next? Maybe get some Victor Franco, Brass Tracks, Jak Lizard, Dani Murcia, or Hi-Low Jack? Just an idea…

  5. I knew you were great live from the albums before coming to see you in Amsterdam. The horns playing a lot of melodies that wouldn't be in the live performance otherwise works really well and I wouldn't mind having more of the recorded versions with the horns playig those lines.

    What I only really realised when seeing you live is how good the backing vocals are. They all sound great and are really important to making the songs sound good live.

  6. One of the many things I love about you guys is you are stacked with stellar musicians. With that kind of ability, it's no wonder you slay night after night, record after record. Loving this doc series too! Can't wait for the next installment!

  7. If and when these guys come to Australia, I will be going to EVERY single show. I'm pretty sure I was the first Australian to ever order Lawrence merch, I even have a photo in front of the Sydney Opera House (where I am hoping to see them perform one day).

  8. I admire them not using backing tracks. I mean, bands have been using samples for a very long time, and they are fine when just filling parts you don't have enought musicians onstage for. But today it's way overboard, to the point where if something goes wrong with the backing track, the band can't go on. That's really sad. For Lawrence, if that big red button fails, the show easily can go on…

  9. When the fuck will they come to new orleans? And why are they performing as openers instead of the main ticket? I don't want to drive 8hrs to Austin just to see them open for Jonas Bros.

  10. Is anyone as committed to the "everything you hear is physically played on stage"? I've been battling with this for a while and to hear you say that and have that as a core value is refreshingly validating. Thank you for being rad, Lawrence 🙂
