Last night AFI struck the East Coast once more in Atlanta, GA. They played many hits, both newer and older including a special surprise. Much like Ohio’s House of Blues got the debut of two new songs (meaning, never played live before), Georgia got the similar treatment with a Decemberunderground song, “37mm”. Sing the Sorrow remains the dominant album being played, with Decemberunderground not far behind; allow me to explain:
Strength Through Wounding (Black Sails in the Sunset)
This Celluloid Dream (Sing the Sorrow)
So Beneath You (Blood Album)
Girl’s Not Grey (Sing the Sorrow)
Anxious (Burials)
37mm (Decemberunderground)
Wester (Art of Drowning)
Killing Lights (Decemberunderground)
6 to 8 (Art of Drowning)
Love Like Winter (Decemberunderground)
Snow Cats (Blood Album)
Days of the Phoenix (Art of Drowning)
I Hope You Suffer (Burials)
Silver and Cold (Sing the Sorrow)
Miss Murder (Decemberunderground)
The Leaving Song 1 (Sing the Sorrow)
Paper Airplanes (Sing the Sorrow)

In addition to the fun facts, YouTube user mrshamoozoo recorded several of AFI’s songs including 37mm in great quality. Check them out below. I even put them in order of how they were played. Enjoy!
There was no way I could have gone to this show, but I’m happy for those who were there! An organic version of 37mm followed up by Wester would have blown my mind.
I just watched the 37MM vid in the records room in a library in Philly (the librarians already hate me because I’m forcing them to keep it open until 8 tonight) and just cried a bit; that song means so much to me. Now my research partner thinks I’m insane, and the librarian wants to shoot me, but it’s all good. So glad people got to experience that live. It looks like it was nothing short of transcendent. Damn. What a beautiful song.
All I’ll say is that I’m going to do my best to keep updating. I also feel bad that I was away from the online scene for so long… call it my “some kind of redemption”.
It’s also what my upcoming project surrounds. It’s the thing I teased about before… I think I’m going to call it, “I Am AFI”.
Thank you though. I just wish more people already knew about this forum. We have been getting new people to sign up to help keep things active.
You’ve been my biggest supporter yet and I appreciate everything you’ve been doing, so Thank You.
If you’d be interested, I could make you a staff member. I’m still learning this forum software myself, but it would allow moderation controls, etc. Not that there’s anything to moderate yet anyway. I’ve recently made a DREAMCAR category, which I;m sure you’ve noticed. So it’s also little things like that to keep the discussion as organized as possible.
Fun fact- This venue had fast pass that no one knew about, on top of the VIP for Circa…THEN it rained on us 15 minutes before doors, and the venue had their air conditioning on full blast. While being rained on, the venue staff just looked at us. So we went in there and froze. I didn’t warm up until we went outside to wait on the band. I’m honestly surprised I didn’t get super sick…Because I get sick with the wind blowing so there’s that.
Most the time, HQ will have someone send it to them. For the Nashville set list, I’m pretty sure that’s actually Caleb’s set list(looks like his hands tbh), but the little bit of battery we all had left was to be able to contact each other if we got separated.
HQ also keeps an eye on social media I’m sure. I really don’t know how they do it, but I do know they’re connected with most fans. If not through the official HQ site, I know the members are personally friends with some people. Including both Caleb and myself. =]
Yea, I can understand that. I’ve been lucky to become friends with two of them, and I absolutely love them. We had a LOT of fun during Burials tour at the KY show. =] They’re pretty cool people if you actually get to know them.
