Most places tend to have similar-seeming crowds for us, since we've got such a niche fanbase. Some of the nicest dorks on the planet. The kind of people who come to party, but don't actually get drunk.

There are some crowds that stick out in my mind. Germans clap along to songs way ahead of the beat in an unsettling way...The effect is amplified when it's an arena filled with people (we did an opening tour there once...we're not famous in Germany). Terrifying, really. Another night in Baltimore had the only crowd-surfing we've ever had. Gotta hand it to Baltimore. Other than that: Boston crowds are the loudest, NYC crowds are the drunkest, and Idaho crowds are the smallest cuz no one cares about us in Idaho.

HELLO!!!

We do have it all documented - it ended up being mostly Boston and Philly with a bunch of others tossed in there.

Thanks for being part of the AMA!

We practiced all the songs that we put on there... but we did so at the start of the tour. Some of those songs weren't landed on until 6 weeks in and at that point all practice was pointless. I remember when The Sun came up and all of us blanched. Somehow we made it through. It's almost scarier when you have played a song a bunch and so you think you know it (aka me forgetting lyrics CONSTANTLY).

Will give some love to r/jukeboxtheghost now... (this is my first time contributing to reddit)

THE OFFICIAL RESPONSES, FOR PUBLIC RECORD

Jesse - Hollywood and Nobody.

Ben - Hold it in Supreme. Even though I know it's not actually on the album.

Tommy - Black Hole and Undeniable You.

We don't think of any moment as being a 'big break' moment. We have had some important moments though... Playing on Letterman was huge (Donald Trump was the other guest (though that is not why the moment was huge for us)). First big supporting tour, which happened to be with Ben Folds was important as well.
