Cute moments off the top of my head from the concert:
When dream was done with UIEUD he was trying to clean up his face with the rag but right before the next song he said guys I haven’t cried in a while it’s good to cry or something along those lines
When George was doing in la everyone knew all the lyrics except the “local hoe” one and the crowd got all silent when he sang it and I think he went louder because of that. After George left the stage Dream said he might put it in Spotify!
Dream EEPing in trust issues and then after the songs ends telling us he’s never done it on stage but he catches himself when he’s rehearsing doing random sounds to fill the space and when he would listen back to the recording he would be like what is that and the crew would tell him it’s him😭 In particular he was blowing air through his lips.
After change my clothes he said he was super grateful Alec invited him to Coachella or something when he was still faceless but it didn’t work out because of the visa. Wanted him to be a part of “his music journey”

i need you all to know that after they played helena, gerard lay on the ground for a good 5 minutes and kind of prepared themselves. and somehow we all knew desert song comes after because that's the true ending of revenge. and we all watched them gather themselves to sing.
