Tl;dr I love ghost they're all amazing and I'm happy
Long version under the cut
Probably the tallest crowd I've seen at a recent ghost concert
The way the light shines through the tears in the black curtain during peacefield is amazing no matter how many times you see it and of course peacefield is amazing too 10/10
Already multiple skin flashes during peacefield, thank you for the Fanservice
Dew is very mobile now! And someone painted bones imitating his skeleton on his boot, very cute. He's already a sassy diva again
Papa looked very pleased with himself during spirit again
Was overall VERY very smiley today! Many smiles and grins. At one time he saw someone on dews side of the stage hold up some sign and cracked up (sadly I couldn't see the sign)
Rain keeps headbanging so hard that his head peace flaps around and gets stuck sometimes
Papa had a weird lock of hair sticking out at the back of his head
We got the meliora special(tm) again tonight with pinnacle and majesty (would've loved to hear faith again tbh)
Phantom has the zoomies, this guy has so much energy, it's incredible. Sometimes he's just sprinting all over the stage and the person operating his spotlight STRUGGLES.
He and dew are absolute chaos twins, bless them. They had tons of moments together. But also phantom and the ghoulettes!! During one song he was with them, after cirrus keytar solo they chased each other over the stage and during the slightly awkward break after majesty he was at cirrus Plattform and they chatted or something
Papa in the silk shirt kills me everytime, I'm too weak for this. This shirt was an evil choice.
He did the times are shitty talk but somehow some people seemed to not to thing that times are shitty lmao and he was like, very sassy, it's okay to think that the world isn't shit right now before leading into tfiafl
Made multiple unnecessarily horny noises (moan, ah's) in this song and others help
I love seeing the variations of papas crisis during the Latin bit(ft. Priestbias on the screen) and the guitar solo (cowering on the stairs dramatically) in satanized
At the end he lifted his arms and we saw the hair again, without the Berlin incident I wouldn't have looked closely enough but.... Hmhmmhmm yes.
Satanized is a total audience fave
I can't wait to see when he decides to add the wings for cirice because he keeps doing the vampire arms bit when coming on stage, but still no wings
Fingered the mic stand again, though. And dew.
When he ciriced the person he got so close to the mounted camera that we got like a SUPER closeup shot until the point where you basically only saw the white eye before the video crew cut away to another camera angle of it haha
Generally some really cool new camera angles for example from unterneath the drums when papa faces the drums and such!!! Really big props to the video screen crew they're doing an AMAZING job
Papa slapped, I think it was rain, butt when leaving the stage
Rain was super done with dew and turned his guitar off for their ritual bit while phantom was being phantom on the other side
Umbra had ALL the smoke cannon action, very cool with the purple light and all, and the song SLAPS so hard. I love how papa loses his brain function while coming up from below the stage with the cowbell raised above his head and just... Wakes up, staring at it confusedly before quickly dropping it into the new ghoulettes (who has the collective braincell in that moment) waiting hands
I need to say how great the ghoulettes are with their little wings, I love them. And I like how they have some more bits, moving in the stage etc
I love year zero so much!!!
Dew stood so close to one of the pyro thingies that I thought he'd headbang right into the flame at some point. little fire gremlin
Papa was kinda defeated in the year zero bit with the disobedient ghouls, didn't even fight their standoffish ways, just walked around rain and dew but the got extra diva with phantom. In general he's either just accepting them being uncooperative OR goes full sassy diva and there's nothing inbetween
Papas mic was very silent for a lot of the show but ON during he is (and then rather silent again???) also the jesus rocket at the end of he is always ends me
Was the church backdrop always broken on dews side? Like the bow of the first smaller window bit on that side is broken (interrupted at the top) and they also turned the screen off at that part to simulate a missing window. Very cool detail!
Taint tickling for mummy dust!!
Some very nice mummy thrusting thank you very much
Rolled a mummy dust bill up like a cigarette or joint and then slowly with A LOT OF tongue licked the whole thing and threw it (very badly, it barely reached barrier) into the crowd. I died a little bit. Slut.
His monstrance clock speech was super funny, first of all he was like "don't fucking whimper now" (can't remember the exact words, but whimpering was in there), then said something in Swedish (i didn't understand obviously but swedes kn twitter said it was: "i'm the one to be the one") "as they say in Swedish....... WHICH I DONT.", he said he was just told to say that 😂😂 (and asked if someone's from sweden here, some people at the front cheered) bless him. Then people screamed so long thst they couldn't start monstrance clock and he said we are wasting time now before shushing us
I love monstrance clock part 38844. Also at the end of it the person responsible for the video screen forgot to shut it off, so the porn font lyrics kept rolling and rolling despite the song having ended
His little encore speech about being predictable and all was very cute and fun again, he smiled a lot and spoke I a horrible English accent that they're having one last good song up their sleeve. Also called it his daddy's song
Something was different about the keyboard sound for moac I think? Doesn't matter, it was amazing as always
No wobble for Dance Macabre and also no confetti - not sure it the cannons malfunctioned or if it was intentional
This is the time I'm addressing the boner allegations, bc twitter keeps talking about how he's "constantly bricked up" and idk. I'm not a boner expert, but as someone who knows clothes from experience and drawing and also the fact that the ridiculous cardinal pants existed for 2 years without a single incident... My scientific guess is that due to the, already very tailored to the crotch, pants slipping down, esp at the front due to the heavy belt buckle, it creates a sort of pouch and the ghunk just collects in there, yk. During dance macabre he jumped up and down a few times and it sorted the whole situation, which wouldn't have happened with a ghoner. Not that it matters but twitter talks about it so much lol
Phantom got Ryan's attention who was standing underneath him and handed him a pick to deliver it to someone in the crowd which I thought was very cute of them
Papa told dew to "get his ass over here" for squammer and at the end didn't do the high note again but the "right here right.... Now we're done"
Ghoulettes made paper planes out of setlist again, we are so close to the return of origami ghoulettes of the prequelle era.
Dew has a cane for the bows!! Very distinguished fire gremlin!
Despite standing 8 rows from the barrier I had a very sweet moment with Papa thst will keep me alive for the rest of the year thanks
Dew yeeted picks at 984848kmh all the way over to the seats
Lots of kisses from papa for the crowd but also his ghouls
I love them all so much and I'm very sad that this was my last ritual for the year but I'm also super happy and grateful thst I could see them 4 times, I don't take this for granted at all.
I still can't believe I saw Ghost live yesterday. If I didn't have photos of it and a lot of merch I would have chalked it up a dream. Well at any point it's at least a dream that came true.
And similarly to a dream I already FORGOR so much!
