I mean, I’m pretty sure someone was already onto her long before you even noticed, velvetotter26 😬 (seriously guys, go hunt down those old archives from Chicago—it's all there somewhere)

Walter Foster52, I actually really want to meet you—mostly just to say thanks for those old photos you sent way back when. If you spot an older woman wandering around in an inappropriate t-shirt that says 'the bitch is back,' that's me. Not that I miss anything—I definitely don't 😬

I’m hoping Fisher managed to make it through those doors.
He really ought to be on a diet. But hey, beer rules. 👍

Robert's been on a serious diet for a while now... I'm really curious to see how much we're actually getting today...

haha, doesn't look all that huge to me... I'll admit he kinda looks like Santa Claus, but that's mostly just the beard...😬

Dammit, today is the day... and I’m stuck out here in Seattle instead of being back home in DC. I can't believe I let it slip my mind. 😢
I’m really hoping someone posts some decent shots of Robert Schlank later. Just please, no one play "Fare Thee Well" or "Suffering Song." 😢

I haven't really noticed any changes from the diet 😬

Such a great little concert. I couldn't see much since we sat way in the back—was that some heroic solo happening right on the knees in front of the stage? 🙏 😍

I’m sticking to my guns: that venue was the wrong call. Even Matt agreed with me.
Nothing about that space felt intimate or personal, which is exactly what used to define the atmosphere at The Roxy.
The Roxy is special—small, private, and you actually feel a connection with the crowd. That’s precisely why so many bands love playing there.
As for the show? It was GREAT. One minute it was chill, the next it was high energy (👍 )
The band gave it everything they had, as per usual. Fisher... well, maybe he dropped five pounds, but he needs to lose another fifteen to really look the part.

Bottom line: if it wasn't for Matt, none of this would have happened, so props to him. 🙏Kudos to him for bringing them in; it was awesome to see them play. My dissatisfaction with the venue is on me. 🤔Maybe I'm overreacting. Honestly, as long as we have Matt booking top-tier talent, I don't care where they play. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Fisher has definitely slimmed down... he was so charming when he checked his ticket and muttered *i hate that picture🙂)) honestly, Dobrica is a legend... you have to hand it to him... he still played Flying Low and made that dancing kid's entire night... haha

Ha, good to see you two on the front page. Hey, jump into this Slack channel so I can ask you something.

@ Karen Doyle2: There will be a photo posted on The Watergate Scandal site in the next few days...

Man, that concert was killer. That one guy dancing was hilarious one second and totally driving me nuts the next, but honestly, they were awesome.
Highlight of the night: Fisher tries to pop open a cold beer and there's a plastic seal under the cap!!! You should've seen their faces—they looked absolutely stunned! So funny!

The only downside: they didn't play Dig a Hole. 😢

They played five tracks from the new album... and they picked the absolute best ones, too.

Killer show. After that first set they played at Madison Square Garden a few years back, this might actually be their best performance in NYC.🙏

Didn't realize Jason Victor was in the lineup, though. Either way, he killed it—just like when he was tearing it up with Steve Wynn. 🙂

Fisher was classic, totally crushed it, and honestly, props to him for not gaining any weight since the last time I saw him.👍

Crowd: A total handful.🙂

Peak moment: Ballad of a Thin Man. 👏

Even though his past shows usually have playlists filled with my absolute favorite tracks, this concert was on a whole different level. Seriously, the sound was incredible—huge shoutout to 👍 for nailing the audio. Those sonic textures were just... man, it felt like Steve Wynn himself decided to show up and just stir up some beautiful chaos. Honestly, I’m so glad I got to experience this slightly more experimental side of Willard. It was pure power.

Plus, the venue was absolutely packed! I was actually a little skeptical at first about whether the seating capacity at a theater like this would match the turnout we'd see here in Washington, D.C., but man, was I wrong. The crowd was way bigger than I anticipated. Once again, just a stellar show. 😈

Solid show, great venue... props to the organizers 👍

Fisher's vocals sounded better than ever...
The only thing was that guitarist seemed a bit too full of himself... especially when he started hammering away at the keys during that quiet part... I honestly thought Fisher was gonna call him out... or just run right over him.
Did anyone else notice how the guitarist and the girl on keys were chatting and laughing through the whole set? Like they weren't even in the band... anyone else catch that?

Gotta pick "Let It Roll" from the encore!!! 🙏
Also "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Mississippi in the Pines"...

...and that "dancing guy"... speechless...
