01 / Overview

One take, nowhere to hide. It landed in summer 2025, the same season the band’s arena-level No Hard Feelings tour was being built.



02 / Work

A second, separate show built in parallel with the tour. New arrangements, new parts and new instrumentation for a five-song set. No tracks, no playback.



03 / Review
