Really enjoy the song. Love the Worcester night 2 version that I was at. If I am nitpicking on my live shows that I have been to this song has been played very early in the set at every MA trip I have gone to since 2013. It has come to be expected now every time I go to a show there!
Low Light and Alright are an interesting pair of songs. The first about choosing a relationship over solitude, while in the second it’s the opposite - it’s ok to say no, to be a disappointment in your own home. In the first it’s pretty clear it’s a romantic relationship, in the second, not as clear. I really enjoy Jeff’s lyrics - both songs are favourites for me.

It might be my favorite song. Love the melody, piano, words that have been modified, Seen it a handful of times but Wrigley 2016 2nd or 3rd song was amazing.
“I don’t need the light i will find my way, what’s wrong what’s real your Dream I see”

My favorite song for years (now Inside Job). I still love it. Remember losing my mind when they played it at the Garden in 2003. At that point it had only been played in the single digits.
To think the song came out in 98 and wasn’t played until 2001, missing the entire 72 date 2000 tour. It was once considered a white whale. Top 10 song for me

It was the opener for night 1! Was an awesome choice.

Amazing right? I thought they would never play it. Maybe having Boom on keys helped push them over to giving it justice. Love Mike’s solo near the end too!
I do like Low Light but they played it a lot in 2016 and 2018. I'm ready to hear Parting Ways, Hard to Imagine, Thumbing my Way, Of the Girl when they can tour again.

A nod to the Cardinals in the song. Game vs the Dodgers on the arena screens just before the band came on.
“I don’t need the light
i will find my way, what’s wrong what’s real
your Dream I see”
2016 at Wrigley did sound amazing!
