Dark Matter in Theaters

OfThePearl · April 16

Mine has 63 people so far. Says there will be trailers prior.
It is a Dolby theater, but I didn't see any mention of Atmos.
Checked several other theaters, none said Atmos.

Pretty empty at start time in Crawley too - looked liked 20ish tickets sold

Had 3 false starts here already - heard Jeff’s intro and then a few bars of the intro before it stopped 3 times. Projector being CTL ALT DEL now….

Screening cancelled here after 7 aborted stars, apparently due to a server error from a corrupted file received - Hope no other cinemas are impacted!
Rather frustrating as had avoided all the pre-listens, even at Sundays Record Store party, to have the first listen with the band’s curated experience.
Will now have to wait until Friday’s immersive London experience!

lastexitlondon · April 16

Yeah there were trailers here 20 mins of

marumaruko · April 16

Here it started exactly 5mins after, so no room to be late really.
Sound was only okay however, think it will be better listening from my sound system via the bluray

Jadler · April 16

Looks like it will be pushing 90 or so tonight in Foxboro, MA. Psyched!!

Ten minutes to go! Nice turnout in Hamburg, it’s being shown in two cinemas here

We're were you, cinemax or Mundsburg? What did you think of the sound?

BrainofBGA · April 16

I’ll just add that I think we got 20mins (at least) of movie previews and commercials before it started but it seems different depending on where you saw it.

CarryTheZero · April 16

Canceled my ticket, but I may be back on tonight! We shall see.

Going to AMC, so probably 15 minutes of previews, plus Nicole’s Movie Prayer. 😜

I’m not surprised at £19.50 a ticket - I thought about it for two minutes and decided it wasn’t worth driving all that way.

Tim Simmons · April 16

totally forgot about this. I have to dig up my ticket.

A good 25+ at Leicester Sq, London. Sounds great in Dolby Atmos.

Great album!!! Stronger than Gigaton and lightning bolt...which I thought was underrated. Getting vibes from Avocado and bits pre and post. Few songs I felt lost way a bit. Started strong..but the key changes maybe a bit too complex, but that was like 2 songs. Mike is shredding on this album and very old school. Can't remember the names of all the songs but super strong opener and closer.

That's just the blueprint...now I can't wait for them to perfect these live!

Can't wait for the show!

About 85 sold in Burbank so far. Big theater, probably 250 seats.

eeriepadave · April 16

Missing it tonight

Would have gone to the one in King of Prussia. PA though

RiotZact · April 16

I’m going to Cherry Hill, NJ and it looks like there’s 120 seats sold so far. About 3/4 capacity by the looks of it.

Sound wasn't great for me the first time either - I was worried until Dark Matter came on, and I knew then it was muffled and missing elements of the song.

It sounded better the second time around, but still not as good as it will at home I reckon.

As for the music, right now I'm saying most consistently hair-raising effort since the 90s, and several songs are better than anything they've done since tracks on Avacado.

That's right now... on two listens.

Very Excited- This is as close as we get to seeing Pearl Jam here in Houston Tx / we are going to Wrigley this year!!!

vito · April 17

Chicago.. half way thru first set and it's pretty damn good👍 Waiting For Stevie just starting 🤞Ok WOW🔥

Corrupted file at my showing in Austin. Bummer. Got to hear 4.5 songs.

Alpharetta, GA was a bust too. Not sure if it was theater staff incompetence or bad media like you’re saying, but the sound quality was BAD, like worse than a cheap Bluetooth radio. We left after 5 songs because it felt disrespectful to have that be our first exposure to these songs. What a bummer but I’m glad the record is out in a few days!!

thomascbullock · April 17

A few beers in, headed to the theatre in Seattle. Let’s go.

Gern Blansten · April 17

Loved it... Great album. React respond the standout for me.

React, Respond has that PJ quirkiness to it. Great track…and it got some ovation in the theater.

aschuldiner · April 17

Just got back from the Regal in Orlando. Small theater, maybe 10-15% full. Love the album. Feels like my fave in a while, but still digesting. Very cool experience - lots of cheering among the (sparse) crowd. Sorry to the folks who got hosed w/ the technical difficulties.

shawnb199 · April 17

The experience in Woburn, MA wasn’t perfect (it started almost 30 minutes late, the sound wasn’t great, there was a super obnoxious woman), but the album is awesome.

I’m not somebody who dislikes the recent stuff (I love both Avocado and Gigaton), but I think this is their best album in 25 years. The run from Wreckage to Waiting for Stevie is phenomenal, and I was singing the chorus to Setting Sun over and over the whole way home.

Gern Blansten · April 17

These songs are going to be quite different live... Good stuff

CC68885 · April 17

Camillus, NY (Syracuse) Movie Tavern- About 50 people in attendance. started great and after song 5, a pause, then the lights went on. Technical difficulties!!! After about 10 minutes a worker came out and said that they would have to start the whole show over from the start. From there it was flawless, so we got to hear songs 1-5 3x!! I like the album. Loved Mike shredding throughout. I’ll give it an 8/10.

Falling Down · April 17

Packed theater in Montreal! Old folks like me, plus some youngsters.

They got it fixed after a couple of false starts, thankfully. Album is really good and will be better live.

drakeheuer14 · April 17

Attended an Atlanta showing, very small turnout compared to sold seats. Had a great time! Tons of shining moments. Loving Upper Hand and Setting Sun out of the songs I hadn’t heard going into it.

There was one song where the lyrics didnt display for half the song, that seemed to be the only “flaw.” Visuals were a little silly - would have preferred band photos or space visuals or nature, but it got the job done. My only complaint record wise is the continued use of the echo effect on Eds vocals.

Can’t wait to hear live versions!!

Wreckage. Wow
