Too bad no Los Angeles date this tour. But I bought tickets to San Diego before it sold out:)

I posted a few thoughts on another thread, then got the idea to expand that into a fuller review at my film diary (letterboxd) just to record the memory of it. To sum it up...
shark made a few comments that struck me, as I was driving home, I too thought, "I laughed more tonight than I did the whole of season 12." And while the actress seems very personable and cool in those videos they post from time to time online, Synthia was pretty grating. However most of the skits were cute, I had some good laughs with Crow's safety song bit, and how they acknowledged the puppeteers at times ("I'm doing it, and without anybody's help!" celebrates Crow during one skit, while he's receiving obvious help. Big laughs from the audience with that)
NRNS was the movie and that was a gas, very funny. (I'm a Bruce Lee nut, so that stuff was golden!)
The venue was large, but not massive, they didn't offer tickets to the balcony, but the main floor was mostly full. The audience was really into the show, so there was a good energy all around.
I stayed in my seat during intermission and watched a couple of the cast play around with cleaning up the stage while interacting with the crowd that was still there.
Production values? As I mentioned elsewhere, I liked that it was smaller in scale, more the cow town puppet show of old.
I didn't get hung up on the ambiguous ending, they'll either return, or they won't (and they had fun with that... being confused by the continuity)
My only real complaint is why were none of these live shows (past and present) recorded so we could relive them again and again?

I know a fan has made audio recordings and plans to merge it with the films after the tour is over.

My guest for tomorrow night’s MST3K Live show in Minneapolis fell through. Anyone want to go with me? It’s a balcony seat, the ticket price is $35.

Well, there are three shows left in the tour, and two of them are back in NJ. Since it looks like the weather will cooperate, I couldn't resist and am going to the Red Bank show on Friday and the Montclair show in Saturday.
The tour finale is, I believe, in Washington state, and that's a bit far for me to travel.

In hindsight, you have to admire Joel's sense of timing. The tour finished up just before the country essentially went into lockdown.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I didn't want to start a new one for what might be a simple question: is there any way to watch the live shows anywhere online, or is it completely a live experience, no recordings made for later use? I thought there might be fan cams on youtube but I'm not seeing any. I wanted to see a full Emily "episode," basically.

Someone else can chime in, but I'm fairly certain the answer is no. I don't think I've even heard of any fan vids (tapes from the audience) out there.

I haven’t seen the first tour anywhere, but tour 2 and Circus of Horrors are available online.

There are YouTube videos for The Brain and Deathstalker II. Unfortunately both times the person got caught by a theater usher and had the turn the camera off. What a bummer.

I didn't know those were out there, I just found the Brain, and while the video is rough, that was very, very funny... I love live comedy, wish Joel would have recorded these shows.
