Tunnel clip recap

Open source

That tunnel clip changed the whole conversation. The low brass hit like a warning shot and the crowd knew it immediately. If you were in the stands, tell me whether Southern or JSU carried the better full-night energy.

Cam Reynolds·Everybody talks scoreboards, but this one lived in the pacing. Southern built tension better. JSU had the cleaner crowd response.

Quick board for everybody ranking show-style bands this week. Who is peaking at the right time? Who still has one more gear to find before the next big date?
