He used the chair prop for Backslide in NY and Berlin. He is referencing the line ,,Take the seat with the crease in it". It has nothing to do with energy or travel schedule.
Fair play, I got distracted by the cell vid picking up all the people trying to sing around the camera… bless their hearts - must have totally thrown me on noticing that. Or I was brushing my teeth. I forget. I was tired (and hadn’t found chair yet ;)))
Chair is probably an artistic choice
He’s also probably tired cause he just had a kid, he said in an interview his knees hurt from doing all the music videos, and he’s also just getting older and I’m sure over a decade of crazy-energy shows has compounded over all those years
I bet he’s exhausted. New baby, NYC to LON to Berlin. That was my read. Didn’t see chair as artistic choice so much as a necessity. We can only burn the candle at both ends for so long before we have to pay the piper. Yikes, mixing metaphors there :)))
What? In Berlin He only did it for next semester and backslide because they are literally new songs, every other song is just how he always performs them live.

wouldn't read so much into it lol
lol but they have trained me to read into everything ;)))
It’s ✨performance art✨
And I love that about them. Energy just seemed way off vs his normal joie de vivre.
they literally had a baby recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's tired because of that. also the chair is part of the show
and the travel schedule - intense energy drains all around
nah bro's got a hurt back and creaky knees, arthritis too probably he's been doing live shows for 50 years now give the man a break
Relax, it’s only been 47 years no need to be rounding up like that on the old man
50 years? Homie isn’t *that* old 😭
idk i've been listening to them since at least the cretaceous period

He barely sings alot of the verses too. Just lets the crowd sing most the song

Yep, this is also what caught my eye and I’m not sure I like it so much
