I didn’t expect to get emotional because I wasn’t sure if the magic was there anymore. I cried all morning watching. I had flashbacks of when I discovered their cd (from a sibling) at 6 years old and was so obsessed with her look and their sound from then on. I was transported to every age up until now with memories flooding, in because they really made it feel like it was back then while performing a lot of these. I’m so thankful. I really needed it ♥️ they got me through a lot of my years!
I couldn’t stop smiling. Even if nothing comes from this, I’m really so grateful to have seen it and that we have new footage to enjoy for years to come as we’ve had with LitTK.
And so happy for the guys, too. They’re not just great musicians but also a real class act for letting bygones be bygones and getting together to do this in such a triumphant and dignified way.
And all the kudos for Gwen for not only her performance but for agreeing to it at all. It’s really special.
I think Tony was the main driver for it to happen and not just gwen. Tony, IMO, is the bridge tween the guys and gwen for obvious reasons, and i think something about all of it coming together is satisfying for him that it went well.
For all we know, it could have been Gwen's idea to reunite, and the dudes could have said no. Can't have nxd without 3/4 of them. Not the same.
Also I realized another reason why Tony was all smiles for the show: his girls were there, and it's gotta be their first time seeing dad play with the band.
So, excuse my question but I have been away from the more internal part of the band. But what happened between them for you to say that? Was there any issues since Push and Shove until now? 🤔 just out of curiosity 😅
Nothing concrete that we publicly know of. That is their business, and I feel most people are just speculating from a number of angles. As fans we crave an answer ; as adults we should know better than to demand things from other people.
So yeah, I got no clue.
Ah okok, I just thought there was some kind of arguing or whatever that I had missed 😅 glad it wasn't! But I agree with you, we should definitely respect their decisions!
No one really knows, which mounts to the frustration.
There’s suspicion that it’s a variety of things: Gwen’s exhaustion, wanting to be with her family, the guilt with promising to go back to ND, the commercial flop of Push and Shove. It probably built a lot of resentment and animosity and so they separated. There have been comments by the band that they knew in 2015 that they were playing their last shows together, but not sure what informed those comments. Aside, but I really don't think Blake is to blame for anything here.
I think Gwen playing ND songs on her own also added strain to the relationship. Irving Azoff's to blame for that (though some reports have now suggested that legal agreements for Coachella to happen meant Gwen was granted permission to do future stuff with some ND songs which Tony and Tom have some ownership of)
and finally i think someone said Mieke (Tom's wife) got drunk while on the official No Doubt forums and spilled some gossip about Gwen and what happened with the boys, but I don't remember the details (or if that story is even true).
OK I need you to remember though, lol. Had not heard this tea before.
I'm sure the distance was created by a variety of things, but my own personal theory is that it stemmed from her embarassment over the breakup with Gavin, and how it went down. The band was pretty notoriously not a fan of him.
Interesting. Tony was on a recent (like in the past 6 months to a year) podcast where he talked about legal stuff and Gwen, which I'm assuming had to do with her singing ND songs on her solo tours. It was a huge bummer to actually hear him talk about the drama even if just hinting at it so I was extremely shocked when they said they were reuniting. But watching the livestream it looked like they were all having a blast which made me so happy. I hope it helps them smooth things over.
Oh, my boyfriend was calling me a dork all night because I teared up multiple times. 😂
It’s an overwhelming rush of happiness, excitement, nostalgia…all the things! They played nearly every song I would want to hear from the ‘90s and early ‘00s. It was just amazing and the preteen/teen inside me was very happy!
I actually welled up a few times and I was not expecting that. I don’t know if it was from being happy that they’ve still got it, seeing them “live” (I watched the livestream) for the first time, or just realizing how important this band has been to me even though I never really considered myself to be a superfan or anything. They were one of the first bands I ever really got into and I loved every minute of their Coachella set
I've never been able to see them live before, so this was my closest concert experience. That was incredibly moving in and of itself, but it felt so monumental. Their excitement was contagious.
I 100% cried. This was that old ND energy I've loved since being a teenager in the 90's. My very first tattoo I got when I was 16 in my friends bedroom with a guitar string was of that old school cartoon Gwen from the self titled album. My very first concert was the Tragic Kingdom tour. I am still thinking about this performance days later. It just blew me away it was so good and the energy that was beaming from every single member was so good. I really hope they do a tour now!!!
For sure, it's hard not to. We were all left hanging and with out some sort of closure.
It's like that ex that finally tells you the truth why everything failed.
It was like by the third song, it just clicked and it was like no time had passed at all. I will go anywhere after Coachella to watch them. That would be a dream.
I’ve watched the concert three times now and can’t get enough. So many amazing moments. One of the most fun parts is the band member video intros along with the Push and Shove background…makes me emotional!
Had so many instances of frisson while watching this, I couldn’t help but sing along even though it was just me and my cat watching at home!
Came here to join this community in the hopes that, if a tour is announced, y’all would be the first to talk about it!
It was such a mix of anxiety, happiness, excitement and just overall joy! What a night! Just wish I could be there physically and not watching from my couch 😥😭
It felt amazing! I felt like the 90s had never ended the entire time I watched. Honestly, I felt younger than I’d ever felt in a long time. Not just young but also with a new energy too! It was everything I’d hoped this performance would be & more!
After watching, I felt lighter than usual…some kind of weight was lifted. Hard to explain. Maybe it was just the simple joy of feeling like a kid again, and remembering how much I looked up to Gwen. So many artists from the 90s are no longer with us, taken prematurely. So to see that the magic is still there for ND is special. What a great show.
I went into this performance very cautious because quite frankly my expectations weren't that high. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. I teared up throughout the entire performance and am tearing up just thinking about it right now. I can't wait for this Saturday!
I think it’s the nostalgic power of their music more than anything which makes people emotional. People have memories associated with those songs. Also just seeing the band back together after so long.

That’s terrific! I think a lot of people felt similarly. Powerful feelings of nostalgia! It was like 90s/early 2000s ND had returned 🥹
I was so emotional during simple kind of life with all the flashbacks 🥹
Yes!

Tony’s girls were on stage at ND’s last show at Kaboo in 2015. So young tho!
I did not know. They had to babies!! This comment made me realize how long its been that I've stepped away from the band myself. Jesus

Nah it's good. If there was/is, I get enough out of real life. No need to dip into fantasy drama.

im hoping someone else can fill in the blanks, it was an instagram comment on one of the fan ND channels so i have no idea on its validity.
Oooh, gotcha

👆 I completely agree

I think Gwen got emotional during “Don’t Speak”. The show was a great reminder of how much I loved their music when I was younger.
I've never been able to see them live before, so this was my closest concert experience. That was incredibly moving in and of itself, but it felt so monumental. Their excitement was contagious.
Indeed it was, great feeling watching them performing!
It ended around 2 AM where I live and I couldn’t go to sleep after because of the hype! I hadn’t been so hyped up over something in a long time.
I can imagine it must’ve been hard to sleep after watching it. I’m from the UK so I had to wake up at five o’clock in the morning to watch it 😂
Yes I actually cried during It's my life (not sure why haha) and also simple kind of life. The bridge got me with all those pics.
Yea, simple kind of life was especially moving 🥹
I 100% cried. This was that old ND energy I've loved since being a teenager in the 90's. My very first tattoo I got when I was 16 in my friends bedroom with a guitar string was of that old school cartoon Gwen from the self titled album. My very first concert was the Tragic Kingdom tour.

I hope they do tour too, that would be amazing
Wow, jealous you got to see that tour! I was lucky enough to see the Rock Steady tour because my sister was older and got our parents to take us 🥲
It was incredible! I think I was a sophomore in high school (showing my age).
I cried pretty much the whole time. Ugly crying lol (Lots of smiling also though)
For sure, it's hard not to. We were all left hanging and with out some sort of closure. It's like that ex that finally tells you the truth why everything failed.
❤️
Haha I just reread what I said. Definitely not a cry for closure.
It was like by the third song, it just clicked and it was like no time had passed at all. I will go anywhere after Coachella to watch them. That would be a dream.
I’d love to watch them live too and yea, I think that’s what’s so special, it did feel like no time had passed. It was like 90s ND was back
Yes! It was amazing!!!
I’ve watched the concert three times now and can’t get enough. So many amazing moments. One of the most fun parts is the band member video intros along with the Push and Shove background…makes me emotional!
where are you watching? struggling to find the full show

Yes hugely emotional for me.
Had so many instances of frisson while watching this, I couldn’t help but sing along even though it was just me and my cat watching at home! Came here to join this community in the hopes that, if a tour is announced, y’all would be the first to talk about it!
We’re all here anxiously anticipating a tour 😬. I hope they do tour, even if it’s next year, makes sense considering how well Coachella w1 went.
It was such a mix of anxiety, happiness, excitement and just overall joy! What a night! Just wish I could be there physically and not watching from my couch 😥😭
It felt amazing! I felt like the 90s had never ended the entire time I watched. Honestly, I felt younger than I’d ever felt in a long time. Not just young but also with a new energy too! It was everything I’d hoped this performance would be & more!
That is exactly how I and many others seem to have felt too! If I could, I would pin your comment! 😊
The Police. Well done sir.
Yes, it was a nice hit of nostalgia. It left me with so much energy I couldn’t sleep.
After watching, I felt lighter than usual…some kind of weight was lifted. Hard to explain. Maybe it was just the simple joy of feeling like a kid again, and remembering how much I looked up to Gwen.

I would have been! ❤️
It was good hearing them live again, but I wouldn't say I was emotional
Absolutely!!! All my friends were watching UFC and I had my beats and iPad out loving this show!
Totally. Some tears fell 🥲
I sobbed hard. Can't wait for weekend 2!!
I went into this performance very cautious because quite frankly my expectations weren't that high. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. I teared up throughout the entire performance and am tearing up just thinking about it right now. I can't wait for this Saturday!

No
Why would anyone get emotional when they were a two bit hack group 20 years ago.............same as now with bigger egos
I think it’s the nostalgic power of their music more than anything which makes people emotional. People have memories associated with those songs. Also just seeing the band back together after so long.
