During the screening’s Q&A session at the Downtown Independent Theater in Los Angeles, Ian and Rustin called the Santiago crowd ‘f—ing amazing.” Ian continued saying the audience members were so loud chanting and singing along that at times he couldn’t even hear his guitar as he was playing. Ian called the show “completely overwhelming” said that at one moment he became so emotional that he actually shed tears during the evening.
The crowd is very intense throughout the entire film and at one moment two fans actually light road flares in the crown during ‘Indians.’ Ian said that one “would assume that there’s a law about lighting flares in a sold out venue, but they don’t care.” During the show, the fans create one of the biggest circle pits that Ian has ever seen, comparing it to “one of the those traffic roundabouts in European cities where everything moves real slow.”
