I assume you mean 95:1 odds-on (as in you need to bet $95 in order to win $1). 95:1 odds (bet $1 to win $95) would make it a very very long shot.

Yes, "95:1 odds-on". I learned it as "favorable : unfavorable" in school and it stuck even though it's clearly not how people actually use odds. So would 1:95 have been the correct way to write it, or is that still improper?

I'm not sure if LDF ought to permit actual gambling :mrgreen: , but I can start taking gentleman's (or lady's) bets. You all have nothing to lose but your honor and reputations :twisted:

If you're using the Metro in DC be aware that it closes at 12 AM. If the concert ends at 10 PM that allows less than 2 hours for the signing session.

Why would a 7 pm concert end at 10? Typically their concerts, inclusive of intermission, are about 2 hours. The signing line in DC in 2014 did take a longer time than other concerts I've attended because the place was packed - they were filming the "Libera in America" DVD then. But I highly doubt we'll have that sort of attendance this time.

The boys take a short break after the concert to change and then, unless the place is totally packed, the signing will likely be over by about 10:30 or so in my estimation; maybe earlier.

Just to be clear I made my DC metro train in 2014 without any issues and so this time will be even more smooth in terms of transit because I anticipate fewer attendees.

In UK horse racing terms it would be expressed as 1/95 or 95/1-on but that is a whole other topic🙂

34 boys on this tour that’s got to be pretty much the entire touring group. I am positive they will all have a fantastic trip and the fans who are going to watch them are incredibly lucky.

Good find! Hopefully this motives more people to see them. And those higher notes by Nathan, wow.

Nice! Makes me wonder if they'll do a mass in San Francisco as well.

Not sure if this one will be streamed though, can only find Sunday services on their YouTube channel not Saturdays.

Wow! Keep us posted on anything else you find. Two services is a lot but it'll be good practice for them. :D

Wow, glad I checked the forum - gonna try to make it to both of these this weekend. Long time forum member here, but I mostly lurk, looks like I haven't posted in a short, uh, 9 years or so. :shock:

St. Malachy's is a fairly intimate space and is quite nice acoustically! It's much better to sit in the middle aisles there than on the sides in my opinion though, the sound is much more balanced. I've never been to St. Ignatius Loyola, so no insight there unfortunately.

Very excited to be seeing Libera stateside again! I'm a Manhattan local, so if anyone has any city specific questions and/or transit concerns leading up to the concert at Riverside Church, feel free to reach out.

Looks like it’s going to be a fantastic tour for all the boys involved :mrgreen:


I hope O Beata gets to be performed live as for me it’s definitely one of the stand out tracks on the album.


Everybody who is getting to see them in the next weeks have a wonderful time and I look forward to all the reviews :D
