  1. Half of those "new" songs (the ones I crossed out on my list) were probably being saved for NC.
  2. In my tree wasn't on the written setlist.

    I'm a big fan of Sad as well so that was a treat. But cmon IMT~~> Breath was orgasmic.
  3. I gotta stay of the 10c boards. People are just venomous there. Certain people couldn't get over the NC and let it ruin their night last night. It's a no win situation but holy shit, some fans are just horrible.

    Did any of band go into crowd last night?
    Eddie did a couple of time in GV and Mike did the solo during Alive running through Ga pit right in front of floor seats where you and I sat.
    I've never seen that happen with PJ before.
  5. Ed and Mike went on the barrier a couple of times. Ed pouring wine as well to GA fans.

    Love sad. Speaking of sad, what's with it usually being played at the same concert as down. Just a strange coincidence or something more that I don't know about?

    I don't think so. Both titles are negative...both are solid, upbeat b-sides/outtakes form the early 2000's....that's all I got.
  8. Ive had a day to come down and collect my thoughts. Its impossible to me to rank this show compared to others ive attended. But this one was definitely special.

    House lights up and they kicked right into Why Go WOW!! For me the main set was absolutely FLAWLESS. My only complaint is Sirens. Its a great album track but sucks live. EV cannot get the lyrics right and theres just no good spot for it. Other than that, Main set was insane. All the tags were there also, Modern Girl (amazing), ITS OK!!!! almost brought tears to my eyes and Black had a short We Belong later on. Long Road mid set was a huge surprise, another one that always chokes me up. Habit is so heavy live its almost scary. I could see it literally scaring a casual fan lol.

    After such a flawless main set, here comes the main problem so far this tour. Encore 1.
    Patriot is this tours Imagine. Its an emotional moment but there are countless other acoustic songs id rather see. SBM was ok but EVs mistake during the bridge made it so endearing. The way he handled it was so funny, I recommend watching a video of it online just for the mistake. Come Back, solid performance but another one I could do without. At this point I started to get worried the show was going downhill. Then they pull out Sad. I love this song and was bummed when it was scratched off Brooklyn 2 setlist. Its also in my wifes top songs so I was happy for her. LB is tired to me. Between all the boots ive listened to Im sick of it. Plus there was an incident in the GA that took everyone out of the song. EV motioned to someone and had them thrown out. I think there was a little scuffle. WHO CARES lol. LB had me worried again but then the show elevated to legendary for me. IN MY TREE as an audible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Crap it fucking killed.NEXT UP BREATH!! WHATTTTTTTTTTT?? HOWWW? They played it last night and tonight!!! Wow. I was having an out of body experience. Evolution straight into Porch was just a fantastic way to end an encore that started off pretty limp.

    Small Town gets played a lot and it should. The album version is good but live its my favorite sing along. Another one that puts tears of joy in my eyes during certain lines. Its just fantastic and Ill take it at every show. Inside Job was awesome, an underrated gem from an underrated album IMO. Classic finish after that to cap off an amazing show that almost lost all momentum in encore 1. From In My Tree on the show went to another level.

    Scary thing is , The set coulda been pretty lame after the main set on paper. Again IMT wasnt on the set and Breath/ Got SOme , EV could of made a lame decision and went with GS. I probably would have cried if that happened. All in all, an excellent start for me. Show 1/6 and I couldnt have asked for more. What a great band to be a fan of. So happy. Next week starts my 4 shows in 5 days run and I cant imagine how those shows are going to be. My wife is such a fan now. She cant even understand how they do what they do every night. She loved our U2 shows , hell she came to 6/8 of them and never got bored, but she likes Pearl Jam more now. She says theres something more human about them and the setlists and band/fan energy are just insane.On to Philly next.....
  9. Wow Nick, 4 gigs in 5 days... You're gonna be destroyed lol.
  10. Leaving the VA show, I was thinking the same. The way I felt after this show I couldn't imagine doing it again the next night! Haha! Oh the problems I'm having !!!! Lol.
