    Cant believe the naysayers. . Ive seen lots of PJ, and I think last night was the best since Philly 3 2009.

    Agreed

    Reading some of these comments, I'm glad I don't come around here often or am around fellow members who nitpick. I had a stubhub seat and was next to some dude and his gf and they were so into the show and very cool. You people who complain should be grateful this band is still around and still has all original members and still are good. Look at how much of a joke Van Halen or Aerosmith or Kiss are? You wanna talk predictably go see them. So what if the encore 2 is predictable, enjoy or just don't go. You people sound like the douche on my train ride who said it was average and wasn't as good as Hartford 2012 and he also complained they were too political.
    Good post. Believe it or not, there are people there who like to hear the more well-known songs with the other stuff they play.
    Yup and that's why the band does that, show after show. If people don't wanna hear the hits cause they've heard them enough times, go take a piss break or go get merch.

    That was awesome. PJ at the garden definitely lived up to the hype. Can't wait to do it again tonight.

    Cheers to that

    There is a very good chance that encore 2 will include alive, black RITFW, indifference and yellow ledbetter. Tonight and every night. I am guessing maybe baba tonight.
    That's cool with me. If anyone has GA and wants to just chill, I'll be in the back having some brews enjoying the band

    Great show last night. Some of you people need to stop dissecting every little thing, it's sad. A cash grab? Seriously? Get a clue.

    haha - so true...

    first time GA Rail... Mike side, (had been seated Stone side before, luckily)
    i was thinking "after Philly they will take it easy tonight"...
    Go, Corduroy, early and they NEVER let up

    what was amazing is - i stopped drinking liquids early, and i felt incredibly dehydrated after about 45mins...
    the guys in my section were like "come on!!! yaaah" - totally pumped up
    so much energy!

    in Philly (Sec 103 - Mike's side, maybe 40yrds out) i was the loudest guy during Sonic Reducer - no such thing here- everyone was incredibly pumped and very energetic

    as per the whiners - i've learned something very interesting lately - while waiting in line, guys around me were (in order) ... Alabama, Minnesota, Netherlands, Chicago, Colorado

    everyone has different experiences and different timelines

    loving a band that has changed so much and been daring enough to take so many risks over their lifetime, means you will get young people who love Binaural or Avocado and won't understand why the old fogies go nuts over Footsteps...
    and there are people on their 95th show who will go more nuts over Bugs, than the girlfriend of the guy who just bought tickets off stubhub and is thrilled they are playing Betterman (the only song she knows)

    luckily with 10C, we rarely have to sit with the latter, but when we do, we should be cognizant of the fact that we're not with our people...

    i honestly would put this show in my Top 3 (and tonight would make it my 30th since 1995)
    and if i had to pick, Small Town, Lightning Bolt, Rockin would be on the bottom of my list for encores... personally
    and yet - the energy was insanely hard

    to someone else's point earlier - about band getting older - so yeah, they are, if you're still looking for your lead singer to climb 40-foot rafters, might i suggest looking elsewhere... but then you probably won't get gems like Just Breathe and Future Days either...

    lastly - i don't think the band is oblivious to the fact that they've completely omitted Avocado, tonight is the 10th anniversary of the release... just saying

    Chloe/Crown always insane
    I got Id!!!
    Felt like the floor would collapse during Whipping

    Mike had so much energy, and better yet, i have NEVER seen him better. The solo during Black was INSANE!....

    I may be officially Team McCready after this show.

    Show #15, 5th time at MSG. Ten Club seats in Section 115. First time on Mike's side. Here he is running up the aisle during Alive. If you know the girl with the huge smile on her face from Section 16, tell her I have a couple more shots.

    To the guy in the UW shirt who was rocking out in section 105- thanks for bringing up the energy in several sections. You looked like you were having a great time and even the security guards were getting hyped. However, ROMAR SUCKS!

    I don't need rarities to enjoy a show.
    I don't give a rats ass what the people in my section are doing during the show. If they want to sit? I could care less. If they want to jump and act like fools? I could care less. As long as they are not vomiting on me(And yes I will share an MSG vomiting story with everyone, maybe tomorrow).

    That show last night at MSG was FUCKING TREMENDOUS!
    PERIOD!
    I sang, I danced, I laughed, I giggled, I shed a tear.
    I shared this show with a dear friend. We had the fucking times of our lives.

    EPIC!
    EPIC I SAY!

    I don't need rarities to enjoy a show.
    I don't give a rats ass what the people in my section are doing during the show. If they want to sit? I could care less. If they want to jump and act like fools? I could care less. As long as they are not vomiting on me(And yes I will share an MSG vomiting story with everyone, maybe tomorrow).

    That show last night at MSG was FUCKING TREMENDOUS!
    PERIOD!
    I sang, I danced, I laughed, I giggled, I shed a tear.
    I shared this show with a dear friend. We had the fucking times of our lives.

    EPIC!
    EPIC I SAY!

    Great attitude.
    Sorry.

    EPIC ATTITUDE
