    I voted for Night 1. Even though Night 2 was terrific in terms of performance and covers Night 1 had a very nice vibe and an impecable setlist.

    I voted for 1. I had rail for night 2 and it was majestic and personally I would rank it as my top show perhaps....

    But in a vacuum, night 1 was a better show

    1 was electric
    2 was or should have had less repeats from 1. Surrender and Driven to Tears were awesome.

    Night 1 had the greatest first set I've ever witnessed.

    I had seats up near the ceiling/roof in Night 1 (section 211, row 18), and 10club reserved in night 2. The crowd was a lot more in to it in night 2 from my perspective. I suspect that wasn't really the case, but was more a case of people in the 200 level just don't get in to it like people in 10 club seats do. There were a lot of people sitting down in the 200 level on Night 1. I didn't see anyone sitting down in night 2 down by my 10 club reserved seats.

    Both were sick and had a blast at both shows. Just like Night 1 better, maybe the tech issues during Night 2 kind of turned me off.

    Both were great for different reasons. I'm calling a tie. I can't believe the repeats thing keeps coming up. Other than PJ20 and Mansfield, they do a pretty good job realizing that MOST of the people in the building each night are seeing then only once.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I totally agree, I couldn't catch my breath. I will never see anything like that again.

    I escaped it...a life wasted...I'm never going back again

    While I love seeing shows with my dad (night 2), Night 1 I had better company :smile:
    Night 1 I was in the balony (318, row 1) which turned out to be a better seat than 416 row 5. Couldn't see the screen while standing, couldn't see the whole venue, felt very claustrophobic in 416.
    I thought the night 2 crowd was louder. This might have been because of our seats.
    I wouldn't change anything about the night 1 set at all.
    Night 2, encore 1 could not have been more perfect.
    I was very happy to see both shows, but Night 1 slightly beats night 2

    Night 2 would have been better if Sting would have sang Hunger Strike with the band....

    Wow! Good call! That would've been terrific.

    I liked the 1nd night the best.

    Toss up. Both good. Different setlist on night 2 (compared to night 1) would've made night 2 epic. But alas, ...

    Night 2

    Was GA for the first time, was with my best friend and we had an amazing time. Night 1 had the better setlist, that main set was just fucking wow

    after the first night I said it would be very difficult to top

    until the first encore break on night 2, I was still leaning towards night 1, but then the 2nd set had songs that i've totally been jamming hard to lately

    all or none - crowd was kind of talking and Ed messed up for a second but it still was such an incredible song, and after deep/jeremy/leash/dotheevolution it was such a surprise and welcome change of pace

    pendulum - thought there was little chance to hear this one but I had hoped that I would! deep lyrics deep bass line really thought provoking song

    present tense - can't tell you how much this song has meant to me this year and I've really enjoyed the jams at the end. blew me away to hear it

    breath - song just down right rocks and it's another I doubted I would hear but really wanted to

    state of love and trust - what can I say much like present tense this song has been a part of my life this year. the guys around me all connected on this one. epic

    porch - after this one i was exhausted

    sorry for the long post, this part of the set meant so much to me! I'm still on a high off it. thanks PJ !

    I can only speak for night 2 as did not see night 1. Night 1 had a better set list but maybe night 2 had a tighter performance and slightly louder crowd???? I sat next to a guy on my flight back to Vegas who was GA for both and that was his take.

    Night 1 for me.
    Night 2 has some cool guests and a Breath/SOLAT combo which was just fantastic - but I thought Night 1 was stronger beginning to end overall.
    Either way - 2 great shows!
