I was just listening to "Betterman" in the car, LOUD, while running errands. I swear, I got chills listening to it. What great memories!

That is all. I just had to share this with someone, and this seemed like the best place to do it. :oops:

    Maybe the best moment in the 20+ shows I've been to.

    Will never forget the look on Ed's face. He was overwhelmed.

    It was like thunder... i can't imagine if that had happened inside. It would have been deafening. The boot doesn't do it justice.

    That's what gets me.

    It's like being on an airplane that's having issues, if the flight attendants aren't worried, that's it's really noting big. But when they freak out, you know it's something bad (and believe me, that was not a good feeling).

    The band has done so many shows, but when they get looks of amazement on their faces at something, you know you're witnessing something special.

    Loved that moment.

    Watching Ed step up to the mic, then back off again... up to the mic, back off again... Every time he got close the pounding got louder.

    yeah, the look was incredible, he was so overwhelmed by it and kept looking at Matt as if asking, can you believe this

    it was the best moment as well

    The cheering itself was ridiculously loud. When people started banging on the chairs, it got crazy.

    As others said, one of the top 3 moments I've ever experienced at a PJ show.

    We had an awesome time, did not want the night to end. My boys wondered if the band would come back out if we started pounding on the chairs again. :D

    Won't let the light escape from me.
