Show started w/ Eddie saying something along the lines of "We got a lot of emotion to get through tonight".

With the opener of "Long Road" and "Man of the Hour" and Jeff's speech about a friend who has seen them for 20 years straight but couldn't see them tonight, and having us sing "Happy Bday" I wonder if there was a death of a friend.

Maybe since they pretty well blew their load tonight, we'll get an unheard one tomorrow.

An amazing set. I dunno what Evenflow and Alive have been like, but there were some fanfuckingtastic guitar solos

Lotsa songs to mark off the heard list. 12 new ones on my 7th show, not bad.

the poster tonight was done by Jeff, and I heard the basketball player in the poster was designed to be his friend, Mike, who had recently passed away. I'm not sure how true it is, but it makes sense with some of the song choices - especially Come Back after Happy Birthday.

Holy shit that was awesome!!! Tons of energy from the band and the crowd. Cant wait for tomorrow night!

Wow, looks like a great set!


Wish I could have been there! :(

Just got home. Combined with my 10Club seats being top row nose bleeds, my back was actually against the wall and the fact that PJ's catalogue is HUGE and these were the songs played I was actually disappointed. I was expecting more for Chicago.

Oh well.

Cool set list with lots of unexpected twists (Jacksons/Supersonic). First time seeing Reign O'er me live and it's even better than on the '45. I loved the new stuff live. What's up for tomorrow night?

The first thing I'd say is that Chicago always gets very nice, solid shows. We almost never get the crazy rare stuff, but always get a nice long show.

Tonight was no different - we got 27 songs and although to be honest they only went about 5 minutes over curfew (I can't remember leaving the UC before 11:15 before - today was like 11:05), it was an amazing show.

Long Road, God's Dice, Sad, In Hiding, Reign Over Me, Real Me, Smile... that's a bunch of very nice stuff inside that setlist.

And I know that tomorrow is going to have a much different feel - really hoping they bust out some crazy stuff for us.

Great show - tons of energy and they sounded really tight although Ed had a number of lyric fumbles. But to be honest that adds to the fun for me anyway.

On to tomorrow......

What?!?!

What is your 10c #?


I have a shitty # and I have always been on the floor at the UC.

I think someone may have pulled a fast one on ya'! :shock:

Bought a seat behind the stage this afternoon at 1:30 PM on TM. Couldnt have been happier with the show. Im going tomorrow with my 10c tix, but this night was absolutely awesome. Set was great, crowd was fun, and I loved my seat. The sound quality was a little off because im on the side of the stage, but good view of crowd and band. Cant wait for tomorrow night!

I just got back, and I can't wait for tomorrow's show! While my 10c seats were horrible (section 318, with my back against the wall in the last row), the sound was fantastic. I couldn't believe when I heard the opening note to Long Road- I've waited SO long to hear that song live. Their energy was incredible. Love Reign O'er Me, In Hiding, Come Back, Smile... what a great setlist. One of the best ones I've heard. See you all tomorrow night! Hopefully more 10c members will have good seats. I heard people talking about having seats in section 115 who got them from Ticketmaster at 10:55am this a.m. Hopefully those bastards get the bad seats tomorrow and 10c members get better ones than today. Either way, if tonight's show was any indication, tomorrow will be phenomenal.


Edit- forgot to add... Ed mentioned that they wanted to play ALPINE instead of UC!!!

Oh well.

You had ten club seats and they were nose bleed? Even if you have only been in the club since 2007 you should have still been on the floor. I think you did something wrong.

I was also in nosebleed, and me and everyone around me were all 10c members.

Yeah. This is just flat-out bad info. I've been a member since 2003ish and I was in the 100 level. Go check touringfans.net. I think you needed to have a number in the low 200s for Floor seats. I'm not complaining though. My seats were great and the set list was everything I could hope for.

Trully amazing! 10c 300 level. Doesnt matter. Sad, Smile, Rats, In Hiding. Wow. Yes. Tomorrow.
