    Absoultely epic. I was only there for night 1, but the set list for night 2 looks amazing as well. Can't wait to get the boots from these two shows.

    Didn't you predict 4 hour shows and all sorts of other crazy nonsense? I was at night one... it was a great show, but hardly career defining. Atlanta 94 was career defining, State College and the Mansfield run in 03 were career defining, the Gorge shows were career defining... This was a damn good 2 night stand in Chicago and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself ;)

    Hey Kreskin, can you give me the winning lotto numbers for this week.

    Career-defining shows?? What does that even mean?

    Very nice that you had a good time.

    I think Boom is going to be upset with you for not thanking him.

    Conor..

    Ya wanna know what my defining moment was???
    After a weekend of sightseeing, baseball games, navy pier, big lunches, big dinners, lots of walking, and 2 kick ass shows....

    My defining moment was getting home last night, taking 2 aspirin, eating some cookies and milk, and realizing I am getting too old for this shit....hehehehehe

    That was MY defining moment.....
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Ha, glad I wasn't the only one hurting when I got home. I was pretty sore after seeing Them Crooked Vultures at the end of Lola, but I'm looking forward to leaving work early and crashing out early tonight.

    You people will crash hard if your dreams don't come true. Just be cautiously hopeful instead of making definite statements.
    Also, the other poster forgot to add Soldier Field 95 and Boston 94 shows to his list.
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED

    let the shows tell the story...the more you hype something, the bigger the let down. This happened to me at the MSG shows in 08'...they didn't come very close to matching the 03' shows...luckily Hartford saved the day!

    Don't do this to yourself Philly!
