    Some folks are under the impression that everyone has tickets to all 4 shows.

    If they do Just Breathe and The End to start the first encore all 4 nights ... please, try to relax, remember that some folks aren't going to all 4 shows ... and go grab a beer if it annoys you so much.

    Did they use the string quartet in the studio when they recorded Just Breathe & The End?

    Don't mind either way.

    Loved the strings on Just Breathe.

    But preferred the debut version of The End that Ed played solo at the Tower in June to the one with the strings, but that's just me.

    Eddie can sing the songs without music for all i care.. As long as he's singing them.
    :shock:
    Seen PJ 21 times live from 1994-2019

    The problem with the strings is that if you get them, you get them for EVERY show in your city. So not only are you guaranteed to get the same 2 songs to start the first encore each night, but neither of them is really a song that needs to be heard at every show.

    As others as said, it is pretty cool to hear the songs the way they were meant to be played, so to hear them once with the strings is a must.

    My vote for Philly is no strings, but then again, I'm spoiled and have already seen them multiple times with the strings...
