Sleeper show of the Tour?

evolvedmammal

Newerk

shadowcast

I didn't attend any other show besides Indy but I have been to 25 shows and that crowd was "Porch" away from being like the Evenflow video. Also, solid set with Release as an opener and Rats sprinkeled in.

Dark Energy

as long as between songs they show approval and applaud that is all that is required in my book.

if people need the surrounding audience to be spastic for a show to be good.?? maybe they should join a support group or something. i think the band can appreciate that . i don't think they will perform less inspite of it.
they are infact professionals that get paid a lot to perform. pearl jam doesn't choke unlike our own lebron [/

I certainly don't need the crowd around me to be "spastic", in fact I started my message by saying the show was great. BUT, I do know from experience that the band can feed off of a really intense crowd and up their game a little. State College '03 is a great example. One of the reasons that show was so great, is that the band really fed off the wild crowd. Ithink the reason they played so long was that the crowd went nuts during the encores.

And I agree LeBron is a complete choker.

St. Louis was amazing. But I only went to Boston and St. Louis. Boston isn't a sleeper show though.

i can see what you are saying! especially in have prolonged encore's
i just can't see rating a performance of the band based on the crowd. !
this past cleveland show ( i think) was the best performance i have seen from these guys in cleveland,
regardless of audience. they just brought it.

i know i go nuts at each show , that's all im concerned with
bruised is an understatement from this show. the guy behind me kept slamming my shoulder i recently had surgery on, right on the suture line. i was like yeee owwwww each time a new song started lol
it was great though he and i were going ballistic

listening to columbus, right now............SLEEPER!!!!! :thumbup:

I was wide awake in Columbus and I am now listening to the boot.

I went to four shows, Columbus, Indy, and MSGs. Out of them I enjoyed Indy the least, but still had fan. I was sick Indy and sleep deprived from post Columbus parting and the long lines, terrible traffic, and awful parking lot didn't help too much. I hope they choose to play at the Conseco Field House if they play indy again.

Hartford was great!!

listen ski4 or whoever wrote that crap about standing with your arms crossed is "OK".......

I certainly didn't say "spastic"....."enthusiastic" would be a better choice of words
when you fly your way across countries and even continents to be there...shouldn't you be?
The band DOES feed off the crowd's energy and it should be an EVEN exchange
I'm sorry, I guess you are one of THOSE people...too bad :(
life's too short to be a stiff at a pj show

MSG 1 is the sleeper
we all knew MSG 2 and boston would be stellar, but so is MSG 1

MSG 1 cant be the sleeper pick IMO. MSG shows are hyped up more than any other shows except possibly the Gorge shows and last year's Philly shows. I actually thought MSG 1 would be better.

I would take MSG and Boston out of the running for sleeper personally but others mentioned it on here and I was impressed with just how great it was when I was there and thinking that MSG 2 would be a let down...
I am an idiot

I'm glad the Newark show is finally getting some love. That might be my favorite of all the shows I've been to. The setlist was awesome, the building is beautiful (my first time there...I'm not really a hockey fan), and I'm not really concerned with the crowd not being overly animated. People in the fanviews complained about the sound, I was a few rows in front of the soundboard and I thought it sounded great.

+1 I thought the sound was great in Newark.
