Only caught them on this tour at Austin City Limits but thought it was a great show. Highlight: "Mountain Song" w/ Perry Farrell.

Heard a lot of stuff about the Hartford show having the most energy and that VH cover. Just interested in getting everybody's picks for the best show of the tour.

    Noblesville! Tornado watches and bad storms almost cancelled the show but "the Gods of Indiana smiled on us". "Goin' Back To Indiana" cover was excellent. Ed saying how "they fuckin' love the Midwest". Crowd singing "Betterman" while Ed got his voice back. The whole setlist was awesome. Oh yeah, it was girlfriends first American concert and first real concert! Awesome night!!!

    That's gotta be the cream of the crop. Nothing else really fits in that top-tier.

    Kansas City was the best overall show for me out of the three shows I attended...I went to Kc, Stl, and Noblesville..


    The crowd was amazing at KC...Ed even mentioned it at the St.Louis concert that the K.C. crowd was amazing..

    In my opinion, the Euro shows has no business in this discussion, as much as I would have love to be able to see otherwise.
