    KOL, I didn't mean to leave the impression they weren't well recieved, they actually had a pretty good crowd by the end of the set...I was just confused at the beginning (and a bit worried for PJ due to not alot of people), since I THOUGHT we might get a pre-set from Eddie and therfore lots more people should have been in the seats/lawn...anyway I think they were well recieved by those who were there...they are a great band and Caleb commented they hadn't toured since February and they were stoked tonight to get the crowd (meaning everyone who was listening was giving them their due)....

    Everyone was expecting some kind of secret warmup gig before the tour started and were disappointed that there wasn't any. I'm starting to think now that West Palm Beach, in a sense, was the warmup show. Not one of their epically long shows, but certainly an energetic, fiery one. Plus the few songs they hadn't done in a while.

    Lots to say, I just got back to hotel...late...

    KOL, I was worried, no one was there, the lawn had maybe 2 rows deep, and the rest of the seats were 80% empty. But they sounded great, I think this is a sign that not many people know them at all.

    When PJ came on much later, it was packed, I was shocked, the lawn behind was filled wiht people to the back fence, and so many just haning out in the bar/food area, it looked to me like the Gorge. No joke, it was a community......

    Words are cheap, but I will say I was totally impressed with this crowd, 10c was all around me and we sang every lyric, closer to the stage it was the same, we had corporate people in front of us, and they were going wild half way through, ithe lawn was packed and hands in the air, it was infectious. I kept looking back, from what I could see the lawn was crammed and it was rockin'.. I met great people, we bought each other drinks. Ed had fun tonight, he was more jovial than I have seen him before.

    I have no idea how many people were there, but the Budweiser guy told the girl next to me (hi Pam and Max) that it was the most people he had ever seen at that venue. Good sign for the South.

    Ok, good night. But i will say the energy tonight was better than any show I have seen....not saying the best setlist (but it was great) or the best venue (it was good) or the best musically (sound system was okay) but PJ and the crowd were a happy bunch, the band is ready to tour.

    Nice job WPB; you are ambassadors for the rest of us.

    Oceans....very nice

    Edit: KOL, I didn't mean to leave the impression they weren't well recieved, they actually had a pretty good crowd by the end of the set...I was just confused at the beginning (and a bit worried for PJ due to not alot of people), since I THOUGHT we might get a pre-set from Eddie and therfore lots more people should have been in the seats/lawn...anyway I think they were well recieved by those who were there...they are a great band and Caleb commented they hadn't toured since February and they were stoked tonight to get the crowd (meaning everyone who was listening was giving them their due)....

    How were your seats!!!??

    How were your seats!!!??

    Front row, backstage....I am with Eddie now, hold on...he says SC tickets are even better, I get to play the drums cause Matt has a virus :)

    Seats were on the second level up from the first floor level, I guess you could say row 20 stage left (Stone has a mullet) or so... but we had no one in front of us, just a walkway. Had great 10c partners with me...all was good.

    I was there! Alive wasn't butchered really. Eddie just confused some of the lyrics. He sung the second verse in place of the first verse. The music and solo kicked ass.

    The crowd rocked, except for songs like Inside Job and Gone. Those are newer songs, so its understandable. Its not 19fucking92 anymore. Do you mean "sedate" as in theres no mosh pit? I had my hands in the air, I was jumping up and down. How much more wild can some people get?

    Awesome show. 10/10
