To be more specific, he said tonight's crowd already had more energy than the bankers and accountants who must have come last night.
Point for me. Olivavu - you owe me a drink. But I will say, tonight's crowd was awesome. One of the two or three best I've experienced.
Ask me again in a week, but at the moment I think that the opening set was the best in the 24 shows that I've attended. The encores lost some momentum. Seeing Hitchhiker played for the first time ever was obviously unbelievable, and like all diehards I enjoyed Sonic Reducer, but they both sort of dampened the overall crowd enthusiasm.
RVM and Alive, not surprisingly, blew the roof off of the building.

Go, Animal and HAIL HAIL (yes! No Code!!!) was a great opening....really nailed them and set up a gig with great energy and verve.
Hitchhiker was brilliant.......Mike just kept looking to his left at the others to see what they were doing! Stone was laughing his ass off with Matt...it was brilliant to see them play this for the first time here.
Present Tense was probably second on my wishlist for these two nights after Release, so the fact that they played it tonight just blew me away.
Sonic Reducer was the biz.
I think tonight was slightly better than Wednesday. It's a close run thing really.....both nights they played a wonderful selection and some great surprises thrown in....maybe tonight's energy levels were just that bit higher.....and I was closer to the stage on Mike and Jeff's side and really reveled in Mike's extraordinary playing.
So....2 nights back to back of PJ done. I'm so happy. Won't see them again on this Euro tour, but they have left me with more than enough memories and treats from these gigs.......

The set started with three upbeat songs and the crowd went wild.
Once it slowed down with numbers like Wishlist etc, it was the same as last night. At least where I was standing - about twenty from the front, in line with Mike.
Was a better setlist tonight and the band also played a bit better too.
The two shows were excellent for me and it was like two parts of one complete experience.
Hitchhiker was a rarity, but I wasn't majorly fussed to hear it. It was more entertaining to see them laughing together as they couldn't remember when to switch from verse to chorus towards the end.
Deep was a real treat. Not heard that live before.
Still not had Breath though!! Desperate for that.
Another awesome night though.

Arguments over crowd are null and void though.
"Crowd" to an audience member = The 20 or so people in their immediate vicinity
"Crowd" to the band = The entire audience as a single entity
What makes a great crowd for the two are completely different. It's big picture vs little picture.
Not to mention, the crowd for one audience member can be totally different to the crowd for another, depending on where they're standing.

Just noticed the comment re two parts of a double CD. Would agree with that completely.
Took a friend who has never seen them before and she was blown away.
Also, shout out to the Argentinian, the dude from Colorado and the Canadian that I discussed Jacques Rougeau with. hope you make it safely round Europe!
Another funny thing was at the end of Alive Mike took off his guitar and was just holding it out (for his tech to take) without looking and then must have suddenly realised when no-one was taking it from him that he didn't change for Sonic Reducer and had to rush to put it back on as the intro started!
They just seemed so much happier than in 09 didn't they. Possibly the temp as it was a lot cooler tonight. 09 was like being in a hot oven with a killer in-built sound system.
thanks dude
great way to get a crowd dead...
the thing with rare songs is they really don't know how to play them so it usually sounds very average
they should try learning an old song they want to finally play live
I thought the middle Jam was awesome.
Present tense and off he goes....man alive!
Who is wrong and who’s right
Sorry, I respectfully disagree with this completely. It's a live show. It's not supposed to be perfect
this computer in the beach house has low volume ...i will listen again when i get back home in a few days
i guess the fact that im not crazy about the song in general might have something to do w/ it
ok sorry back to the fanviews
yeah the bridge is where it's at in that song, but I agree neily, crowd was not reacting to it, and that is tenclub folk no?
