    yea, im not saying better man at msgII was better than at mansfield but i totally know where you are coming from. i normally do not love the song but the crowd was just screaming along to the lyrics and the energy was amazing. then when eddie tagged the "dont run away run away run away..." part of save it for later and screamed "dont let me down" i nearly lost it. it was AMAZING. i dont know why but that part of the show really was outstanding.

    I definitely agree. I wasn't at Mansfield, but from what it sounds like, MSG2 was at similar. I think we went crazier for that song than any other song that night...when Ed screamed "Don't let me down" I could have died happy - the crowd was going insane and I think Ed knew we how much we were loving it. Betterman was definitely a highlight for me at MSG2. I can't even believe what I would have done if you got an even better one - lucky bastards Boston ;)

    I was at MSG 2 and Mansfield I and believe me...

    It was NOT EVEN CLOSE to similar

    The reaction at Mansfield blew MSG II away....EASILY

    I was there and it was special.....I think Ed turned to the band and said "do they think the song is over?" joking

    Like most of you, when Betterman started I put my head down for second. After so many times, you know what it is. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that... you know what I mean...

    It was an incredible moment when the crowd took over. Incredible.

    Luckily, knowing that some friends of mine would love to be with me, I decided to pick my camera out of my pocket... And here's the result (of course it does not do it justice but it should give you the idea):
