They blew the roof off of DC! Incredible 8th row dead center tickets, incredible show. Funny to hear Chris joke about the 'cushy seats' all night, it was a seated venue. But for me that didn't take away from the show for a second!! They played for around 2 hrs and 15 minutes and I couldn't believe my eyes the entire time. As a 20 year old, never thought I'd ever get to see SG and it was really special to be there, especially with one of my best friends. Highlights for me were Slaves & Bulldozers to close, 4th of July, Outshined, and Taree. Best part though: made our way to the stage after and I was able to score a setlist and my friend was able to score one of Chris' picks! We then waited outside to see if we could possibly meet any of the guys and we lucked out! Met Matt, got an amazing picture, and got an autograph. So cool to be able to thank him for the music, and he was such a nice guy! Kim also came out and signed, but didn't take pictures (he told us all he had the flu). Ben left earlier in a car and waved to us all, and Chris left even earlier after the show, probably while we were still inside. All in all, an amazing night!

Did people remain seated or stand?

Sounds awesome, can't wait until tomorrow, I'm 4th row center. Well done on everything!

Floor was up, mezzanine was a mix of standing and sitting. Chris called out a guy for sitting at one point, saying "even your dad next to you is standing!" I have no idea how people could sit at that, my friend and I were having a blast rocking out!

Very cool

Glad you had fun.

Digging the mix of old / new..
Hoping they keep "gun" in the mix for Boston (not played in Mansfield last tour but who can complain with so many great songs) and Fresh Tendrils sounds tantalizing!
Hoping Limo Wreck is attempted too ...
But I love the new CD so it's all good..
Who could ever imagine getting to see the mighty SG in the tiny but infamous Boston Orpheum theater?!!
I'm pumped even though the Patriots will be hammering it out with the Ravens about show time..

For Toronto, the Sound Academy is entirely General Admission, so I don't know how someone can sit during their set.

well that's what setlist.fm called it, i think Chris said they made it up on the spot though (prettys ure it wasn't a new song :? . Dusty and Fresh Tendrils were apparently played in NYC a few days earlier luckily philly got it as well, sorry DC. Loud Love was also played.

The Tower show was great! Especially loved all the new songs. Chris sounded awesome. I saw Audioslave in '05 and he didn't sound nearly as good as he did tonight. Great, great show...as expected.

The show was great, the band had some good energy on stage. I saw them in 1994 and had no clue that it would be 19 years between shows!

DC and Philly folks, what time does it say on your tickets? Looks like the band went on around 8:20 or so each night? Curious because at the NYC Terminal 5 show they also went on at 8:20, but tickets were very clear that doors opened at 7:00, show starts at 8:00.

For the NYC Hammerstein shows, it only says 8:00, not sure if that's doors or start time.

Thanks!!

My Tower ticket said the show started at 8. They came on about 8:25 or so.
