Literally just getting back now at 2 AM. They played for 3+hours...First off, I took two casual fans tonight and PJ converted them by "Baba O'Riley". That is an amazing cover with great energy.
The first encore will make the many people go nuts that were not at the show, but it was a tad too long with the acoustic stuff. "HTI" is one of thier best songs but not after 4 other ballads. But the crowd still loved it..
The opening set was blistering and the ENTIRE CROWD was into it. I should know as I sat in sec.104 (crappy seats) and EVERYBODY was rockin'. "ELderly Woman" was more than a welcome surprise as an opener, "Given to Fly" likewise at #2. "WWS","Severed Hand" showed why the new album kicks serious ass. "Sad" is a song I played for my wife earlier today and it made her ball like lil girl... Her Grandmother is ill and it made her feel for her Grandpa..She told me THEY BETTER NOT PLAY THIS SONG TONIGHT...Of course they did...............................................and she LOVED IT anyway! Red Mosquito, a blistering "Even Flow", "Why Go" and "Green Disease" kept everyones energy up.
Ed teased us Message Pitters who had been calling for "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitz" for a month by introducing what became "Daughter" by saying it was the "Wreck"... Anyway, "Daughter" for whatever reason was particularly good tonight.
"Blood" was amazingly loud and Jeff went into '92 spazz mode, "Baba" converted my friends (thought I believe after "Alive the conversion was complete, they enjoyed the entire show including MMJ) and "Yellow Ledbetter" was a sing along that made GR feel funny inside. we loved it, we loved PJ...PJ loved us...Suck on that Hartford!
"Satans Bed" and "Sleight of Hand" were the only real misses from myPOV....Great show, 31 songs...Are you ready to rock Cleveland? Sorry for the incoherence as I am somewhat wasted..

baba BLEW ME AWAY in vancouver 98!!!!! unreal.....my first show, was a big fan still even bigger after that.!!!
well done..cant wwait for my five shows.!!
I think it is obvious he guages this board for Fan-views. How we feel and all. With all the bithcin going here lately I hope eddie realizes that this board literally makes up such a small portion of the show. Everyone tonight had fun and there was no hint at the Van Andel of the negative vibe that has been going on here...
ha haaaaaa! thats some funny shit!!!

Im hoping they do something similar tonight personaly. I would love a 5 or so set of slower songs. It might take a little energy out, but its nice to mix it up, and Im probably more of a fan of the slower and middle tempo songs, not to say I dont love a good Blood or Last Exit.

Also, I liked when they anounced that the Pistons won. Eddie then stated "no. I heard they lost by 3" Everyone in the crowd started heckling him. It was a cool moment. I picked up presale tickets, and the seats were awesome. Thanks ten club and pj for a memorable night.
if you are asking me, no. I was not there. I am on the west coast so waiting for those shows!!!!!
