Was Little Wing the full song with Ed on vocals, or just a tag?
Whole song. Some people were walking out when they thought it was YB and stopped to turn around...great show, even played part of the improv that was used before RVM in State College...love the college shows

This was my 19th show and possibly the best one yet. Met some great people before the show. Got the rail during. The setlist was, well, sublime. Caught a few picks. And even had a "moment" with Ed when I tossed him my red, black and white (LB themed) rainbow loom bracelet (made by my son) and he wore it for the final few songs.
I think what put this show over the top for me, apart from the great setlist, was the interaction between the band, and the great group of people around us. My wife and I were 2 deep just in front of Mike. It was our first time being so close. It was truly a fun thing to watch the night unfold.
Sometime during the first set I saw something going on right next to me and saw the crowd part and a guy in a wheelchair move right up to the rail. I don't think I have ever seen ANYTHING like that at a concert, where the "each man for himself" mentality seems to prevail.
After the first break Mike came out and handed the gentleman in the wheelchair a signed CD and something elese (T-shirt?). He would later get a tambourine from Eddie. I hope I am not embarrassing him too much but I swear I looked over at him a few times during the show and saw tears. I was happy to have witnessed it.
Next on the list of fun interactions I witnessed, the guy next to the guy in the wheelchair got Mike's attention and passed him a pick (from his own band). Mike, after the initial confusion at getting a pick back, said thank you, and played a few licks with the pick. Down about 4 people from him, so about 6 people down, was a guy I will refer to as Eddie lookalike. Near the end of the show Eddie came over and swapped hats with him (matching hats).
In the end I think everyone around me ended up with a pick or something else but I don't mind. What a night!
My personal highlight was starting the 2nd Jeff chant and actually have it catch on! After everyone was chanting Jeff's name Eddie came over and handed Jeff the bottle for a swig! What a RUSH!
It truly was an amazing night on Mike's side! Again, thanks to my neighbors in GA and especially the band! You guys made it an awesome night!

On paper, this has to be the best setlist of the tour. For me, at least.
Wow

a few observations from my 45th show and first in my home town.
First time I can remember back to back shows with no EF.
Ed was wasted by the end. not sure how he made it through the show, looks like he has a cold too. he had a pile of tissues by his side.
I liked Eds reference to the Led ZEP arena and Mike tossing out some classic LZ riffs. Ive always joked that the John Paul Jones arena is named after the bass player.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
ride"!

I'll post a longer review later but the show was wonderful. Incredible set list, a very good and energetic crowd, the band were in great spirits, and to have such a rare set list the show was actually pretty tight. A few minor errors by Ed with the exception of forgetting the last half of whipping lol. If Baltimore saw the band in less that joyous harmony, the remedied that last night. They seemed so happy together, Ed sharing his wine bottle around the band. Jeff and Ed in particular seemed very very happy last night. Probably the best show I will get to witness. My fourth and easily the best.
Let's see how NC compares tonight!

2010: Bristow
2012: Atlanta
2013: Charlottesville, Charlotte
2014: Cincinnati
2016: Greenville, Hampton, Raleigh (cancelled), Columbia, Lexington
"Over the Hills" was definitely one; I think a part of "How Many More Times" with Jeff joining in on bass and can't remember if one was "Custard Pie" or "Sick Again"...

In awe of the setlist - this is the best show since Baltimore!!
These guys are awe inspiring. The fact that they pull out 3 hour bombs night after night and play so many unique songs is just one of a kind right now. We are lucky to be part of it all.

Although I was in a haze, he definitely played:
1. Over the Hills
2. Heartbreaker
3. Bring it on home
I don't remember anything from Graffiti.
Mcready was also playing a Sabbath riff towards the end of alive when he was over on Stone's side. This was after his walk through GA.
So last night we got:
Zeppelin, Floyd, the Who, Sabbath and Hendrix. PJ is the 'keepers of the flame' when it comes to classic rock now. And that is no insult. It's the highest compliment in my book.
Incredible show. Great setlist. But I am surprised at the amount of praise the crowd is getting. While I'm sure the 10c sections were great, I thought it was a pretty weak crowd. Especially in 307.

Maybe the upper levels were weak, but I was in 108 and the lower levels and floor were great, amazing energy.
Credit this band for playing many of their better songs that fans want to hear, that we don't get enough of. What an amazing and blistering start.
People love: In My Tree, Breath, Down, Faithfull, Thumbing my Way, and others (Lowlight, Long Road, Leash, Last Exit) way more than they see they are heard live. Hopefully they'll take from this night and play them more while sitting others.
Slot this one along side Columbia, Grand Rapids, and other Shows of the Tour. It was that magical tonight, and so very different from Sunday.
i generally do not pick up bootlegs of shows that i don't attend (with the exception of the 2000 tour, because well... that was a historic tour), but PJ is making it tough to not get a couple this go around with these sets!

I counted EIGHT tour premiers (correct?) 10+ shows into a tour. How is that possible? What other band can pull such a feat?

My favorite part of the fanview threads from this tour is that Sea still points out which songs are from the new album "Lightning Bolt".
Maybe the upper levels were weak, but I was in 108 and the lower levels and floor were great, amazing energy.
fantastic
