    Klinghoffer playing Jack's tribal-y drums on In My Tree set my mind whirling. I'm a Jack guy 100%. Point blank. And that song rules but, like some other classics on those late 90 records never sounds exactly like they should live to me. That just hammered home my belief that Matt simply cannot do what Jack does/did.

    In My Tree sounded unbelievable! So close to the studio! (I'm not one of those "the live song should sound like the studio version" people, but for In My Tree that probably is the goal.)

    JP you really didn't snag a ticket and just show up at 8:30? Crazy.

    Oh believe me I was thinking of it. I got done painting and the kids to bed by 8. There was a 124 row 4 just sitting there staring me in the face.

    I don't know why I didn't scour the Philly Facebook page earlier because there was people offering up basically for free. That's on me.

    But with that said, and I certainly don't want to yuck anyone's yum because I hate when people do that to me, I have to say I didn't have that much fomo. Not saying I don't like that setlist but, eh, I'm surprisingly ok today lol

    Night 1 was better, for me, but I love the way some of the new tunes rock.  Stevie, Sacred of Fear, and Dark Matter all are better than most anything they could play live from their last 3 records, imo.

    Yeah, I've been thinking about this a good bit because of these shows. I feel like all the albums since basically after Avocado have really screwed with the flow of shows to some extent.

    Gonna be really hard to hit 100 wins, but glad to see the Fightins using some depth and eeking out .600 ball. I need them to play competitive game until the Washington series, need to get that bye.

    That sounds awesome but September/October has now turned into the most expensive time of the year apparently. Both kids' birthday parties, then every other kid in South Philly is having a birthday party. It is endless. Tempting tho!

    Edit: forgot about the fucking baseball team that I will be spending a mint on as well.

    Thank you. I get slammed for that opinion. Last four just HAVE NOT BEEN THAT GOOD. DM is probably the best of the bunch, but still.

    Some dope in the Missoula thread opined DM “might be their best.” STFU.

    Night 2 did have a choppy flow. Not sure it has much to do with the last 4 albums. DOTC was odd to the flow, but I want to see weird stuff. They barely play anything from Backspacer or LB - basically Just Breathe and MYM. If they threw in Quick Escape or Who Ever Said those songs would rock along with the cherished 90s songs. And yeah, Dark Matter is really fucking great, not their best album ever but it holds up. You STFU! (lol)

    I'd say Gigaton and DM are the better of the last 4, and DM is their best of them. There is just something about these songs that changed the sound for the worse at a show. Always feel like a piss break song or just completely kills the momentum and mood of a show. But I get it, they're not going on some of these tours if it's not to tour the new albums. But I'd say Binaural & Riot Act are their most challenging, eclectic albums, but even those bring a great vibe to a show.

    I dunno, I know this is just old men yelling at clouds about other old men playing music, but it's wild & bizarre to me how many people that have become fans like post-2010 and are mainly fans because of these newer albums. They just mostly feel like studio-only albums and just don't play that great live. And then on top of it they're competing for real estate in an even-more limited setlist space that pushes better stuff out.

    I think the DM songs sounded great live. And 8 months later or whatever, I still feel as if that album would have held its own if it were released 20+ years ago. It's damn good. 

    Dance was weird...but I actually enjoyed the fact that most of the arena, outside of tenclubbers, didn't really know it. Made it seem weirder to me. One of the highlights of the show, strangely, imo. 

    More than half the crowd is there for the hits though and probably don't know much of DM or the last few records so that's likely a big factor to those songs feeling a little off I guess.
