*** St Louis Fanviews Here 10/3/14 ***

A few random thoughts, in no particular order:

* In the opening post of the thread, it says "Brett Hall." It should be "Hull"

* I'd agree that the sound was pretty muddy in the first part of the show. But then again, it's a sports arena, and the sound is always going to suck to a certain extent. It either cleared up part way through or my ears got fried enough.

* A PJ crowd as a whole is quite impressive when it comes to sing-alongs. Why did there have to be terrible singers so close to the people who took the videos posted earlier? :(

* Imagine and Chloe/Crown both gave me chills to hear.

* The recognition that Ed gave to people like ItsJen's sister, to xbuster314's friend, and to Sarah for her 100th show was great. It goes above and beyond what's expected of a band.

* The videography was almost like watching a fully edited concert video. Nicely done.

* When Ed came out to the crowd, I couldn't help but contrast to the '90's crowd-surfing and rig-climbing days. Now he's standing on a barrier with someone holding on to his belt.

* I'm wondering if any pros got shots of Ed late in the show when he shook the sweat from his head. The sweat in the air was like a dog shaking off after a bath, and had the potential to be a dramatic pic.

When the recordings surface I think people will be blown away by how beautiful Imagine was. The Portugal performance is great but this I think was better.

Agreed

How many of you actually went to the show? This isn't fucking AET or A Moving Train. Take the discourse out of here and let the people who went to the show in St.Louis geek out a bit eh? C'mon!

That kid Aaron was behind me in the merch line. I didn't speak to him, I just remember seeing him and a)feeling bad that someone so young had to wait on a merch line like that and b)being jealous of his blanket. That's a great story about the song.

I agree that the sound was awful for the first couple songs but it did miraculously get better, which was nice.

I was in a good section, somehow seated next to NYers who were originally from the neighborhoods surrounding mine. No problems with anyone in my section at all. I didn't have the best seats but I was happy not to be on the floor behind the pit. The 10c section crowd is honestly just a lot better than the TM section crowd IMHO.

Love CD/COT very very very special to hear live. I hadn't listened to the Portugal recording of Imagine (just never got around to it) so for Ed to decide to do it live was very cool. Footsteps, RVM, Pilate were all highlights for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed St Louis, a LOT more than I expected to. The people I interacted with were super awesome. The hotel shuttle driver tried to refuse to take a $2 tip from me because in the course of conversation I told him I wasn't currently working. Even the guys hustling at the tram stop were super polite and chatty.

Someone mentioned the video being projected on the screens...I said the same thing during the show, very nicely done. I hope they are somehow keeping that video....would be awesome to see someday. Of course they haven't released any in the past so I think we're screwed but damn I don't know why they wouldn't keep that stuff.

Agreed! I had to keep forcing myself to watch the band on stage instead of the screens!!!

The black and white live feed looked especially good. Looked like something that had been put together and edited in a production studio.

Does this mean you've officially ended the discussion and no one else is permitted to opine? Because usually I'm looking for a..'nuf said' as the generally accepted way to declare yourself the winner.

Pretty sure you have to rest your case to avoid further discussion.

I decided to order the 21 shirt anyway, so thank you for the website!

For years now I had been begging to see "Pilate", and finally got my wish! Drove over 6 hours and it was well worth it....great set list and energy...Ed was in a fun mood....and, again, PILATE! Crown of Thorns and Low Light were a few other pleasant surprises.

Came all the way down from Ontario Canada and thought St. Louis was great and the people great to. Now we didn't venture to far from downtown, but overall experience of the city was cool. You have some pretty cool looking buildings downtown
