Why the Lightning Bolt tour 13'-14' was one of the all time best

Agreed, such a fantastic tour. The bands spirits were high, terrific setlists, great crowds, unique moments. Also the new songs translate well live and really added to the show instead of take away (maaaybe minus if you've been to a ton of shows and have had Pendulum open most )

Of the 11 shows I've been able to see on the '13 & '14 Lightning Bolt tours,
Pendulum has been the opening song at 8 of them!!!
It is a GREAT opener... but I really hope they give this one a rest for a while now!!!

1998 tour is tops but '13/'14 is in the top 5.

i saw 6 shows on the LB tours... Pitt, Buff, Milan, Trieste, Vienna, and Cincy...damn i feel lucky! I wont forget the guy from Texas I met in Trieste...his first show was '93 and he said he lost count on how many shows but hands down, now is the best time to see them! The catalogue alone. I cant speak to the '98 tour, I was a 6th grader lol...but as amazing as I am sure it was, the list of songs I love that didn't exist yet is pretty extensive!

Was having a conversation on the porch the morning after the Denver show... my buddy Sony who's a huge Iron Maiden fan told me he'd seen 15 Iron Maiden shows. He continued sayin' that we were lucky (he's including himself... really loves PJ too) cause there's a lot of PJ left... not like Maiden... he also made a comment on how Maiden refined themselves over the years and that PJ will continue to get better every tour... He goes "Imagine yourself in 15 years at your 20th+ show craving for more McCready solos..."...
Ahhhh... he gave me hope... he gave me spirit....

Thank you Pearl Jam for what you have given us so far... and lets rock 'till we are old mans!!!!!

What do you guys think about crowdsourcing a show near us all and parting there? Just a thought

Family atmosphere referring mostly to the legions of fans following the band. My comment on babies was meant to be more snarky than it came across! I have a 18 month old daughter. Obv a rock show is the last place I'd take her.

Was that you I saw at Tulsa in the LOT with your lil' girl in a baby pouch, selling veggie burritos, ganja goo balls and Fat Tires? >-

J/K of course. Congrats on parenthood AND the good times had on tour this year

We got Wrigley, 3 hour shows, some rarely played tunes (think Let me Sleep), Yield and No Code played in it's entirety, Euro tours, sticker wars. Man it's been a fun two years!

Don't forget the elitist lists! )

You two are the Laurel and Hardy of the message pit!

:-bd

Ya, this guys my partner in crime no doubt!

No doubt... partners in crime
or at least some people think we push the limits a little 'round here.
speaking of shows.... whatever happened to the Forrest Hills dude? :-/

He got his thread locked. I'm sure he's out there still doin' work though.

Actually I think I may have gotten it locked.. Oops. But his stupid answers that a two year could have given, started to piss me off! And as this new group if posters is learning, I'm a real fuck when angry.. So sorry igotcookies... But you never should have said that stupid shut about not being able to discuss the details with the people who were paying for your dream. Cause I know for a fact that was a lie. Still sorry for killing the entertainment. ( warning well received, on that thread and the one in AMT). Good thing this stuff isn't done in person!! lol no wonder I have no IRL friends! )

None the less... Back to topic. This was an amazing tour for me. Wrigley was amazing! Got to meet so many off you, pay up on ticket karma, which was the absolute best part of the whole thing! That and getting to see the infamous Wrigley Field in person, riding an El train/ subway, and hearing BUGS!! I was sooooooooo happy! That's my very favorite PJ rarity ( even more than Strangest Tribe, and damn you Norweigians for getting g this on the tour!!;-) ), because it's such an oddity! And then getting to do Dallas/OKC run was awesome first time I've gotten to do a run in we over a decade! And my first time getting to see the band two nights in a row in different cities. Thanks to all the kick ass PJ fans that made that happen for my sister and I! I got her hooked.. This was a truly truly amazing tour, the setlists were insane, three hour concerts, hearing Pirch at 2 am?!?!? Fuck that was the BEST!! Thank you PJ! You outdid yourselves this tour round!

Lmao at Pirch!!!!!! You know what I meant!

The past two US tours of lightning bolt brought joy and happiness in my life. It made me feel like I was 21 again and brought together many new and old friends of mine along with many others.

Best part of the show is during porch when they push the bulbs. I can't wait for the next set of North America tour dates. Saw eight shows on these tours including Wrigley.

All very nice, except the family vibe. I'm not into that. I like for a rock concert to be grown-up time - teens and older. Little kids at a rock concert just doesn't sit well with me (not that I'm not gracious when it happens.... but inside I'm annoyed).

Get over yourself!

I went to Moline and Milwaukee with my wife, 13 year-old daughter, and 9 year-old son. We rocked out and were more into the show than either the people who sat down with their arms crossed or the people that just wanted to go out and get wasted on $10 beers and embarrass themselves!

the great set lists. Got to see Dallas, OKC, and Tulsa. Great set lists for each show. got to knock off some great songs off my list. I may be in the minority here, but that version of "black" from Tulsa is bad ass! Just really digging it.

Damn, that's 3 for 3 then.
Dude's prob freaked out.

Guys got BIG marbles for trying. Differences aside.

yeah, pretty obvious that he don't hang out around here often
if he thought everyone would just embrace his idea.....
PJ has one of the most intelligent and opinioned fan bases I have been around.

Us and the Linkin Park fans!

San Diego and Denver were the highlights of this tour for me. What made them special over the other shows of this tour were the cities themselves, the great fans we met and getting together with my sister/brother and their husband/wife. Such a great time in both cities, San Diego is amazing and Denver was surprisingly awesome.

As far as the band, well they are sounding pretty damn good right now. I don't know why but the San Diego show had amazing sound, the set list was awesome and the band was on point. I don't think I could have imagined a better listening experience.

No idea what the losers you happened to be next to at a show has to do with anything, or how much more you rocked out applies.
That's nice you enjoyed yourself.
I prefer not to have little kids around at concerts. Not that i show it if it happens, as I mentioned. FYI, 13 is teenaged. Teenagers should be at rock concerts. It's where they belong. 9 isn't even that bad, but i wouldn't want to be near someone that young at a show. Really I'm talking little kids. I find them to be a real distraction. Just an opinion, Geez, lol.

I don't appreciate people like you making blanket statements about not bringing your family to a show. It makes you seem very selfish and entitled.

Do you have children?
