Tonight in Cincy... all I can say is WOW!!! My 7th PJ show over the last 12 plus years and I am absolutely floored by how phenomenal that show was... as my ears are still ringing.
The energy of the crowd was unlike any I have EVER witnessed. Eddie was in the best mood I have ever seen... and you could totally tell he was feeding off the energy.
I was also extremely fortunate to share this phenomenal experience with my lovely wife.
Present Tense, Corduroy, Crazy Mary, Leash, Wishlist, Hail Hail... I could go on and on about the set list... and the ENERGY... it was unlike anything I have ever witnessed.
I have been to dozens of concerts, 7 PJ concerts... and this was hands down the greatest of all time.
Eddie, Stone, Mike, Jeff, Matt, and Boom... thank you for a special night.

The show was great and all, but I'm surprised you rank it higher than Cleveland 06. IMO, Cleveland was a WAY better show. Better setlist, better venue, better sound. The crowd was probably better in Cincy, though. The crowd was unreal last night.

It was a great show--we started at the pre-concert party and rocked there and then rocked at the concert. I am still having a hard time talking!
Highlights for me: My brother calling that they would open with "Long Road," the disco ball (a welcome return), "RVM," and "Inside Job."
I could go on and on, actually...they are just OUTSTANDING!
I can see where you are coming from... each show I've been to has it's unique feel and greatness about it. But I think the reason I'm so high on this Cincy show is the energy... every member of the crowd AND every member of the band... the energy was truly electric and really amazing.
Finally a show where it appeared everybody there knew the boys and their tunes very well. After these recent shows where by my observation about 1/2 the people are sitting 1/2 the time and don't know but 1 or 2 songs... it was a breath of fresh air to be completely surrounded from top to bottom by fellow KNOWLEDGABLE PJ fans... and you could tell that Eddie and the band knew what type of crowd they had on this night.

AMEN!
I was in MSG in 2003, and nearly everyone in the section we were in was sitting THE WHOLE TIME (except my husband and I), and they kept yelling "Play something from TEN...play JEREMY!" I was sooooo ticked off that they didn't appreciate all of their stuff. I didn't hear that once last night. My only worry was the drunk kid behind me who passed out on his chair...and missed the whole show. Poor kid...doesn't know what he missed. That was on hell of a night.
Phil-where in KY? Did you go to the pre-concert party?

Wow. You had to drive a whole ten minutes. How horrible. I just jumped on the barge, went back to the party and was able to eat there.
I just think you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. If you didn't like it, that's fine...but don't insult those of us (who have been to MANY PJ shows) who thought the crowd was AMAZING.
Cheers to all who were there.
I, too, jumped back on the party barge and found food aplenty waiting on the other side!
Now on my other subject... The Cincinnati police need to remove the corncobs from their assholes. WTF is up with those guys. It was like the freaking SS. I went to the CCFA party in Newport (which I loved and met many wonderful people). I had 1/2 beer because my stomach can't really handle alcohol that well. We hopped on the beer barge and headed to the show. They gave you one free beer on the boat. I ended up drinking about 3/4 of it before we landed on the other side. We walked up to the venue which is right next to the boat ramp and headed up the stairs. A couple from Canada had asked if I would take their picture because it was beautiful yesterday and I was happy to hand my beer to my husband while I took their picture. As soon as the camera came up to my eyes I heard this pissed off voice saying "That wasn't very nice of you to set him up like that for a $100 fine!". I looked up and these three nazi cops in white uniforms took some very quick and scary strides towards me. I was frozen because these were rather large, scary looking guys and I'm 5'3". The main asshole grabbed the beer out of my husbands hand, tossed the beer out in a very threatening manner and informed us that "THIS IS NOT LAS VEGAS". WTF? There were people carrying beers all around us and not a word was said because a few people had carried their beers up from the dock. No signs were posted and the boat employees hadn't told us to dispose of our beers before we got off the boat. It's funny that it's ok for you to buy beer and drink it at the venue but you can't walk from the boat dock to the venue. Stupid laws. It was so aggressive and fast that I didn't even know what happened until it was over. I was not drunk nor was my husband. We were taking a picture for Christs sake and they acted like I was scoring drugs on a street corner. I witnessed various assholish cops roughing people up in the venue as well. Glad I don't live up there. No wonder the african american community is so scared of them. I sure was. They seem to be wound a tad bit too tight..... besides that and some guy being wasted from the beginning of the show and then throwing up everywhere after the second song, the show was amazing!!! Loved it!

I think Mr. Pollard was way drunk by that time. He reminds me of a drunken uncle at a wedding or something but still loved him. He was cracking Ed up.

NATI!!!! YOU KICKED ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was fortunate to have met TDUB and PBM!! Great guys!!
TDUB... Thanks for helpin with hypin the crowd before we landed in the nati!!
sorry to hear about your bad experience with the cops...that does suck. on a lighter note...we now have a "Cincy-puker" ... no doubt this fellow can't live up to the legend of our pal the Boston-puker. Maybe we can get a "<insert city here>-puker" for every show.
ds
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....
ROFLMAO!!! hilarious!!!
No problem, my man!! too bad my wife got REALLY sick. the alcohol plus motion sickness did her in. but she was fine by the time PJ took the stage...
highlight of the night for me - talked to Ed...for like 5 secs..but still!!
you should've seen me brother!! i was getting everyone going in my section. i have no voice now and two bruised up shins/knees where i kept falling down from jumping so high during comatose!!!
rock on man!! it was good to meet you. you and your friends are incredible!!
My voice is still SHOT!!! I felt bad for your wife while we were waitin on the barge! Great meetin ya brother!!!!!
It was amazing that the last thing I said to my husband before the set started was "Wouldn't it be just awesome if they played The Long Road?"
What does Mr. Pessimist say? I looked at all the setlists on the computer, they won't play it.
I was the one squealing with delight when I recognized the first notes of the first song!!!!
PRICELESS!!!!!
