Ed describes the next song as one of the best ever that describes that feeling of being overwhelmed by all the bad news and fear mongering in the world.

But...if I felt like taking a jab, Id say we got the album treatment for the one that started everything in Philly, and NY got Sting.
For real though. Great set, and I love me some Police.
I was hoping for something way different than last night. Lots of repeats.
No light years, smile, no way, tremor Christ, ghost, in my tree, Love boat!? Wtf
Sting was cool and has an amazing voice.
Last night was miles ahead.
Thought last night was better. Seemed a little off tonight but still an enjoyable show.
2015: Global Citizen Festival
2016: Philly 1, Philly 2, MSG 1, MSG 2, Fenway 2
2018: Fenway 1, Fenway 2
2024: MSG 2, Philly 1, Philly 2, Fenway 1, Fenway 2
Great to see All or None, so jealous of people who got to see that one! It was the only song played tonight from the 2000s!
It was ok, not amazing. A little disappointed for NYC, they deserved better.
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

The only "issue" is that the setlist was average and repeating last 3 nights...
Anyeay it's always eorth being at the Garden.

Fun.
Congrats people. You might not have gotten Parachutes or some other song to complete your personal checklist... but you got a rock show.

more importantly had 10c reserved in section in 108 and a good portion of it was VIP's who were either late to the show, sat down, or left early.
Terrible

I'll bet every member of the band or their crew has, once or twice, said to one another, "That show was fuckin' tight, we killed it tonight! Let's see if the fans heard what we heard from the stage."
Then they just laugh their asses off when they read a standard like, "Quite a few repeats tonight," etc. etc. etc.
It's embarrassing.
Sure the sound cut out for a total of 8 seconds late but whatever. The other 2 hours 59 mins were great.
Please don't wait 6 more years to come back.

Shocked to get TWO guest appearances in one night. Wouldn't say I was expecting cheap trick, but I knew they were playing at this random place in Astoria around the same time so I wasn't exactly surprised to see them either. My seats in 224 were better than I expected and the section was rocking.
Thanks for a great evening.
