    Besides Rain, I don't consider the other songs "covers" even if they technically are. They are part of the catalog.

    Woe is me, forced to watch them kill Comfortably Numb. The shame, the shame ...

    Was the best solo mike ever played last night from the moment they start playing
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    For me, the show went far beyond my expectations. I figured the sound would be horrid because, well, it's an old baseball field ... but it was actually better then most venues I've seen them play at. The cold front passed and the weather was just perfect. Also, lots of positive energy flowing around, generated from the band and I'd rank this as a top tier show that I've been to, and I've seen some good ones.

    I'll admit, the 3rd encore surprised me. I thought it was odd that they would end with Alive, but it just turned 11 pm and I figured they had a curfew hard out so I headed towards the exits. Good thing Ed only took a minute to come back out or I would have missed it!

    great show...was pissed Mary didn't make it, missed it again. My own take, Fenway Night 2 was better, felt set-list was better. They are always great, that's why my best friend and I made the trip from Altoona Pa to Fenway to Wrigley (and he has stage 3 cancer) and battled the road, elements (2 hour merch lines) Masters Of War was epic! That's 3 shows in 4 months, I rank them Fenway2, Philly (Ten show) and then this one. Anyone know if they are doing a DVD/Box set or anything around the Wrigley/Fenway shows? Thx...just walked in from 10 hour road trip, exhausted but always worth it to see the best band ever!!!! Night 2 will be epic, wish I was there but back to reality):

    Amazing show! It was my first time in GA, which was awesome! I was amazed at how I wasn't squished the whole show and how respectful everyone was. Great time!

    I loved the setlist. Masters of War was amazing, Inside Job was insanely emotional, and I got the 3 songs of theirs that helped me the most after my mom and brother died (Release, Sad, and Light Years) which added more to my love of the show. Can't wait until tomorrow!

    What a great show. McCready was on fire as usual. I won't be at Monday's show but I'm expecting it to be the best of the 4 ball park shows.

    Just feel so lucky to have been there. Missed Fenway at the very last minute but this made up for it and thensome.

    I also thought Masters was the highlight of the night. Glad to cross a few songs off the old list.

    Sound was great. Band was great. Crowd was great. Weather was great. Everything about Wrigley and the neighborhood is just A++++

    Amazing show! Loved "Light Years" and "Let Me Sleep". Mike killed it with his solo in Masters. Tomorrow night is going to be insane!!!

    I had tickets to Monday but couldn't make it work. Had to leave Chicago today to come back home.

    I'm devastated.

    Hope you found someone else to take them. Would hate to think that two seats would be left empty tomorrow.

    The guys are music geeks; if they enjoy playing these songs, I am happy to listen.

    Overall a great show. Felt very similar to Fenway 1 and I thought the band sounded awesome. My only gripe, like many others have said, has been the high number of covers but that's being picky. Can't wait for Monday!
