Was Night 1 or 2 better at Wrigley?

I was at night 1, what is your opinion if you were at both shows?

Night 2

N1 was great. Mike on Masters of War was one of the coolest concert moments I've ever seen.

But...N2 just absolutely fucking destroyed! Deep, Animal, Blood, Comatose and fucking Of The Earth!!!

Night 2

I was at all four (Fenway; Wrigley) and while Fenway's debatable, I don't think Wrigley was even close. They played with more intensity in night 2. Both great (as always), but I think #2 was better overall.

Night 2

I was at both.....saw 27 new live songs between the two nights, which was definitely cool (shows #6 and #7 overall). Loved getting to hear Inside Job, Comfortably Numb, All the Way and Masters of War Saturday, but I definitely didn't feel like it competed for the best setlist I've seen from them. Mike's solo on Even Flow was probably the best one I have heard...long, engaged, guitar behind the head....superb. Last nights, however.....I never thought anything would top the totality of being at PJ20 day 2, but last night did it. I'm not even sure I have an adjective to describe accurately what the show was.....just phenomenal! The section of the show between Lukin (and the stop stop stop)/MYM all the way through Blood had 4 of my top 5 songs in that section, and the only one missing was earlier in the set.

Night 1

Night 1 was better. I heard no new songs on night 2, which after getting new stuff the 3 previous shows (F1, F2, W1) was pretty disappointing, especially when you are expecting otherside since it was cut off the setlist at the first Wrigley show.

Night 2 had all the potential to legendary but really crashed after the first set. If they had played Garden instead of Jeremy, they would have covered all of Ten over two nights. Last Kiss should have been otherside. The final nail in the coffin was playing even flow late... thought we were getting away with not hearing it again. At least they skipped DTE.

So you've already seen Of The Earth, Black Red Yellow, Don't Gimmie No Lip and Throw Your Arms??

i didnt see both so i cant vote.. but i do think saturday was pretty awesome although probably a hair under the 2nd night. that start night 2 looked insane.

i kinda think the gap between the two wrigleys is smaller than the gap between the two fenways- BUT who cares, if you were at any, you won..

This is really true. These were four special, unique shows. The memories should be cherished. Who knows if we will ever see them do something like this again?

Umm....Time Has Come Today had never been played before.

Night 2

Night 2 wins hands down for me...
the first set was PERFECTION!!
Highlights from Night 1 were Masters of War into Fast Patriot...
and I loved Inside Job with the Steve Gleason intro!!
Both were GREAT shows...
but I have to give night 2 an edge for both setlist and performance!!

Yes, some multiple times.

I wasn't aware that partially played intro to RITFW was a Pearl jam song... what album is it on?

Night 2

I was fortunate to be at Night 2 - comparing the setlists, and the attention this show really grabbed, I honestly feel Night 2 was the better of the two (though I wish I was able to be there for both nights)

Night 1

Masters of War > (Fast)Patriot was the best one/two punch of the 7 shows I saw on this leg. and then Let Me Sleep in the encore.

it was extremely close though. RBY was AWESOME

I don't know. I like both nights as compliments to each other. Like a part 1 and part 2 with a full day intermission. I don't really think I can choose.

I like this. I think both pairs of shows in both cities were intended to be thought of just this way.

I was only at night 2 so clearly for me its the only choice

poll is flawed! too many people voting for the one show they were at.. how is that objective by voting against a piece of paper vs a live experience?

I was at both. I'm going with one. Just a better set imo. Less rocking? Yes. Just a little more special with Light Years & Inside Job.

Nice, I was wondering if you were on here! Totally forgot to ask at the show.

Night 2

I was at both shows and thoroughly enjoyed each. The first night definitely had its moments and rarities. That said, Monday was insane. I don't have an opinion on Jeff and Matt as they are always so consistent, but I felt like all three of Eddie, Stone, and Mike were more into the show on night two. Any show that features a bottle of wine and some Pete Townsend windmilling in the first ten minutes you know is going to be great. Stone even had a smile on his face most of the night.
