WTF? Do you think Ed and Andy hung out?"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
I was at Seattle 1 & 2. The first night I was 12 rows from the front, Stone's side. The second night I was 12 rows from the back, Mike's side. Loved both nights, but definitely better to be closer to the front. I was blown away N1 with Pushin Forward Back. Wanted to hear River of Deceit so badly that I teared up a little N1. I wasn't really familiar with the MLB songs, really enjoyed them live, Stargazer and Man of Golden Words were standouts for me. And the covers - omg! Jump into the Fire (never heard this before) and Hey Baby were fantastic.
I was not expecting Ed to show up for the shows ... I think it would have detracted too much. But I was kind of thinking that we might see a special guest on stage in Seattle ... maybe Bruce Fairweather. I did think the giant Andy Wood cutout was a little creepy and also the poster. I know people thought the poster was awesome, but depicting Andy with a crown of thorns (like a Jesus figure) ... not my cup of tea.
It really felt to me that the guys on stage were having such a good time. N1 gave me a great view of Stone, grooving out with lots of smiles. And N2, it was great to see Matt rocking out. Loved every single second of these shows and would go to another one in a heartbeat.
Last words: WAR PIGS! F'n amazing."Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar. We were but stones, your light made us stars."0 -
So now can we get some dates

Cornell doesn't mix up his sets nearly as much as PJ. Even with his Auioslave tours, solo, and SG shows, CC just doesn't vary his sets the way Eddie does.
That being said, I was not disappointed, but just know how much combined talent those musicians have...
Amazing shows all around, can't wait for next tour!0 -
I saw them at MSG, a tight, incredibly sounding (Chris sounded fantastic especially considering Him sounded rather weak with SG a couple years ago) and nostalgic reunion I was so very happy and grateful to experience. I loved TOTD in the 90s and seeing them play together, with some great covers was amazing.
That said, I was pretty surprised that Follow My Way, a personal fave, was not played nor has anyone really mentioned it. It is an intense vocal, so I can understand why they didn't do it, but was anyone else wondering why it was dropped?0 -
I only saw Philly 1, but it was well worth the 12 hour round trip drive.
I'm pretty bummed that my show was the ONLY show where they didn't play River of Deceit, but I'll get over it.
It was an amazing night to see these musicians play a bunch of songs we never see them play. This was a phenomenally unique experience, and I'm glad I caught one of the shows.
I would love to see them do some more.0 -
I only saw MSG
That being said for a band with one album that never was performed live how can anyone expect more.
It was amazing. The band sounded great. The covers were great.
Just great.0 -
Man, I wish they would add more dates at some point! I would love to see these guys! Plus, I wouldn't chant Ed's name!!!Bigfoot is blurry.

Philly 2 was insanely good! No Ed, no problem! This was the Andy Wood tour, very simple, not sure what is hard to understand. Majority of the songs performed were MLB songs or TOTD, both of which lead back to Andy, not Eddie.Tweeter Center - Aug 29, 2000;Tweeter Center - Aug 30, 2000;Allstate Arena - Oct 09, 2000;Pepsi Arena - Apr 29, 2003;Bryce-Jordan Center - May 03, 2003;Bell Center - Jun 29, 2003;Tweeter Center - Jul 02, 2003;Tweeter Center - Jul 03, 2003;Tweeter Center - Jul 11, 2003;Tweeter Center at the Waterfront - Jul 05, 2003;Tweeter Center at the Waterfront - Jul 06, 2003;Madison Square Garden - Jul 08, 2003;Madison Square Garden - Jul 09, 2003;TD Banknorth Garden - May 24, 2006;TD Banknorth Garden - May 25, 2006;Fleet Center - Sept 28, 2004;Fleet Center - Sept 29, 2004;Pepsi Arena - May 12, 2006 New England Dodge Music Arena - May 13, 2006;Grant Park - Aug 05, 2007;Bonnaroo - Jun 14, 2008;Dodge Music Center - Jun 27, 2008;Tweeter Center - Jun 28, 2008;Tweeter Center - Jun 30, 2008 XL Arena - May 15, 2010;TD Garden - May 17, 2010;Alpine Valley Music Theatre - Sept 03, 2011;Alpine Valley Music Theatre - Sep 04, 2011 Corel Centre - Sep 16, 2005;Colisee Pepsi Arena - Sep 20, 2005; Wrigley Field - July 19, 2013; DCU Center - Oct 15, 2013; DCU Center - Oct 16, 2013; Fenway Park - August 5, 2016; Fenway Park - August 7, 2016
