    WTF? Do you think Ed and Andy hung out?

    No.

    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.

    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!

    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?
  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    No need for Eddie at all. Show was exactly what it should have been. Saw Philly 1 and MSG. Loved every second of them. Amazing to see the songs live.
