Sick of the hype

5against1-

I don't know if I am the only one but I am sick of all the hype for the MSG shows. Camden 1 and Bonnaroo were just as good. The MSG show was great but please don't call it the best PJ show ever. I can think of 2 shows I attended off the top of my head that blow it away. State College 03, and the Gorge 06 night 1.

A lot of it is hype, but it's the best of the tour for sure. It's MSG man. Like it or not NYC is the center of the country and MSG is the most famous arena in the world and whatever goes on there will be special.

It's the center of the country in the eyes of New Yorkers, and no one else. No one outside of New York pays reverence to that city like its own residents do.

But, I agree that last night's show looks to be the best of the tour so far.

Yeah who cares about New York except for new yorkers, and people who like overconsuming!!

I hope you al have a great time at the show, maybe get lucky and hear a No Way, or smile.

I'm calling Boston 1 they break out Hold On>

OSak00006

so are the boston shows over hyped as well?

so far, people have rushed out of every show on this tour and said the show was insane and the best show ever. Then arguments occur over who's shows are better. I think the band is playing terrifically, the fans are fanning terrifically everywhere (the Camden shows were the loudest PJ crowds I have personally heard). The shows are all very close, and to argue which show is better is really arguing over centimeters-worth of personal taste.

But I dont get how a good show in MSG should be considered legendary just because it occured in MSG.

You're not the only one. I've been saying I can't wait until 6/26 just so I can stop seeing MSG threads dominating GTF and the Porch. Of course, half of that is just my jealousy talking and the other half is that on 6/26 my 3 shows are coming up next

I'll never understand why people feel compelled to rate or compare shows. Everyone is going to think their show(s) is/are special but I do agree that people are hyping up MSG a little too much. Yes, I would love to see them in NYC just as I had wanted to see them in FL (unfortunately neither happened :() but I don't think Hartford or Mansfield are going to be any less special than any of the shows so far this tour.

You almost have to be there to understand.

Last night was my first MSG show and that place got so loud and just shook when the band barrelled into Cordory. I have never felt anything like that. Tonight should be no different.

I have been to all of the major Boston/Mansfield shows ('03 in particular) and even though the setlist for last night's show can't hold a candle to them, the feeling inside that building was completely different.

new yorkers? really?

funny I don't hear ny'ers call it the city, so really it is everyone else

really? is that why there's so many people here, every major media outlet, the financial center, and a whole host of other things based here??

Setlist wise and band energy maybe, but i was lucky enough to travel from s. florida for msg 1-2 in 03 and i would have to say regardless of what songs were played MSG has some of the most powerfull shows ever.

All I know is that it sounds like a lot of happy people were getting groovy to the PJ tunes last night. Not so bad, eh? So, they want to post about it. A little enthusiasm lasting for over 24hours is pretty cool. Let the wave of pleasure just roll and roll.

At the same time PJ was rocking the MSG to the roof and beyond, BRob hit his 1000th hit. It was quite the night (oh, and Orioles beat the Cubs. )
