    Can’t get over how good they sounded last night.  Felt like they extended jammed many songs and just crushed it.  Guys were in a great mood overall.  Not sure I’ve seen Stone that engaged and animated at a show in a long time.  Not that he doesn’t always bring it but I just thought he had something extra last night.

    crowd around us was awesome (section 9).  

    the solat/breath combo was awesome.  Best version of breath I’ve ever heard in person.

    Garden, Alone. NFY, Breakerfall other highlights of the night for me.

    Cant wait for Monday- poncho and all

    Wow. Couldn’t disagree more. 

    Incredible setlist full of OG Gems. Was glad for the break from Jeremy and Black, and I’m sure we will get them Night 2. 

    Section 12 was rocking down behind Cubs dugout. Had a fantastic time.

  • Great setlist with the deep cuts I need to keep me going! Not just to the shows but in life. 

    Lol, I had a blast! Some songs that I never heard before, absolutely awesome. 

    My section 127 was a little into it, but didn’t matter to us. We were rockin’!

    If if I had one or two little critiques move Even Flow to an Encore and just change up the encore a little. Oh and no more Wrigley after Monday night.

    I mean as a SOX fan living in the NW Suburbs I don’t mind heading to Wrigley occasionally  but 5 straight is good for me.

    You're mad they didn't play Evil Little Goat?  Cause you love the song with all your heart or because some other crowd now boasts they got to see it first?

    It's pretty weird how competitive some PJ fans are. From merch to rarities to length of sets to posters for shows to which show was best to...

    I'm not in Chicago, but I hope all the fans there get a great night (again) for show II. If fans leave Chicago feeling the way I did leaving Seattle... the world will be a better place.

    There were only a few duds - SBM, know your rights - otherwise is was awesome - I really enjoyed the first 5-6 songs and the first encore, especially.

    Fuckin incredible set list minus the last encore. They mailed it in.... scratch a couple hard hitting fan favorites to please a crowd of people who could care less about hitting the road to see the greatest live act around. All around a 4.2/5 solely because the last encore. The same band that plays past curfew every time they play wrigley mails it in at the end and scratch’s songs off their original set just to adhere to “wrigleyville rules” I call bullshit. I’ve been to 8 shows now,  and that could’ve been the best had they not cut several songs short and scratched even more from their set that would’ve easily completed a very dynamic show. Not to mention this was the shortest show of all US shows... 
    You do realize they slso ADDED SONGS, right? Almost as many adds as scrstch offs. So in terms of length, can't really say they scrstched off to adhere to rules.
    LOL “mailed it in”

    please

    Couldn’t have said it better. It’s awful and barely a song. Who cares

    That was a blast!  Alone into RVM rocked. The only bad thing I have to say is I couldn't believe the amount of people standing in line for merch during the show.

    Yep.  Insane.  Went to the bathroom 2-3 times during the show and every time there were a bunch of people waiting in line.....people more concerned with tshirts and stickers than the actual show....I just don't get it.

    Yeah, that’s sad. You’re missing the damn show, man!

    but who knows, my wife always sneaks away to buy me a shirt. So it could be people doing a cool thing for their loved one/friend/kid. You never know.
