Boss shows. I hope we get a juicy box set of every one!

If you’re looking for complaints keep scrolling, because this is my first show.

That rain delay was worth it the moment they came out. Energy was twice as high and Given To Fly/Why Go in the downpour was so fucking cool. 

The highlights for me were Black, LEASH, Evil Little Goat (!), Come Back for Stan Mikita, Smile, Rearviewmirror, and Baba O’Riley as a closer with Eddie smashing a guitar Who style! (The whole show was a huge highlight though!)

Greatest band in the world. Period.

The entire band was PISSED at Ed all night long. They were also sloppy all night.

That being said, those first 6 songs, the way they came out was the PJ I fucking miss!!!! Started 7 rows back in front of jeff, ended up 3 rows back in front of mike after the delay. The group of PJ fans around me was awesome! By the way, the way they timed everything with the delay was perfect.

Smile > Goat > Leash was INSANE!!!!!!!!

I did not get a vibe that they were pissed at Eddie or didnI think they were sloppy. I was about 7 rows deep and I thought they killed it and were having a good time. 

Just the glares Ed was giving Mike. Stone was giving Ed the death stare all night. They fucked up DTE and even flow for sure, other songs their timing was off sometimes. Not bitching at all, just stating what I saw and heard. Either way, it was the best show at Wrigley to date

Great show. First 4 songs with the rain falling was amazing.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for Given to Fly, a nice and emotional moment for me and my mom in memory of my brother that took his own life two years ago today. 

If anyone reading this and is thinking about doing the same, don’t give up y’all

In less depressing news, a wonderful show all around. ❤️

Fun show, wish it was three hours, but I cannot complain.  Two of my favorite songs played over this weekend, garden and immortality.

Cant wait for the second Fenway show.

EV was having some difficulty with his guitar early and had to check with a tech who was located behind mike...  maybe that was the "glares"?

This is a good explanation for the glares.  Ed was obviously not happy with his guitar and from where I was sitting in the 131 section it sounded like it was coming in and out or not clear to clear at times when it shouldn’t have.  I could be wrong though, just my perception.

I think Ed skipped a verse on Patriot?

Didn't notice anything else out of the ordinary until the end of the night when Stone left the stage before everyone and they all posed for photos without him.

I think he just looks like that. Stone has RBF something fierce.

Great time, great weekend.  7th show, first in GA.  As mentioned earlier, I missed the alleged anymosity, but had better site lines of ed, Jeff, and Mike than Stone.  But as mentioned earlier,def noticed Ed's lines on DTE mixed up, and some early mix ups on Even Flow.  Small potatoes though, left both nights just being thankful and hoping we can keep seeing them perform at or near this level for years to come.

I hope this doesn't turn into Baltimore again.  Lots of people speculating that Jeff was mad at Ed, etc, all because Ed forgot to mention his name and Jeff bolted off the stage at the end. Turned out to be absolutely nothing but people all gotta throw their "I thinks" in.
