What I Realized at Fenway

JOEJOEJOE

I realized something new that makes a PJ show unlike any other show.   The anticipation of what song will be next makes the show really incredible.

I've seen over 30 shows since 1991, and I never before thought to appreciate the "mystery" of the next song!

Agreed, we'll said. How about hearing one little note between songs and trying to figure out what is next?

I made the mistake of viewing the leaked setlist prior to the show.  First time I've ever done that.  I wasn't referencing it very often.  I mainly just wanted to make sure my bathroom/beer breaks didn't coincide with something I didn't want to miss.  The beer lines were ridiculous on night 2.  I was actually sober at the end of the concert.  Why Fenway doesn't have beer vendors in the stands blows my mind.

I wish I was drunk cause then I would have thought I heard all of dirty frank!

I'll say this....I felt weird looking at the setlist, like I was violating a code or something.

I was ticked off at Night 1 at Fenway (only show I went to in the US).  They had a two beer limit, and there were six in our group.  Of course, only two of us were willing to do beer runs so my extra was always taken.  I was hoping to let loose a little but only got like three beers during the show and they were small cups.  Oh well, made the 10am flight back more bearable.

But yes, the anticipation is awesome.   I used to get excited when they would be running around changing the songs but usually it doesn't end up being anything too crazy.

Thanks Pete

I realized that the volume was not as high as 2016.

I can no longer willingly drink more than possibly two beers at a show, because I will not pay over $30 to have the 3rd.  It is absolutely insane the prices.  You can literally get illegal substances cheaper than a single draft beer, this is not sound healthonomics.
