I enjoyed the 2016 tour a lot more. No album to push made the sets that much better imo.
True. Not having an album means more chances to get songs like U, Undone, Wash, etc.
I'd say 2011/2012 was the same, but that was also during all the side projects and the PJ20 stuff.
Those are the two years of tours I find myself listening to most often - it was the onset of my madness with this band. Better late than never, I guess?
I too was at Worcester 1 and this was my first show after a long hiatus. As someone who has been to a few shows over the past couple of years at ballparks, I reflect back on this show with fond memories. Venue felt intimate and I was able to move around the venue to different vantage points with little hassle from security. Hope we can get back to smaller shows like this in the future.
1996 - Columbia, MD & Augusta, ME 2013 - Worcester, MA (Lightning Bolt Release) 2016 - Fenway Park I and II 2017 - HSCM (EV) Boston, MA 2018 - Seattle I, Fenway Park I and II 2021 - Ohana Festival (EV/EV/PJ) 2022 - EV (Beacon Theater II & Newark) 2023 - Austin, TX I & II
When I saw the tour kick off in Pittsburgh, it was my first show in a little over 5 years. Hard to believe it's now been longer than that since that show, but I've since doubled my PJ live count. Maybe it's because time is relative but that 5 years between shows seemed a lot longer than the past 5 1/2 years.
I thought 2013 was pretty damn solid. First tour that really blew me away since Canada 2005. The encores were a bit formulaic, but the main sets were great and I enjoyed a lot of of the new material live.
"What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."
I loved this tour. Liked it more than ‘16 because it had a dedicated theme that hadn’t lost its cool yet. 6 years later if your stage still has the same setup and you’re still swinging on hanging balls and slinging tambos at a kid too young to be there, your act is getting old.
‘13 was a great tour though. Love me some pendulum.
Only made it to Phoenix but I was stoked with the setlist and crowd. Got a bunch of songs I never heard live in that setlist. I enjoy a lot of the boots. The encore's weren't the most amazing by any stretch of the imagination... Maybe just a few shows were great encores.

Whats not to love?
* from memory. I don’t recall the actual number of unique songs but it is impressive
