Amazing show, my 30th. Almost skipped it. Soo happy. Never heard Wash, Sleeping By Myself before. Only 4 new songs was a good thing with this sold out crowd. Eruption I have actually seen 4x, this was his tightest version

The Rock · May 2022

These setlists remind me of the 2000 tour and I'm here for it.

Gern Blansten · May 2022

They scratched In Hiding....would love to hear that one again in Oakland

nicknyr15 · May 2022

Man that’s a tough scratch. In hiding is one of the best live songs imo.

100%
It should be a staple. With faithful every show. And solat

PJALK · May 2022

Solid Set List. What an Awesome Band, but we all know this here.... Red Mosquito, Why Go, Wash, Evolution, Eruption, Escape....and yes, In Hiding should never be scratched off.

Stay off the politics speeches would be my wish as well.

Gern Blansten · May 2022

honestly I agree with Ed's politics but I don't want to hear it either...play In Hiding instead

Loujoe · May 2022

It's the astronaut's fault. Black is a classic fan pleaser for sure. In hiding is just plain awesome! My bud went to her first show a while ago when they played wash, satans bed, leaving here and didn't really like it. Didn't hear any popular songs she knew. I thought it was sick! A tough balance to keep. Maybe do a deep cuts show and a classic hits show? Happy and happy.

Tough to hear Ed say, “Elections have consequences” with everything that’s happened in a year and a half.

And yeah, it’s rough seeing In Hiding scratched for anything.

BloodMeridian80 · May 2022

No politics from Ed and the band? Uh, that’s what he does, especially when people’s freedoms are being attacked by a gov’t that’s supposed to hold church and state separate. I’d expect more of it going forward, especially second US leg.

Great opener with Wash, never disappoints. Thought all the Gigaton songs sounded good, though Ed flubbed lyrics to Superblood. Surprised how good Alright sounded live. Anyone recognize the intro ‘jam’ to Corduroy?

Other highlights: Even Flow Santa, I Got Id into Red Mosquito (In Hiding at the front of that duo would of been unreal, shoulda left the astronaut in space - kidding), Smile, and Leaving Here.

Side note: I think they could pull off a great, close to album version of WMA. The tag approached that level with Josh’s added percussion.

Me too... this was my 3rd show this tour and I'm frustrated. I'm sure it's great that Molly is graduating but he spent alot of time looking for her and then talking... scratching a song, 😡😡😡😡.
And I had to hear the Tesla, bike story again.... thanks for Wash though.

bootlegger10 · May 2022

Yeah, I thought the percussion/drums at the end of Daughter were great. I knew it wasn’t going to happen but I was thinking they could jump right into WMA legit right now.

I may have lost my hearing over the years but it didn’t seem that loud overall. Especially the first three songs.

Alright was really interesting live. You could hear a pin drop in the arena. Just a really unique song. I wonder if it will ever turn into a singalong as it could be really powerful.

Leaving Here was a great surprise and is a treat like any white whale we are all searching for at these shows.

it was fun to watch Jeff especially during Quick Escape. The bass is huge in that song and he gets into it.

Crowd was really great from my perspective. They admittedly did something cheesy (Ed said first time) and they had different sections of the crowd compete to be the loudest. Cheesy but who doesn’t enjoy that?

Red Mosquito was for the scorpions instead of the mosquitos per Ed. Ed told Mike not to get excited about Scorpions (the band).

Ed mentioned riding his bike in San Diego and hearing someone in a Tesla roll up next to him playing DOTC. Ed said he waived and the lady looked at him like he was a homeless man or something. Ha.

I have said before that I wish the crowd would let Ed take Daughter’s tag where he wants to versus the crowd starting into the call and response section. Cool though that the crowd is engaged.

Great night. I wonder sometimes if at some point one show will be enough but not yet.

Gern Blansten · May 2022

I hate the call and response stuff...at any concert

noahbena57 · May 2022

In Hiding and Come Back both scratched, but man that show was fantastic. Still freaking out over Wash intro straight into GTF, amazing start to the show!

josevolution · May 2022

Ok 23-25 songs to little, no political speeches Uhmm what else to complain about, I’m glad he’s keeping the current events in the spotlight!

DC111483 · May 2022

Great show. So much to share and so excited to hear No Code. While we can gripe about “story time Ed” I wouldn’t trade it for anything. They played what they wanted and said what they wanted to and I was down for it all. Tight performance and everyone in the arena- on stage and off- was having a blast.

I get what Ed meant about the vibe and not wanting to interrupt it with Come Back but that would’ve been awesome to hear- same with In Hiding. Where In Hiding was slated in the set would’ve been unreal. After two consecutive scratches from the setlist I’m curious how River Cross fits live. I wanted to hear it badly but it didn’t seem like it was going to work in the middle of that encore set. Maybe it’s better suited for an opener- either show opener or encore? Would love to hear it when I see them again in Nashville.

Safe travels to everyone who’s headed home or to the next show.
