Would love to have been there. To those listening in the sound seemed a bit off. Hopefully the sound at the venue was spot on! Shame about the slight delay, but as always the boys shrugged it off and eventually got the show moving. Nice to see a big spread of Gigaton songs.

First five songs were pure fire.  Probably could’ve left after that and been happy ( and for a few minutes there it seemed that may be possibility).  The tech problems definitely drained the air out of building, especially after waiting for a 9:30 start.   My first Whoever Said live, and oh man, it’s killer. I love gigaton but 6 of 7 after EF seemed a bit much.   A lot of technical glitches but band sounds great.  Heard some people left cause of heat.  Shame so many tickets were wasted and not given to “real fans”. Time to get some sleep and do it again tomorrow.

Based on how few tickets were given to call-in winners and the fact that it was a "SiriusXM event" we knew it would be few fans and a lot of VIPs.

They all are.

too bad all those tickets being wasted considering there was 160 or so people waiting across the street. I was No. 116.

So I was an early call in winner (show was amazing and I’ll review it more completely tomorrow) but there were WAY more winners there than I expected. The line for winners was almost completely wrapped around the building and had at least 500 people in it. It honestly felt like it was mostly fans - tons of people singing along.  Def some people sitting but overall great crowd.  Little to no celebs from where I was sitting (Row A of BALC) - just Robin from Stern and Heidi Klein.  Absolutely spectacular show (despite then tech issues). Hard to Imagine possibly the best song ever.  Unbelievable night!!!

Wow! Amazing show! I’ll leave my review tomorrow, but for now, suffice it to say not only was I lucky enough to win a phone contest 2 1/2 years ago (which I still can’t believe!), but when the show finally happened, I was lucky enough to get first row! It was incredible! Ed handed me a pick after HTI (one of my favorite songs ever, which I never thought I’d hear again). Then during baba oreily, I got to strum Mike’s guitar.  Just a totally surreal experience!

I knew this show would be a letdown to most people from the start. I’m surprised the band did it knowing the room would be filled with mostly non-fans. I don’t know if I’m reading too much into it , but that setlist almost seems like a fuck you to the suits that were there and a treat for the real fans who were lucky to be there. I feel terrible for those who waited to get in, you guys truly deserved it. Especially after hearing people were leaving mid way through? Weird. 

I wasn’t there so this post could be way off base. I’m sure the real fans who were there had the time of their lives , it’s just a shame there wasn’t more of them. Imagine that theater filled with only 10c members?

Disappointed to hear parts of the show sounded terrible if listening in. (I’m in Australia so didn’t listen in). Hoping for all in attendance it sounded better at the venue. Real bummer too, that there were tech issues early in the show. PJ have had their share of ups and downs lately. Let the tour continue and looking forward to the rest of the setlists. 

What are you talking about? It sounded great. How can you be disappointed for something you didn’t even listen to? Odd.

An evening you will never forget! Share your story with anyone who will listen.

I was thinking the same thing about the set list.

To tell u the truth. I was expecting huge reaction after this and fan base go nuts 
But most of comments in social. Media has this weird vibe.. Not sure why that happen. 

Thanks SEA ❤️

too bad all those tickets being wasted considering there was 160 or so people waiting across the street. I was No. 116.

You have any idea how many got in?

And to be clear, I was being sarcastic about leaving after first 5. That’s how great they were, and HTI was so sick and the energy was off the charts ( at least by me), that the tech issue or reboot or whatever it was was a big downer.

The show was great for me, especially since I only found out the night before I was in… thank You Andy! Great fan , also thanks to my significant other who she gave me the +1… even though this was her friend…. 2 amazing people who wanted me to experience this event 😦

I was in the balcony surrounded by mostly great people, a few disinterested ones… 🤷‍♂️

Hard to imagine, sleight of hand, never destination, parachutes were unreal. The technical difficulties killed the vibe a bit…band handled it as best they could. 

It was a cool event, the swag & open bar were nice touches…. Looking forward to msg tonight…

saw baba booey picking up his Tesla in the same garage I was in after the show was funny… I saw him on the floor of LA 2013 too

beautiful Robin being there made me happy

I definitely heard a few Ba Ba Booeys! Last night during the broadcast hahah.

As far I know only three people who on that line who got in and it was three randomly picked by someone handing out hard tickets. A lot of people left, including me after finding out it wasn't going to happen at around 9:30.

I know number 10 in line didnt get in.
A d I'm sure number 1-2 got in..
So 2 up to 9 are the people got in

I’ve seen over a hundred shows
Each  time l feel lucky to be there as each show is unique and for me I feel the music when it hits my soul
Was this the best PJ of all time? No, but who gives a shit
Most of the negative comments are from poeple who weren’t even there 
Sound issues = Ed goes mic-less and plays a beautiful song.
That is what make this band so great. 

Enjoy it in any form we get it 
Game 2 tonight
Much Love

Epic show. Fun. Weird.  One of the most unique sets they’ve ever played.  Brilliant.  Up in the balcony the energy was high.  Saw the Celtics owner, the president of the Red Sox and Theo Epstein in the crowd.
