  • Wanted to mention, that was the best Wash I’ve heard since pre-2010. Eddie killed the ending

    Show #30 for me and the first time I had no new songs (except RRHOF).  I can’t imagine another band where that’s possible.  Got some of my favorites with Leash and Inside Job and was so excited I scored pit tix.  Can’t wait til the next one.

    My only small complaint is: we are all
    old and chances are have to work the next day or get back to the kids that night.  Josh finished his set at 8, why wait until 9:15 to start the show?  Let’s get going at 8:30 or even 8:45!
    Oh yeah, and the pit was waaaay packed.   
    i'm guessing the band was waiting for more people to get in the venue and their seats.  $hitshow outside if you got to the venue after 630 pm with traffic and parking

    There was absolutely no coordination among police, venue staff, and parking lot staffs as far as directing cars. If I had known to go to the lot beyond the bridge in the first place, I would have gotten inside the venue 20-30 minutes earlier. As I was circling around I passed several parking garages that were closed, I guess they are only for the daytime businesses. Yes, parking far away did have the benefit of getting out of the neighborhood quicker.

    Was that really only the 11th Camden show? Two shows each in 98, 00, 03, 06, 08? Feels like it's been more.

    Nevertheless, it was awesome.

    That encore took a great show to the next level. Crowd was louder at msg for sure but that could just be the venue. Everyone seemed to be standing and way into the show. EV mentioned the msg show and you can tell that’s one everyone in the building will remember forever , including the band. Even Josh mentioned it during the opening set! 

     Would of loved leash after alive with all the lights on but who cares! What a fucking setlist. The tour seems to be getting better with every show. I wouldn’t worry if I was going to the next few

    I want to thank PJ for not giving the Balt people first shot at this show...

    Glad everyone enjoyed it.  I'll enjoy the boot!
    People are still on this? Lol.

    They’ll give Baltimore people a chance when they play Baltimore. Contrary to what this board would have you believe, not every 10C member travels 2+ hours to go to shows. Would be unfair to those people who actually live in Baltimore.
    Exactly right. And I had GA tickets for that show.

  • I wouldn't trade the experience at MSG on Sunday, but ***DAMN*** what a setlist and from the videos I've seen they sounded great again! Happy for everyone who was there.

    I was on the rail by the steps by Mike where he and Ed would come over a lot. The venue security guard told me and again these are his words, that the band wanted to go on around 8:45 but there was some wiring/electrical problem on Mike's side of the stage and that is what caused the delay

  • Parking at Camden now definitely worse than a few years ago.  A lot more new construction buildings/condos along the waterfront just south of Ben Franklin Bridge now.  That area used to be a ton of easy to access parking near the baseball field.  Now seems like its moved a lot of the parking over to the north side of the Ben Franklin Bridge.  Only took me ~30 minutes longer to get from last notes of MSG show to my home in PA side of Philly burbs Sunday than it did from Camden last night.
    Agree with others that band likely delayed start of show another 10-15 minutes given lines getting into parking lots, venue, and reserved sections.  Saw some people having hard time with the ticket/barcode checkers at the reserved section doors.  With the non-transferable "tickets" looked like some were getting hard time if the screenshots didn't look great.

    Last night was show 70 for me and was thrilled to get SOLAT for it. Hadn't seen the band since 2016 which is the longest I've gone without a show since I started going to shows. Crowd by me was great. I can't really jump as much anymore after some knee surgeries but was rocking out as hard as I could. Venue security was really helpful and friendly and kept bringing water out to the Pit as it got really hot down there. Wash Oceans were just tremendous as an opener and hearing HTI brought back memories of my first show at Camden in 98 when it was the first time I had ever heard that song and just going nuts on the lawn for it. Got a pick and high fived Mike and touched his guitar which was pretty cool. Kinda new they were going to play MFC for Matt Cord even if they didn't mention him because for years he was the backbone of playing PJ on Philly radio and that's his favorite song and he's friends with the band and it rocked. Seeing Mike go off on Eruption is always amazing. But that encore with Inside Job, SOLAT, Breath, Crazy Mary and Leash run was amazing and just reminded me why after following the band for years I still look forward to the next show I can go to because you never know what's going to happen and it's sure not to disappoint. Just a great, fun show and can't wait for the next one.

    That too is my understanding of the late start, sorry I missed seeing you (and your son!!!).  We took PATCO and had no issues but did see the traffic mess walking to the venue.  But damn, it was a late start for sure, making for a very late night.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go
  • What a show, loved the contrast between the MSG set and this, incredibly fortunate to go to both, each were all-time greats for me in their own way. I've been to Camden for other shows several times over the years, but never seen it that packed/that loud, and same with MSG, even with all the cell phones in the air, the band really looked like they were having a blast these past 2.

    Was at both MSG and Camden, and you cannot compare an indoor MSG experience to an amphitheater, there is no energy like MSG, and without a roof you are not going to get the same contained energy. That said, both were incredible shows in their own ways.

    As for Camden, this isn't early 2000 when they were playing there for the first time, yet traffic/access seems to be a surprise every time... if you look at a map there is clearly a river on one side of the venue, one bridge within a mile with two exits that feed directly into traffic lights and downtown Camden, one highway with only 2 exits that even remotely feed into the Waterfront, and almost no way to get close/quickly to the venue once traffic builds... if you park in a lot close to the venue, after the show you are likely 1) trapped in the lot, and 2) stuck in a LONG line of traffic to get back to the bridge or highway... the farther you park from the venue, the better you are set up for getting out... other than my first show there, I have parked on the street, about 5-6 blocks way (4th and Federal last night, $5.50 for the meter), never had a car break-in or problem, and always got in and out in 5-10 minutes.

    Also, my first time on the lawn since the 7/5/03 "early RITFW during July 4th Fireworks show" and the crowd was partying hard and fully charged throughout the show... it was a great time, and I am super thankful I get to see these guys play, and gladly will listen to whatever songs they choose to play... none of us are getting younger, and you never know what show will be the last...

    Anyone here have the sign that Ed was writing all over. He was kneeling on the floor near Stone writing all over it. Just wondering what he wrote if anyone here knows.

    That's the move, yeah. No issues for me in 20+ years.
