Hopped Up

Incredible night. First show I got to see this tour. Took my older sister to her first PJ show and my 51st. Just awesome energy from all the guys - even Stone was grooving and smiling! Loved hearing Long Road to start, always takes me back to Va Beach 2000. Thin Air was nice even with some botched lyrics. Whoever Said sounded great. And River Cross was powerful. Faithfull/Lukin/RVM to end set was tremendous. Baba with Thunderpussy dancing around was great fun. Just an amazing experience. My sister got a glimpse of why I’ve spent a lot of the last 25 years following the band. Don’t need 3 hour shows when they’re so good and play so well for 2.5. We’re all getting older but they just get better as a band.

Just back from the show, epic night, as usual for the band. I want to thank Ed for mentioning, Jen from Sandy Hook, and gun violence. I have never mentioned this publicly, but at the time of the Columbine shooting, I worked with shooter Dylan Klebold's older brother. I won't say much beyond that, as I respect his privacy, and in my opinion, he is a victim of his brothers madness also. That said, fuck Alex Jones, and I hope Jen and the other Sandy Hook families get as much as they can out of that asshole. The killing needs to stop. These kids should never have to live through this shit. Anyways, thanks to the band for making show number 6 an awesome one, love you all. Can't wait for what's next. Peace til next time!9

Long road.

Is this the first Just Breathe sighting from this leg?

Great looking set. Sad it's over.  Hoping they are out on the road again next spring/summer

incredible show. Eddie and the band sounded great. Long Road, River Cross, Present Tense, Faithful, whoever said, Save you were all highlights. RVM was next level.  Can’t believe these guys still sound just as great after all these years. Thanks PJ for never disappointing !!

Great night. Awesome way to finish the tour. So glad we made the trip. I don’t even know what the highlight was for me, I’m just happy. 

Shout out to section 122 which brought plenty of enthusiasm.

And, yeah, fuck Alex Jones. And Putin.

Back story: my work involves the death penalty, and litigating in advance of executions. For the past 15 years, when an execution has gone forward, I take a quiet moment of reflection to listen to Indifference. The lyrics give me comfort and quiet inspiration in a time of darkness. And when an execution doesn't go forward as scheduled, I listen to Alive. Because...obviously. 

So, last night, the State of Alabama was supposed to execute, after SCOTUS vacated a stay of execution. Alabama tried, but failed for reasons yet to be uncovered. The warrant expired at midnight Central time, and Mr. Miller is still alive. And right around 10 minutes after that, the band played....Alive. I didn't know it at the time, so the song had a tinge of irony and melancholy for me last night in the moment. But this morning, putting this all together and running the timeline, I'm in tears and shook. Thank you, gentlemen. Your music means so much more than you can ever know, to so many of us, for so many different reasons. 

It was so great meeting so many new people in the GA line yesterday, and the energy from the show was incredible. The set list was so good, and Alive at that exact moment was just a massive cherry on top for me. Thank you all, much love, today is an amazing day.

That's  some heavy stuff

Lost Logs

Thanks for posting this. It was my first show in 13 years and the best one I can remember. They sounded incredible and the fans around us were all lovely. 

Does anyone remember which Mad Season song Josh and Mike played?

The intersection between amazing songs, crazy strong lyrics & meaning, the passion and energy of the audience, and the way the band brings real world real issues into the room for the shows makes for the best live band with such a long relevant powerful career... Thank you PJ! (I wasn't at the show, just reading all your comments though made me all emo!)

^^^ Nutshell by Alice in Chains.   The Plutalone set was off the hook! Stone and Josh doing Buttercup was amazing and then to have the entire band except Ed on stage to play the Pluralone great track Offend… what a treat for the fans. 

The band brought it last night, MM was particularly on fire.  That solo on Evenflow was face melting. EV’s challenge? Accepted! 😎

I’d just like to say, the crowd was amazing, can’t wait to hear the boot. You could tell the boys appreciated it and dug deep to end this tour with a bang. I just highly doubt many other bands touring after 30 years bring that much energy to the stage.  

Can’t wait to hear what’s coming in 2023!

This was my 14th PJ show and honestly can't remember Eddie or the band sounding better. AWESOME energy from them and crowd the entire show. Long Road as an opener always kills and set a perfect tone for the night. The setlist was money and there were really no dead spots, though admittedly I've never been a huge fan of Last Kiss...glad they played it to the back of the arena   

Lights were on from Alive through Baba and YL.  The last 15 minutes just felt like a big celebration after waiting for this rescheduled show. The band got a very long (and well-deserved) ovation at the end of the show as the boys took their bows for what I think is one of the best shows I've seen. Thanks to them and for all the great PJ fans who came out!

My wife’s first PJ show.  With kids it never worked out with us seeing them together so this one was extra special.  She was stunned by the performance and the crowd.  

--great, great crowd.  I always get the feeling that they notice when a place is mostly full for Josh or anyone else and it filled up early.  

—Crown of Thorns into Alive is some meaningful stuff.  

--Ed mentioned that they should play Red Rocks again one day, but said it’s definitely their last show “for the foreseeable future”

—I don’t ever chase rare ones.  I could hear a show of radio singles for all I care but it was nice to hear Thin Air and MLB.

—Loved the little Chris Cornell mention.

—-They seemed taken aback by the cheering after Ledbetter.  That was really cool.  I don’t remember them standing around and taking it all in like that at any of the shows I’ve ever been to. 

Anyone know what song played after the show ended and they started taking the gear down?  

--The guy next to us was older.  Saw Zeppelin and the Stones, and everyone else in their primes and seeing PJ for the first time.  At the end he shook my hand and said “I’m gonna sleep on it but that might actually be the best concert I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Thank you, PJ, for yesterday.  That was so meaningful in many ways.

Had a Ball at last nights show.

Thanks PJ for giving us your all.

I was already elevating because of the Long Road opening and the Interstellar intro as well as Faithfull, but I had no idea that we were in the kind of hallowed space where Chloe/Crown might be played. Almost felt out of bodyish, like no one else was even in the building. Super great night full of magic. I agree with the comment that the band felt some significance to the evening as well, it's rewarding to see that it's meaningful and cathartic for them too. 1000% down with all of the messages Ed shared as well, another big reason why I'm bound to this band. Will be riding the buzz from last night for a good while.

Someone was saying on a FB page that during the show Ed referenced Mike leaving the band... any truth?

Ugh.  Bummer to hear this and obviously things can change but this is discouraging.

I think that guy just wants attention. Ed said something like Mike will go crazy on this next one (Even Flow) because it would be their last show for the foreseeable future. That's it.

If it’s on Facebook then it must be true. Eddie never said anything close to that
