I was in GA for night 1 and floor reserved seating for night 2.
I liked night 1 better. Ignoring where I was seated, I think I like the night 1 setlist more. From Ten, I like Why Go and Black more than Once and Jeremy. I also liked the number of Vs songs from night 1.
That said I enjoyed night 2. Anytime I can see Pearl Jam its a treat. I think this is the first concert where I've heard Once, which was very fun. McCready's solo (on Evenflow IIRC) with the guitar behind him was also a highlight. Purple Rain was definitely something that I was not expecting.
Was Jeff's shirt for Duluth's Low? If so, that was a nice touch.
I thought the band sounded great and energized both nights.
The lighting looked phenomenal both nights.

Wasn't "Unthought Known" also the song that was chosen off the request list that Ed handed to people at the front of the pit in Inglewood (L.A.) last year?
4th PJ show. Wasn’t at night 1. LOVED the show!! The crowd brought this show to the next level, it was an unreal experience. Everyone in the band sounded amazing. Setlist I thought was spectacular.
This pic is from when the crowd held up their flashlights before Ed returned to the stage to play Won’t Back Down. Super special moment, it was awesome.

I loved it. Eddie sounded great, the band was in synch and I felt the emotions in almost every song. Joy, frustration, regret, exuberance, in turn. I love Prince and Purple Rain so I thought that was a great closer. In Hiding was fantastic and Last Exit and Whoever Said were highlights for me.
Wow, it looks like you were right next to me. I was 101, row 5, on the aisle. You?
What a show! I thought N1 was good, but N2 blew it away. The band was on fire from start to finish. I’ve had some great times at PJ shows before, but this was honestly the most fun I’ve ever had at a PJ show. I was on the rail directly in front of Stone. The energy in the pit was out of this world. And Stone was probably the most animated I’ve ever seen him. That was one of the best main sets I’ve seen in a long time (the only main set in recent history that I think might have better was Camden). Off he goes is one of my all-times favorites, so it was great getting to see it from so close up. Mike’s guitar on NAIS was incendiary. Other highlights for me were last exit, brain damage into I am mine, severed hand, and in hiding. And although the encore was hit-heavy, they rocked the hell out of them and the crowd was wild. Such an incredible night! Plus I got a stone pic!

Hey Steven, so nice hanging out with you. I saw Stone hand you that pick - lucky. You did what I did - Mike's side night one, Stone's night two. But no Stone pick for me. Hope to hang out again soon.

Yeah I was 101 row 3 “window” seat; it was incredible. Sorry I did not get a chance to meet you. It was only my 3rd PJ show and first in 20 years, for various life reasons. I will make sure I get back to another one (or 4) as soon as I can. Great picture by the way!
What a night! First show in 5 years did not disappoint. Crowd was on fire the whole night. Ended up with much better seats after a fellow10c member offered to trade his other pair so his whole family could sit together. Closest I’ve ever been for a PJ show. Can’t wait for 2 more in Chicago this week!

Blew night 1 out of the water. Way better show. Had great flow, crowd was amped and the band sounded great. The main set was on fire. My first Nothing as it Seems!!!
Highlights: NAITS, Pendulum, Severed Hand, Last Exit, In Hiding, Got Some
Night two reeled me back in! Can’t wait for Indy next weekend.
Loved hearing Severed Hand again and that Brain Damage into I am Mine was next level. Loads of energy in the crowd & the band was on fire! Met some great people in MN this weekend, from all over the world! Some pics from my view 3 deep in front of Ed:
^^^^^^ check out his feet and how he's on-the-edge there ! Great goodies great capture! Thanks!
My 27th and 28th shows. Both were fantastic, but I'd give a slight edge to night 2 as I just feel In Hiding and Last Exit immediately make any setlist pop. So glad I made the trip to Minnesota!
Got some cool photos from N2. I was on Stone’s side this time. In Hiding was a treat for me. First time seeing it live. It almost made up for for Undone remaining undone I had a blast!

Show was on fire and caught two picks from Mike! Thanks to @aisleseats for the drop! Finally got NAIS. Always great to hear In Hiding. I Am Mine was great and Severed Hand a nice surprise. Lots of energy from the band. It was clear that they were on a mission to tear it up last night.
So happy for you! Glad I could help. I had a blast also. I was sitting next to Jill. We became fast friends. She's actually incredibly sweet and kind.

buddies and I were in GA on Mikes side about 7 rows back! Great energy, good vibes from all that were around.
The first set Off he goes, NAIS, daughter, , then the 3 string bangers of Evolution, Last Exit, ONCE was crazyyy! I was sweaty and blood pumping after those 3! I am mine was awesome.
In Hiding is what I told everyone pre-show I wanted to hear. I was going nuts!

I really enjoyed both nights. Night 2 I was in a great spot in GA and it did have a bit of a different feel. Unsure if it was because I was in GA or something else. Whatever that feel was made it just a bit better than N1. And while I loved them both, I did enjoy the setlist N2 a little bit more playing some songs I wanted to hear.
I actually enjoyed N1 seated set a decent bit more than N2, but I preferred the main set N2 quite a bit more and then the encore N2 a little more. Regardless, both still amazing shows for me.
My first visit to Minnesota and it didn't disappoint. Flew in Saturday and left yesterday and was able to make it a weekend of it with my wife and youngest son.
Highlight for me was Brain Damage into I am Mine. Loved Purple Rain - I really was expecting it after not on the setlist N1 and the location. They crushed it and it was good to hear something different than Baba or RITFW. My wife's favorite song is Unthought Known, so the added request made her happy.
Met someone who I've known online for over 20 years on another forum, but never met in person. It was good to hang out with him and his friends & family prior to the show. Had fun just shooting the shit.
Enjoyed meeting other fans during and after the show over the weekend. Seemed like a lot of out of towners stayed at the MoA. Good thing, because it was hot as hell over the weekend. You Minnesotans will probably be shoveling snow soon. Sorry for that.
If anyone has the pdf of the setlist, please PM it to me.
