    Looks like I have an extra Vancouver night 2 ticket available. Reserved floor, row 19. I can’t do TM f2f due to not having a Canada bank acct. DM me if interested.

    Solid show. First tour performance of most dark matter tracks. Some comedic moments when Ed forgets the lyrics, and forgets what song is next. Great Gord Downie tribute. Mike falls off the stage but finishes the show. And first look at the backdrop and stage. Rest up for night 2.

    When is the bootleg available for shows? I remember in Aus it was ready after the show

    That was an AMAZING show. What a way to start the tour. 

    Which two members of the band do you think are running the marathon this morning?

    Also, Alabama guy ( @jjflash ?) - Granville Island is where I was saying you should check out today. It's not actually an island, you can walk there from downtown or take the aquabus. Lots of food and shops and things to wander around. Great donuts at Lee's (but always a big lineup now because Seth Rogan featured it on a Netflix show awhile ago.)

    My guess is Matt and Mike are running it
  • julieferjuliefer New Westminster, BC Posts: 397
    I was thinking Mike too, but also the whole band is so fit that it seems like it could be almost any of them.

    We have a cat situation that is requiring my wife to have to drive back tomorrow (Sun). If anyone is going to Seattle on Tues and has room, I will pay for gas and meal stop along the way. Can also offer up an unopened 2018 Home Shows PJ sixpack still in original packaging.

    Posting section 105 row 5 aisle seats right now. Great seats, but I had two and now a group of 6 of us are going together in side stage seats.
    Hopefully one of you can use the upgrade like I did. Monday's show obviously

    There are also two daily Amtrak trains, for like $40 one way i think. Fun way to go, leaves from the downtown station right by Main Street skytrain (and Science World, the big silver ball).

    That night 2 shirt is something, unfortunately I was only able to do night 1. I'm on my way back to the far north, should be home tonight. It was great seeing some familiar faces outside the Rogers place. Hope to see some of you again later this summer, I'll be doing night 1 or Wrigley.  Im still not over Mike's solo during corduroy.

    In case the weekend wasn’t packed enough for you another great Vancouver show just got announced for the Sunday in between the 2 PJ shows. One of the best Canadian bands of the last 30 years in my humble opinion, Limblifter plays a really unique venue called Green Auto in East Van. 
    Did anybody make it to the Limblifter show last night? I saw one N1 tour shirt in there. What a treat that was! It was like a house party with a band who is on the radio daily playing in the living room. Such a great little underground venue. Amazing that they played there.

    Vancouver is a bucket list location for my wife and I, we’re really excited to be there.  Is there things outside of the city that are must see like hikes or something, or should we just focus our attention on in city things?
    Ekwipt has added an accurate overview of things above. Lots of great inexpensive dining options also.Depends of course how many days you are visiting for but one way to see a lot in hurry is a float plane scenic tour. The setting where they depart alone from is nothing short of spectacular. Coal Harbour, north shore mountains, Stanley Park(ringed by the Seawall 8ish km walk/bike) even  if you don't fly. We're local but still splurged for a flight for my wife's 50th. Check out Harbour Air and 20-35 minutes doesn't sound like a lot but you'll never forget the scenery just need a sunny day. Looks like about the price of a PJ ticket/person with several options.

    I just cheated and bumped this one from Feb. 23 or so. In case you're  looking for something to do today besides the merch lineup.I feel like saying to sorry about the rain to those that have chosen to visit Vancouver for the shows. Trust me it beats the hell out of heat and wildfire smoke! If it's any consolation we really need the rain all over this province. Enjoy tonight's show!!

    I kind of botched a bit of the above when I did the quote thing, Anyway Pacific Spirit Park, Spanish Banks, Wreck Beach, which are  all adjacent to the UBC Campus are all amazing if you've got any time left in your itinerary.

    Who else is still getting goosebumps from the Wash opener on Saturday? ✋ 
    Can’t stop rewatching it. 
  • ManOfTheHour75ManOfTheHour75 Posts: 339
    Wash to open and then Setting Sun to close it out was incredible. So many highlights but those two songs really stick out for me.
