    My section at the back of the floor was a little quiet, so it was hard to get a good read - am I the only one who lost my mind during Do the Evolution?!? It was such a perfect use of this huge screen, I was totally blown away. So glad they remembered that awesome video and put it to good use.

    Whole show was amazing. Eddie’s voice sounded incredible - not just well-rested, but like he had been practicing his technique. He had a vibrato that I haven’t heard in years. The new songs sounded incredible! I have loved everything on the album except for Dark Matter and seeing it live made it click - it was raunchy and heavy and super fun live.

    Overall I loved the screen and the visuals, it definitely felt more polished than a typical PJ show but they used it in such a way to make you feel closer to the band and music. For example, the projector bit - it was so silly but so endearing!

    Perfect show. Can’t wait for Monday!

    After a slow start, I got what I wanted: Dark Matter, and nearly all of it. Those nine songs were just fantastic, and we know the other two are coming soon, maybe as soon as Monday. And no "Even Flow"! (For only the twelfth time in my 71 shows.)

    When they went into "Rockin' in the Free World," I thought for sure that was going to be the closer. I started to move from my seat in the second row behind the pit to watch them close out the show from up top but, as I passed the soundboard, I caught a glimpse of the set list and saw "Y-Led" and then "Setting Sun." I did a quick 180 and was back by my seat before the lyrics to "Rockin'" had even started. What a fantastic unexpected surprise to end the show the way they did.

    The use of the screens was strange. The first four songs were played almost in silhouette against the bright white screen. Then there were colorful effects kind of like the visualizers for the Dark Matter tracks. Some songs had no images accompanying them. "Do the Evolution" had images from the Todd McFarlane video spliced with images of the band. Some songs just had images of the band. One song had an image that looked like the sun in total eclipse. "Setting Sun" had images of the surface of the Sun.

    Ed's message-writing between the main set and the encore was mostly about hockey. He gave a shout-out to Canucks coach Rick Tocchet but spelled his name Tocket.

    Looking forward to being on a rail Monday night-- not "the rail," but "a rail": Row 1 behind GA.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Am I right in saying Ed didn’t play on any of the new songs? Just the into to upper hand before the song properly starts ?

    That screen is such a waste imo. I wasn’t there but I can’t imagine any situation where I would prefer a screen to selling the entire back to fans. Weird move

    It was totally fine. It really didn't detract from the show at all. I get what you mean about mire tickets, but hey, they obviously wanted a change. It can get pretty lame to always do the same thing year after year.

    I just watched some videos and I think it’s pointless honestly. Theres nothing like having fans singing and losing their minds as the backdrop. This kind of “tech” doesn’t belong at a PJ show imo. It’s not great or revolutionary , maybe in bigger stadium shows? But arenas? I really hope they ditch it by September.

    Looks amazing. Wonder when the last time they had the balls to close a show with something off a new album.

    With all due respect, I do. We’re here to discuss the shows. This is new for them and seems unnecessary to me. I’m in the northeast where it’s impossible to get tickets and to see that whole back blocked off by a screen is insane to me.
