    What a fun night. Alive was epic. It was fun watching Josh do his thing on Setting Sun, and with Chad Smith who was hanging with him during RITFW. Chad was side stage for a bunch of songs. Comatose, Untitled, MFC, All Those Yesterdays, Smile, wow. I don't mind the audible on the opener. Everyone has to deal with loss, and I definitely took a moment to think of family we've lost recently. I love the new songs, and I'm happy to hear any of them. 

    Night 2 tops Night 1 for me - really great meeting folks on Stone's side of GA on Night 2. Night 1 we had a run in with an absolute knucklehead in GA, and it really soured our mood for a few songs. So glad I stayed for Night 2.

    5 shows in 10 nights. Long weekend timed perfectly. See ya at Ohana.

    Just incredible. Again. "Comatose"!!! I nearly lost my mind. I am going to be hurting tomorrow. Screaming along to the ending of "Jeremy" with Ed practically hovering above my head. "Rockin' in the Free World" with fourteen people on stage, including Chad Smith, Andrew Watt and all of Deep Sea Diver.
    So, so jealous about Comatose. Hope it might still make an appearance in Seattle but not holding my breath now.

    Wondering how many DM songs will be played by the time the east coast leg shows are up. Gigaton phased out to 2-3 by the second leg, but it wasn’t as good as DM… 

    Don’t see anyone complaining about Never Destination getting scratched. 
    I would really like to hear it live, personally.

    Not many people like Never Destination, so no love lost.
    lol...nice that you have your finger on the pulse of everyone
    Yep, he and Vito state opinions in the form of fact, then crutch on merely “just my opinion” when they get called out for popping off. Love the ignorance.

    I'd rather have heard it than "Do the Evolution" yet again, although I'll take it if it was the price for swapping out "Better Man" for "Jeremy," which was a highlight.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Wasn’t there but did DOTC kill the whole vibe? I’m guessing sensed it and made that audible to bring some life back? 
    No, it did not.

    At least in my section DOTC didn't kill the vibe, it was recieved pretty much as enthusiastically as the Dark Matter material in terms of the non-big hits which seemed pretty good

    There had to be a reason EV chose something that’s a crowd pleaser after it and make that switch.

    Whatever reason for the change, I don't know about DOTC being the reason or not however I do know it got a decent reception in section 225!

    I liked when Eddie said that Stone would be playing bass "for the second time tonight" on "Smile," with the implied first time being "Dance of the Clairvoyants." I like seeing Stone play that distorted riff.

    Hot take. I might agree with you there. Both songs are great.

    I went to both nights, LA-1 and LA-2.  I'm posting this in both fanview threads. It's funny that my N2 seat was right behind my N1 seat. Technically, the sound was off-sounding on N2. Fuzzier, less bass, less punch. It wasn't the same. The crowds, both nights, were amazing. Totally pumped, not the passive crowds LA is known for which I've experiences and see others complain about. The band, both nights, was amazing, totally pumped and nailing it. Across the two nights, I got several songs I always wanted to see but never had. Like SOLAT, In my tree, All those yesterdays for example. The new album stuff was great!
    I am so done with Baba and RITFW. Especially the latter. The band and guests plus the front 1/4th of the floor looked like they were having fun. For me, up the side on Stone's side, it was more like being a parent watching kids and their friends at a backyard birthday party on a portable jumper/bouncer. They could have fit 3 songs in that slot. Like Rats, Got to give and In hiding. Aside the RITFW comment, really well done and a wonderful two nights.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    I had a lil edible non thc 😉 micro or slightly more for last night…. It really enhanced things, was on the rail and the after glow today is amazing

    i I knew DOTC was coming, smoke machine was all in my face 🤣🤣 it rocked for me, thought I was in Ibiza or some other planet for a minute

    The fungi really is amazing, great mindset if taken responsibly 

    missed Ed pouring wine by a few people

    got a bacon wrapped dog outside, some bootleg stuff

    sad my four show run is over, but September will be here before you know it… enjoy Napa & Seattle, only if time & money were infinite 😬

    But I'd take Never Destination a la Ohana Encore day 1, all day every day any time- just me, but pretty sure  I'm not the only one...
