That was me back of GA screaming every word of the last 3 minutes of Setting Sun. Got some looks, sorry not sorry. Best 3 minutes PJ has written in 15 years

Absolutely agree.

Amazing night. Band and crowd were on fire the whole show. Eddie was very emotional throughout and especially the end when they walked off the stage. You can tell it meant a lot to the band being in their hometown and the performance reflected that too. 

Hurt was incredible.

Hurt was SO good.  Felt very special and definitely super emotional.  Had such a blast and need to meet up next time!  Hopefully see you on tour later this year bud!

First time attending an event at Climate Pledge Arena. Sat row 23 Floor and was surprised by how intimate the venue felt.
Fantastic show and really cool to hear about where everyone worked...Eddie razzing Stone about working at Gossard Hardware was a highlight.
Was at both Vancouver shows and the band seems to really be nailing the DM stuff now. First time hearing Black as an opener. Agree with comments on Hurt. Very emotional and a nice take by Eddie.
Was on the fence about an east coast show and this may have been the tipping point on finding a way out there.
Very grateful for such a wonderful experience.

Great show and setlist! Half of the time I was just standing there in awe since it was my very first pj concert. Felt a bit sad since I wanted to jump around in the pit, but the people around me were kinda standoffish.. and I’m super shy and didn’t want to get any more looks.. tried to speak to some but they just curtly responded and turned back around. Also - all the tall guys were in the front, probably first 10 rows of mostly tall people, so the stage wasn’t too visible. Regardless of that, still was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, purely based on music and how humble and salt of the earth this band is. Being in my early 20s, it was surreal as my first concert ever - long live PJ!

Amazing first show for you!!!  My wife and I were in the pit (dead center / 10 feet back) and I was jumping around like a lunatic (Citizen Dick t shirt)!!  Next time look for a guy wearing sunglasses losing his mind, and we will definitely talk to you!  I think your experience is not typical, usually the PJ tribe is super friendly and genuinely interested in making these special connections we all find ourselves making.

What a run for me (2x LV and 2x SEA) and every show was extremely special in their own way.  Last night was basically flawless for me, from the Black opener into a searing Immortality.  Other highlights were In My Tree (ALWAYS a highlight for me), Come Back, LBC, Hurt, Pilate, Jeremy (same thing / always love it) and as always, the new stuff really rules live.  And again, Deep Sea Diver slayed.  Really love them.  Thank you PJ!  See you guys in the pit on the east coast in Sept!

That’s so sweet! Damn I wish I saw ya! I was short so I couldn’t see much! Which shows are you seeing in the east coast? I flew in from New York for Seattle N2

Good stuff!  For the next US leg I’ve got Chi x2, NYx2, Philly x2, Baltimore and Boston x2. Oh and probably Ohana.  If you are up for traveling again, def come to Ohana.  It’s unreal.

That’s so cool! I actually was gonna go to ohana first and then had to cancel the layaway plan, all the hotels were booked and I got scared traveling so far by myself as a young female. Wish I could’ve gone though!

This New Yorker had an amazing 3 days in Seattle, 2 great shows, the band was on fire.  Loved chatting with fans throughout the trip, especially the NY / Chicago women N1 in 101 with us and the California couple N2 in 113.  Can't wait for the East Coast run !

I’m jealous! Hopefully I get to meet ya in east coast run!

I can't overstate how much I enjoyed them. I saw all ten of their sets and it never got old. Great songs, great performance, fun to watch.

I've been to some of their most notable shows and I put this one right up there with them. I'm still riding the wave a few days later. Starting with Black was great--the surprise of it, the lighting, the walk on stage, the song itself. Set the tone for a special night, and it felt special, if not a bit wistful and reflective from time to time. It was a home show and I could relate to some of Ed's comments, talking about the area, the losses, the changes and all. The new Dark Matter material fit in great--remarkably so, like a glove, b/w some of the old standards. Several special crowd interaction moments throughout the show. The crowd was great--fun to see so many different PJ shirts out there. I hope they come back soon and wish them all well.

Could not agree more.  Really love them.

Deep Sea Diver got me hooked in Texas last year… great sound/ energy

So glad to hear I'm not alone on how of a great show it was.  I'm late to hitting as many shows as possible but working hard to catch up.  This was my 6th show (1st time in Seattle - bucket list!) and thought it was the best so far.  Hitting 5 more on the 2nd US leg this fall (both Wrigley, MSG 1 and both Fenway) and can't wait to soak in even more of the PJ experience.  Fenway will be my first time(s) in the pit (both nights) and being from the Boston area, I couldn't ask for more.  Well, maybe for them to play SBWM....haven't heard that live yet and would love to.

I ordered the Impossible Weight CD from their Bandcamp site and I'm very excited that it arrived today.

Seattle N2 title: A Surge of Emotion
I briefly saw Leah Julius (Thunderpussy's bassist) at the KEXP pre-party. Then the rest of the band while standing in the queue outside Entry 10. Also, Tom Morello took a picture of the Entry 10 queue together with the big Dark Matter banner. A quite emotional set: I had goosebumps during Inside Job, and the "We done all we can do" part of Something Special

PJNB

Emotional set for sure. You could see Eddie throughout the whole show go through a wave of emotions. After Setting Sun he shook the other band members hands and you could see it all over his face this was a heavy show for him.

I’m late on this but thank you Seattle for a great time. It was my 14th show, first time in Seattle. Flew out from Philly with my cousin, kind of last minute. We flew in the night before the show and left the morning after (kids and jobs) but had a blast. Met so many great people and had a great time talking to them. Amazing show, great venue, GREAT crowd, just a fantastic time. I will definitely be back for a longer visit to Seattle, but just wanted to say thanks to the best band and the best fans for an awesome time.

Sorry for being tall and showing up early?

Lol if that was what you got from all of that, cool? I was actually there early, and I didn’t mention it saying it’s bad being tall, just that it sucked for me being a short girl..  I tried to move around but most of the tall folk wouldn’t budge or let me through.. but with that comment I’m guessing you were there? Regardless of visibility, we can both agree it was an amazing show ❤️

May 30 - Hometown Show

Leading up to “Love Boat Captain”, Ed says “we can never take this for granted”. These words act as a catalyst for the night, as the guys recount their pre-PJ lives and honor the friends they lost this year. All this culminates in the encore’s marvelous debut of Nine Inch Nails’s “Hurt”. Altering its lyrics, Eddie sings “I will wear this Crown of Thornes” in the style of Johnny Cash. For the final time this year, the band closes with “Setting Sun”.
