Now that leg one is in the books and we've heard all of the songs live, which are your favorites? I love React, Respond, Upper hand, and Waiting for Stevie

"Running" delivered every time. So did "Scared of Fear" and "React, Respond." The live performances of "React, Respond" elevated that song in my eyes compared to how I felt about it on the record. I liked it on the record, but I loved it live. "Got to Give" was great the one time they played it, and it's my favorite song on the album. "Won't Tell" is my second-favorite, but it was a little wobbly live. "Dark Matter" was solid every time, and the crowd seemed to always be into it. "Upper Hand" was also consistently great.
To be honest, I really enjoyed all of the Dark Matter tracks live. I'm picking nits to say this one was better on the record or that one was a little wobbly live. I never got tired of hearing these songs. Every night when "Scared of Fear" started (except for the one show where they skipped it), I felt a jolt of electricity. Many nights, depending on what the opening "oldies" block consisted of, "Scared of Fear" was where the show really started for me.

Same. Wreckage and Running, too. They're all just so damn good.
It’s true. There wasn’t one song from the new album that disappointed me.

I won’t see them until the east coast leg, but they all sound great. Impressed with how well react, respond and running have translated as I thought those could be ones they would stumble through, but they’re nailing it. Can’t really pick a favorite, but I’d say Won’t tell is probably the weakest of the dark matter album song performances. I do like the song though.
