Other than that, Just Breathe and Song of Good Hope do sort of suck some energy out of the set, otherwise, excellent show!

Oh Dude!
But very quickly it became a a pretty standard setlist for this tour with casual fan favorites "Jeremy" "Corduroy " "Betterman" and "RVM".
Thank god for the fan request of "Blood" and Mike's full star-Spangled Banner tag onto Yellow Ledbetter ; otherwise there were no surprises .
"Blood" was ferocious!
I realize RITFW gives Ed the time to circulate all the tambourines, but it's Needs to be retired. Fucking Up would be a nice replacement .
A quick sidenote, Ed's vocals upfront work crystal clear and Mike's guitar was super loud. Which is a good thing. Matt's drums seemed a bit muddled in the sound mix. I'm hoping they get that better night number two.

Am I crazy or did they skip the best part of Do the Evolution with Stone's guitar riff? I feel like we went right to the choir? Or did I just totally space out? Haha. Anyway it was a very great setlist marred only by the sound - having seen them at MSG I think it isn't the band's fault. But they sounded so tight and powerful and energetic at MSG and from where I sat tonight it didn't come across that way -Im sure they were playing great, but the sound difference of an arena vs a stadium was hard to get over. It did somehow send better to me on the encore - maybe my ears got used to it? I loved the encore set and Blood was a fun surprise though I would have liked Never Destination too!
I also loved getting Something Special, it's one of my favorites on the album.

Our tweet-sized take was: good show, but some of the people around us were awful. A lot of people were really, really drunk well before the band took the stage. And it’s hard to say how the sound was thanks to the two drunk dorks who loudly regaled each other with their wits The. Whole. Time. So, 👋 if you and your bud were in field box 22, shouting and shit-talking for 2.5 hours straight, you might want to tone it down tomorrow night (they told everyone they’ll be back); the very large man sitting next to you spent the show resisting the urge to stomp you both, and I doubt that many people have his patience and forbearance.

Sound on the field is tremendous. We were over in B7. Great view and sound. Hoping to get back tomorrow night.
First my own fuck up: had no idea they were going to go on before 8! I missed the opener in the bathroom, oh well!
ed sounded a little tipsy early and it let to some really enjoyable exchanges and stories (especially with cow man saying he was surprised he hadn’t been turned into hamburger by now and him telling a long meandering story about his childhood tree climbing only to come on after In my tree to say “oh yeah, I forgot the whole point of that story. The tree was called the green monster” lol). Love in my tree live btw.
I don’t think we will hear a ton of the new album again. They are fine but not memorable live to me. Ironically wreckage was the new one I enjoyed the most.
Momentum was great going into RVM and then they stopped awkwardly to check on the crowd. Honestly they should have just gone to encore right there since it was a reasonable place to stop the song. Starting it up for the last 30 seconds was … eh… we all just stood around. Then another interruption in just breathe.
I enjoy the slow encore starts and liked song of good hope. It would be cooler though if it was slow full band starts (hard to imagine or parting ways starts etc would be lovely). The transition from folksy sit down to blood was jarring though . Encore in general felt up and down. Energy then went all the way back down to zero for setting sun and ramped all the way back up for SOLAT. That combined with the stoppages and encore break made the second half of the show feel a little whiplashy.
great first half. Ok second half. Very good show but not epic. See y’all next tour!
