    MSG hype is real, if you've been on the floor when the building starts shaking, holy F! Philly spectrum show crowds were pretty stellar. Last night was my first Fenway/Boston show and it was another great crowd.
    News flash... Any building suspended in midair is going to bounce when 15k people are jumping in it. Its not because the building is in NY. 
    Truth... I felt the Xcel Center in St Paul shaking beneath us last year. 
    Exactly.  "The Garden" will bounce for Disney On Ice if everyone jumps around.  
    I thought only 3 bands had accomplished that back when PJ did it? 

    Or was that a lie?
    The hype is real...
    Good answer :wink:

    With all due respect....nothing ever tops a PHILADELPHIA PJ show.

    Fenway looked like a great time though.

    The only bigger myth is the MSG hype...

    You must live under a rock.  
    The philly circlejerk is just hilarious to me. Boston is a better city, Fenway is a more interesting venue, and the crowd was hype, as it is at every single PJ show. You can't convince me that Philly just produces inherently better shows than anywhere else. My second show ever was in the pit in Philly and it does not stand out as significantly better than most of the others I've been to.
    To be fair that was probably the least interesting Philly show

    That's your opinion. To me, the only shows I've been to that stand out as interesting (relative to other shows) from a setlist standpoint were Wrigley 2013, and Ft. Worth 2023 N1.

    But it doesn't because they don't. The first time it happened, the garden crew told them it had only happened once or twice before. It's just a special place for concerts and sporting events. No need to PP in anyone's cheerios but your own :)

    Really where arguing about what set list is the best from this tour 😂😂 it’s all about individuality! I’ve seen a bunch of shows and my favorite is the last one I got to enjoy with my daughter just the experience makes it my top show!

    I wasn’t at either Fenway but I’d have a hard time believing they topped Philly 1. I think it’s impossible to match that energy , especially in a ballpark. 
    Yeah, but … Philly. Ya know what I mean?

    I've been going to North America for shows for over 15 years and Philly 1 is the one of the loudest I think I've heard. Go to Latin America or Spain/Portugal though if you want an actual crowd where people don't stand there on facebook live or talking about fantasy football the entire show or babysitting their 2 kids. Crowds are pretty much all the same in the US of A and Canada but Philly 1 was a real stand out for sure.

    I also couldn't care if the ground is shaking, just play Get Right.

    Great list.  I still think the best MSG show is 9/11/98 and it’s not particularly close imo.
    "What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."
