    I can’t get enough of DTE!! I throughly enjoyed it both nights. 
    I always enjoy it.  It’s got fantastic energy and good crowd participation.  
    Agreed. Plus it’s the song that got me into the band!

    This might be not be a  popular opinion but the snoozer for me at shows was Wreckage. I went to 6 Dark Matter shows and it was played at all 6 shows. It is an ok song, but the crowd didn’t react to it much. I got tired of hearing it. I didn’t see Waiting for Stevie once. I wish they could have substituted it at least once.

    Sleight of Hand... killed energy... but I get the trilogy
    I think Sleight of Hand was personal favorite of the night. So glad I got to hear it night 1. Damn... four weeks ago today I started to make the drive to Pittsburgh. Can I go back in time... does anyone have a DeLorean?  
    Sleight of Hand was played at my very first show, Pittsburgh 2000, so it was absolutely fitting it was played at my 20th show in Pittsburgh as well. 

    When I first heard it live 25 years ago, it’s what really made me appreciate how excellent of a song it is.
    Its my favorite

    I agree. Wreckage of course is not a bad song but I felt it took the place of other DM tracks like Stevie, Got to Give and Won't Tell, which I enjoy more.

    Tonight N2 drops. 
    So many emotions around it. The show was an emotional roller-coaster for me. Elation when they finally played the song I requested, Insignificance; many tears during the wishlist tag, catharsis singing along to Hunger Strike, and pangs of bittersweetness when the show was over and with it - the tour.

    I think superfans seeing multiple shows need to take a step back and realize most people are seeing a band for either the first time, or low single digits.
    A coworker knows I like Pearl Jam and asked if I like, “Alive and Do The Evolution.”  DTE was super popular when it came out, the message lyrically resonates in 2024/25 and the visual element of the shows. 
    Wreckage is the most-streamed song off of Dark Matter.

    I saw Tom Petty a couple times and would have been disappointed if I didn’t see “the hits.”  Most fans in an arena or stadium aren’t seeing the band for the fifth or tenth plus time.

    I get what you are saying, but if you are playing two nights in the same city, maybe only play it one night.

    This is something I always try to remember when I get a more “pedestrian” PJ show, as we like to say. 

    I just saw the Sessanta tour a couple weeks ago and admittedly I don’t know much Primus or Puscifer, but there were only two or three A Perfect Circle songs I actually knew and one of those was cut pretty short to segue into another song I didn’t recognize. Enjoyable show, but not very memorable at all. I own zero Primus records or CDs but knew more of their stuff than APC, which is who I really wanted to see most.

    The only repeats I was disappointed in were from dark matter.  I love the album, I wanted to hear more off of it

    This whole show.
    It just gets to you. 
    I found myself bawling again during the Wishlist tag. I suspect not for the last time.

    What's up with the 2 guys talking over the final chorus in "Future Days"? I feel like it has been awhile since I've heard something like that on one of these boots. Bad luck I guess. At least it's not very long :)
