Anyone get any picks?

Chris and I were sold just with Oceans and Present Tense opening... Then we got Deep, Leatherman, and of course, Footsteps. And the crowd in/around the front of 117 was so uplifting. I loved every second of the show, especially the crowd's energy.

My likely unpopular opinion…corduroy should be played at every concert. Can replace even flow

Agreed. 

I’d even love switching up the placement of songs like even flow alive and corduroy. Even flow would work in Alives spot. I always thought coming out of mikes solo the buildup to that final chorus would be perfect to turn the house lights on. Alive ending  main set would be awesome. 

Change is good, for sure. Indifference to open in StP back in ‘23 was awesome, but otoh, F’ing Up pre-encore at Fenway last year made me nervous that they were ending the show early. 🤣

I loved the show. i thought the energy of Ed and the band was electric. Ed’s voice was so crisp and on!!! Although i had hoped to hear a few other songs, I thought the setlist was perfect given the location of the venue.. the sound in the hard rock ( where we were -303) was perfect.  
agree with the comments about people talking as a loudmouth behind us talked nonstop… but i was so busy singing at the top on my lungs and dancing that i stopped paying attention to them!  yes lots were seated, but to each their own, as long as they enjoy the show and don’t tell me to sit down then im good ( would love to have them join in but you can’t force it)

i will be heading to 2 more shows on this tour, looking forward to each setlist, and to the absolute high i get just being in the same room with PJ.. hope to see you there!

Not the set I would have expected for a venue as small as this one but still had a great time. Hoping they bring it even more tonight!

I had a different experience. Not to be a party pooper but I thought the crowd was bleh. Most of the 200s and 300s sitting. My section, 117 towards the back, didn’t move…at all. In fact there were ROWS of people who left in the middle of Porch. Everyone talking during songs…ugh. Also, maybe because I was under the overhang, but the sound was muddy to me. Mind you I was off to the side of the venue but still. Not my ideal setlist either. It’s pretty amazing how people at the same show can have different experiences.

That said, Ed sounded great. Definitely noticed the small new differences in production. Amongst the Waves, Footsteps, Crazy Mary, Baba, and Setting Sun were my highlights. That was such a good version of Footsteps. I absolutely loved SS last night too, that was a pretty heavy second half of the song. Really looking forward to Saturday in GA. 

I was down in GA which always feels like high energy from a crowd perspective (hail hail the lucky ones!) and Thurs. was no different. I hear you on the "seated" crowd - lots of talk of folks sitting, to each his own I suppose but that is lame.  My wife and her friend were in 117 too. I know they were up and jumping around (at least that's what they told me, but I find out they were sitting there will be hell to pay!)

Anyway, loved the show!  Probably the best version of Corduroy I've heard in 10 years (although Boston 2 last year was a proper version and amazing, but Saturday's rocked a little harder and just stratospheric for me).  Crazy Mary really hit me too and the rest of the set very, very solid.  Amazing room and loved seeing Setting Sun in the final spot again, but I don't need that every show necessarily (the more and more I listen to that tune, it's really one of their best examples of nearly perfect songwriting - and it only gets better).  Other highlights for me were Oceans (always a highlight when you get it), Deep, Down, FOOTSTEPS, Won't Tell and the Lukin sing-along part from the pit crushed. Loved the venue and our little post-show circle bar PJ sing-along crew (until nearly 2 am...) was PEAK tour fam memories @apkirkland @Sugarloafer04 / let's run this back!

PS - if anyone has a spare pair for tonight, please hit up @apkirkland!

Section 205 was rocking on Thursday night! Plus the post show circle bar sing along was an absolute blast! 

Let’s do it again tonight!

Gah! Thank you for looking out for us, buddy! I just wrote up a long fanview for Thursday's show but then it disappeared when I went to obsessively check TM, FB, the Porch, and all the other places I'm scouring to try to find tix to tonight's show. Once I can concentrate, I'll pop back on here and write about our (amazing) experience at the incredible Hard Rock venue. But, for now, the hunt for tix to tonight's show continues. Appreciate everyone who's looking out for us right now!
