Great show. Crowd seemed really into it, including most people around me near the top of section 105. Solid combo of a strong setlist and good Eddie stories/tributes. It is hard to pick out many highlights because there were so many and I would end up listing damn near the entire setlist, but I particularly liked opening with Release > Present Tense > Given to Fly and then Hold On and everything that followed. Severed Hand was great - they need to play that song a lot more. The encore songs before they got to the standard closing - Smile, Satan’s Bed, and Unthought Known - were also a treat.
It was my 25th show and I took a friend who has seen them a few times, but not since 2018. Overall he enjoyed it a great deal, although he happened to comment on a few songs that he didn’t like, all of which are on Dark Matter. I like the album, but think a couple songs are getting a bit stale, particularly given that there are some good songs on the album that they aren’t playing much. Oh well, I remember thinking the same thing on the 2000 and 2003 tours and now definitely wish they played more from that era.
Sadly this is the only show of the year I will get to, but it was wonderful.
Row A in the Club Level. Great seats, good people and a great show. I am a big Smile and Light Years fan. I loved every second of it and I am going to do everything I can to go tomorrow.

There was some other "Hold On" that was played as a Daughter tag a few times, but not the Hold On from Lost Dogs. (Vs. era b-side I believe)

What a great show! Amazing energy from the band, felt lucky to have GA...felt lucky to be by the people my daughter and I were near in the pit as they were all super nice...and then felt super lucky to experience that setlist and power from the band.

GREAT set. Was not expecting Release to open and PT as a second is always a winner. A good mix of "radio hits" and traveler favorites.
Upper Hand, Severed Hand, and Unthought Known are some of the best. Love those songs live.
Hold On?! Holy shit did not expect that in Raleigh.
It seems I have experienced Jeremy 100 times but I feel like this was the best version I have ever seen. Not sure if it was the playing, the crowd interaction, or maybe both, but it was excellent.
My only negative was, compared to Atlanta a couple weeks ago or Vegas last year, the crowd was more subdued (except for when Jeremy kicked in). A lot of people in our section clearly there for the radio hits (sucks to be them as they are really missing out).
