    Porch was on the set list for after Yellow Wing…now that would have been epic!

    That was ridiculous. So great to have that band on stage for almost 3 hours again. They really were trying to make it special.

    Edit: omg if they played Porch after Little Wing….

    Holy Shit!

    That's really the best way to describe what I just witnessed. Just a fantastic show from start to finish. So many of my fav songs were played. That was the best version of Betterman that I think I ever heard... 
    ... and Hunger Strike???

    Plus, this was pushing 3 hours. When's the last time that happened?

    I'm done, but too pumped to go to sleep!!!

    i think Porch is listed as an alternate. Great show. It gets hate but Future Days was our wedding song so me and my wife were happy. Hungerstrike was fantastic. The way EV was talking it sounds like they might be going on a long break.

    Future days and hunger strike melted my brain. Two incredibly charged emotional songs for me.

    So happy I came. 

    I hope it's not too long until the next one.

    Be well community. Hope to see all the new friends I made this weekend soon! (Tho it sounds like it may be a little while - I still say toronto!!!!)

    Great tour. Great finish. Hunger strike made my legs weak. I couldn’t believe it.
    In a way you could tell they were happy to be done for a while, but at the same time being very grateful for what they have and do. 
    They brought it tonight and gave us nearly 3 hours of music! Absolutely fantastic.
