    Nashville 1
    Atlanta 1
    Raleigh 2
    Pitt 2

    That is a crud summary, but those come out at the top to me. And I only was at 4 of those shows listed and for the record was not at Philly 1.
    His eminence has yet to show.

    I'm bias towards Pittsburgh Night 1 as I was just there and it was amazing. But if I could have picked any show to have been at it, it would be Philly Night 1. That setlist was killer and probably the best show of the tour. But Pittsburgh was very special.

    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    Only did both Fenways and Hollywood 2

    Fenway 2 was easily the best of the 3.  I'd say Fenway 1 and Hollywood 2 were fairly equal. Both had songs that I really enjoy. As PJNB said, they do sort of blend together at this point with the similar structure of setlists.  

    I'll say, I took my 19 year old daughter to Fenway 1 and my 19 year old son to Hollywood 2. First PJ show for both of them and they had a an absolute blast.  Looking forward to doing it again next time around.

    Only went to 4 shows.

    1) Philly 1 (great setlist and unreal energy)
    2) Atlanta N1 (slight edge here due to being in GA and finally getting Can’t Keep and Deep!)
    3) Atlanta N2 (setlist was great, Black was huge, as was the entire encore. But Setting Sun scratched?)
    4) Philly 2 (great show, but I was in a lackluster section and just tough to top night 1)

    Wish I had made it to Raleigh N1 and the Pitt shows. Those looked amazing.
