    Disagree. The first night seems to be the "greatest hits" show while the second show gets deeper cuts.
    2006- Boston I
    2008- Boston I+II
    2009- Toronto, Philly III+IV
    2010- Bristow, Hartford, Boston, Newark

    I dnt get it. They play 2 shows in the same city, you go to both shows. Pj never repeat a show so how would u know which one to go to???? You go to both. And dnt tell me it's impossible because my gf and I went to all 4 phili shows and we only had tickets to 3 of them. Nothings impossible and there's enough kick ass members who willhelp if need be.

    Cause a.) many fan's get struck out with 10club ticket's & nazi ticket distruber's like Tickermaster & their sister stations & b.) they work on a Thursday/Friday (when the MSG show's are going down). But it's only a 2 month prep, gives you enough time to tell your boss for some time off & time to tell your grandparents or next door neighbour to take care of the kids when you're gone to see PJ. ;)

    Tickets is never the issue, THERE ALWAYS ARE TICKETS!!! If you want them bad enough then put effort it in and search.. i got tickets for all 5 of the last shows in 2008 a few weeks before the shows themselves..

    and well sickies? :P

    Cause you're well connected there Ed. ;) The group had spares. We all scored & paid for NYC1 & NYC2 10club ticket's. So we had many doubles to go around. Not everybody is well connected.

    Well the PJ forum is a great place to start, i actually got my MSG tickets from a dude who came from Scotland for just the 2 shows on his own.

    For me it would be night 1 due to the opener. I have yet to see The Black Keys and have seen Band of Horses multiple times.

    Eddie has said many times that PJ's best shows (and he said many other bands for that matter) are always the next to last night of a tour.

    well the main reason i ask is not because i only want to go to one..i know theres always way..but not everyone can afford this stuff financially to go to both especially if you have to hunt down tix..so some have to choose one and unfortunately i might just have to do that

    I was really thinking of just one this year since money is tight, and would've chosen the 2nd night, but...Black Keys?! Makes 1st night a must. Hopefully I'll figure things out for both nights.

    Dang, beat me to it -- Night 1 is my main focus simply because Ed said it. Just a long, long standing fact that the SECOND to last date is always the best rippin' show of a tour.

    In my MSG experiences (2003, 2008), I have a hard time really distinguishing night one from night two on both occasions because I had similar seats at all of them and all of them were great.
