*** Buffalo Fanviews Here 5/10/10 ***

Unthought Known as opener?! Fatal?!

Nice, but wouldn't say it beats cleveland, 4 songs shorter

Writing this from Pearl St. Brewery...awesome show my 1st arena show. Incredible 10C seats front row section 116. To see No Way was great! Awesome energy, Light Years is one of my favorites so lucky to see that. I just feel this band doesn't disappoint! Can't wait till Hartford!

Fatal, No Way, Fucking Up, that is Awesome

Setlist wise not quite as good as cleveland was... but the crowd was absolutely nuts. The band also seemed a lot more energetic and really engaged the crowd a ton. Getting tired of just breathe live. Great seats on the wing section 106 row 12... I always end up on captain mike's side. A few gems on the list but a somewhat vanilla setlist. Stbc rocked!

I enjoyed tonights show more than cleveland. The poster is sharp in person, the colors really pop out.

Eddie smashed up a guitar again. Someone threw their sneakers onstage and he pretended he was going to drink wine or gatorade out of it. He spit it out, dumped it before it got too far. Dedicated light years to tim russert as he did in camden in 2008. Eddie acknowledged buffalo has gotten a few epic shows and they planned on keeping the trend, but it was not as special as 2003.

Awesome show...Sat 12th row on stone's side. Thank's to a fellow 10c member. Truely awesome experience, great energy from the band alot of interaction with the crowd. Highlights for me were Lightyears, RVM and Fatal 3 of my favorite songs. Would have liked to replace Unemployable and Severed HANd with Come back and inside job...but hey if you would have told me I was going to be sitting 12th row a few days ago I would have listened to Betterman and Jeremey on loop the entire show

Well, well.. First of all, I've been to over 25 PJ shows and have only been front row in the past due to my will determination circa 94-2000 (pit era)... Tonight, I won the lottery through the 10C and ended up right in front of Senor Mike.. When you sit that close... nothing else matters... Unreal.. Setlist kicked ass... ONCE.. FuCKIN UP... No F'n WAY.. FATAL.. UNTHOUGHT KNOWN as an opener... Disheveled... Disheveled.. Got a High 5 from Mike and a sincere handshake w/a guitar pic mixed in some how... Last time I saw them was when they closed down the spectrum when I sat 6000 rows from the stage and Philly Fhan decided the ALCS was more important.. But to win the lottery in my own home town is un-toppable if that's even a word..THANKS GENTS... Always is truly a pleasure.!.!.!

This show was fantastic. The energy was great. The setlist was good, not mindblowing. Great to hear a few specific songs though. No Way. Ligh years, Fatal. The rest was pretty much regular played stuff.

But the crowd was amazing. PJ played awesome. Eddie was singing great as usual.

The absolute best part was that I won the lottery and got front row floor section 3, seat 5 & 6. The group around me (all lottery winners) was absolutely insane. We all rocked out for the whole show. It was intense. My throat is totally raw from yelling so much. I managed to get a few picks. Kept 2 and distributed about 5 more to people that didnt get one. My wife managed to get the roadie's(or whatever he was) copy of the setlist. Songs they didnt play are scratched out. The woman beside me got a tamborine handed to her by Eddie. She looked like she was going to burst into tears.

It was friggin epic.

One thing that I did notice though. The sound further back seemed to be quite a bit better. I walked down to the middle of the floor heading to the restrooms and the sound was great back there. HSBC arena was quite nice. good access to everything and lots of concession stands.


Shwiznale3, you must have been a couple seats down from me!
I got high fived by Mike too, but there was not slip of a pick in with it

Good show...great crowd and some nice jems.

Unthought Known as an opener was fantastic...first time I think!

Some songs put a bit of a damper on the setlist like:
Small Town (of course - horrible song), Given to Fly (does nothing for me), Unemployable, and Last Kiss??

Light Years and Grievance from Binaural were amazing.

Rockers like STBC, Once, Fuckin Up, and Animal sounded great.

No Way was absolutely incredible and Fatal was a very nice suprise.

Besides the few downers the setlists are looking as good as ever!
