*** Brooklyn 2 Fanviews Here 10/19/13 ***

Though they were both incredible shows, I have to rank night 1 higher. Release, Chloe/Crown, Oceans, Eruption, Indifference, Sleight of Hand all in the same set.

You should start a thread asking people which night they thought was better, this thread is for night 2 reviews.

LOL, sorry officer. I did say they were both incredible shows.

I only got to see Brooklyn2 but wow -- what a show! Crowd energy was palpable and that makes all the difference. There was a buzz in the air before the show and it turned into electricity by the time the lights went down. Brought both teenage daughters to the show and it was my youngest's 1st PJ show. She couldn't stop smiling!

We all smiled and talked about it until we fell asleep at the Sheraton at around 2:00am and talked about it again during our 4 hr drive home to upstate NY the next day.

Met some great folks at the Wishlist pre-party and glad our EV Melbourne poster fetched $75 in the auction.

anyone know the song that plays in the arena after the shows are over? slower song, a lot of piano...

Again, sorry for using a fairly common internet sign for laughing out loud. Next time I'll post a video of myself laughing or a smiley face guy laughing at people who police boards and point fingers. L.O.L!

Days later and I am still processing what I witnessed. I've never been to a show with a crowd like that. You could feel the energy. The band sounds better now than when I saw them a couple of times in the '90s. Eddie's voice was amazing and the music was so tight. Attended my first show since Randalls Island in the rain. My wife surprised me with tix for us on Wednesday before the show, then the next day she had to be rushed to the hospital where she remained for 4 days. She told me to still go to the show. I felt guilty going but am glad she still had me go. I hope this show comes out on DVD so she gets a chance to somewhat experience what I did. This would have been her first ever PJ show. I will have to make it up to her somehow.

I found it surprising at how every new song they played from LB just seemed to fit right in and how powerful those songs were live. Lightning Bolt in particular surprised me as I hadn't paid much attention to it when listening to the cd. As soon as they played Wash with the second song I thought I might be in store for a truly special show. Glad I was right. I was in Section 225, way up but was on my feet the whole show and even though I was up in the rafters I think it's one of if not the best show I've ever attended.

I've read all the messages in this thread and am glad everyone seems to have gotten the same feelings from the show that I did. I have to say that those who are writing about Sirens being played too much or that it's just an ok song, I think perhaps those people are younger than me. I believe that song is one of the best songs they have ever composed. Some of Eddie's best lyrics ever which clearly encapsulate feelings of love, fear of loss, life and death. As a husband and a father the song resonates with me.

And for those upset that Ed may have screwed up some lyrics, it's a live show. I think that makes it all the more real. They are human beings. I think it adds to the atmosphere. I like that he doesn't use a teleprompter. I prefer him feeling the music and energy rather than trying to read the words off a screen. Just my opinion.

Wash, In Hiding, Rats, ATY....unreal. Not to mention the rendition of Porch. When people have asked me how the show was, I tell them it was like a 3 hour sing along with the band. The crowd could be heard singing along to every tune.

Wow....just wow :shock:

EV changed the words to ATY due to our signs

yeah, he told you to put your signs down

as an FYI, yes, he told us to put the signs down, but it was done in a joking matter. thanks for playing.

I'm Your Late Night Evening Prostitute, by Tom Waits.

I don't know his stuff except for one or two tune other people have covered. What little I have heard by him, before, I did not like, but I like this song a lot!

awesome.. thanks!!

Bar none, Barclay Night 2 was the best PJ show I've ever seen. Maybe it was the atmosphere, or the crowd. Maybe it was Ed's jovial mood. Maybe it was because we were up on rail in GA. Maybe it a little of all of that.
