    My family attend show. My family recently move from Norway. This our first show. I find spectacle to be giant. Many nice sound. Matt lacked luster though. Son loved Solat tonight. His favourite play song. Me and wife like slower song like Small Town. Sorry for mush. Ah Ah Ah.

    Fuckin great! Seemed like Ed was extra talkative tonite. I was sittin 7th row side stage, closest I've been since the mosh pit days, so my view was new and exciting. Highlight for me was dissident, havent heard that one live in a while. Overall great show!

    Don't take this the wrong way, but I am being honest. It wasn't my all time favorite show, but it was damn good. They were really in top form, but I like to see the albums balanced slightly better. I don't think of 'Binaural' or 'Riot Act' as the bastard children of the family, so I would have liked something in that regard. Other than that, brilliant!!

    And I have to say something to all of you. The crowd tonight
    was off the F-in' chart!!! Of all the different shows of all the different bands I have seen, tonight's Mellon Arena crowd EASILY was the most enthusiastic I have ever witnessed. Good going all of you.

    And good for Ed for throwing in a plug for my man Jason Bay. The Pirates may be the worst franchise in sports, but Bay is the man. Vote for Bay for the All Star Game

    I am sitting here in our hotel on my laptop, husband fell asleep. I have to say, this was an incredible night, starting with the pre-show party and PJ just kicked ass. We were at the Cleveland show and the NJ 2, and I have to say, this was great. Thank you all, PJ and fellow fans for making it so great! I dont know how I am going to get any sleep tonight, I am just tingly all over...lol. Love & Peace, Rose

    I don't travel to see PJ, but I try to see them every time they are in Pittsburgh, except last year which I had to miss. I must say that this show rivaled the 2000 show for me, and that was originally my favorite. 1998 was a close 2nd. I loved the beginning of Better Man when he let the crowd sing. That was great. I can't wait to get the bootleg to hear it. The crowd was definitely into it all night. I thought the set list made the show. I am an "old-time" PJ fan, and the more older stuff they play, the better the concert is to me. I heard almost everything I wanted to hear, except rearviewmirror, Given to Fly, and Baba O'Riley. Every time I see these guys in concert, it reminds me why they are my favorite band bar none.

    Kaddi you got it! For the band to put that string of songs together u mentioned turned out be be simply genius. The show blowed me away. The crowd was one of the best i saw noone sitting. The band seemed refreshed and ready. Cinci will have trouble beatin that one.

    What an incredible show. This is why they are the best live band on the planet. what a great vibe, the crowd was insane!!
    It was so great to hear release. they also played a lot of ten songs. I was so happy to finally hear man of the hour live and state of love and trust was just electric. eddie was fierce as was the whole band. an awesome,awesome show.

    Smile = me smiling...BUT come on, forget the list, did you hear the way the songs sounded and how they we're jammed, and for god's sake, Garden...i still have chills...but i respect you're viewpoint...on paper, with some minor exceptions, it was typical...but WWS so late....excellent, excellent mix up to start off the new leg, not to mention DTE so early...almost pissed myself...haha...peace.
