I have been reading a lot of the reviews, and I agree with pretty much all of it, there's a lot of positivity towards both of the shows, and lot of special moments that were had, a lot of great music played-however I wonder if I was the only person who preferred Monday night, albeit by the smallest of margins.

I feel like I'm going to get lambasted for saying it- I preferred night 1. For me, that was the better show

am I alone in this sentiment? Let's hear it..

    Night 2 was way better than night 1 in my opinion.

    The band sounded better but even more importantly, the crowd was so much better. The first many rows on night 1 were way too quiet. People were just standing still. I don't know if everybody was stoned :) The girl next to me even asked me to keep my hands down, I was like sure.... but wtf?

    Night 2 the crowd was much more into it and responding a lot more. And I'm sure that had an effect on the band. I was thrilled to get Hard To Imagine, and Rockin In the Free World could have continued into eternity and I would never get tired of it. It was amazing.

    Highlights of night 1 for me was Pendulum and Indifference, as I'd been hoping to hear both. But the energy of the crowd as well as the band made night 2 perfect. One of the best shows I've been to.

    I think the band sounded great both nights, so I guess for me I'll say the preference comes to song selection, I am a HUGE binaural fan.

    As far as crowd I think they were both on the lacking side both nights. Night 1 i was in front GA and it was great where I was, but everyone reserved was sitting. Night 2 I had amazing front row reserved, but looking at everyone sitting was depressing as fuk! I couldnt help wonder how the band felt seeing everyone so relaxed like they were at the matinee showing of the new tom cruise movie or something. here's a crappy cellphone pic i took of night 2 crowd

    I was there both nights, and can't really chose between them. Both were fantastic!

    I was there both nights but can't really compare the 2 cuz I was in GA night one and in a seat night 2 so they were entirely different experiences.

    Night 2 they played all or none. So I mean, based on set lists alone that one would win for me. But only for that reason.

    I thought night 1 was better. For people talking about the crowd, it was very weak in the stands both nights until the encores.

    Did you like the beginning or the ending better? ;)
