    So did anyone notice that in Miami there was all sort of reverb issues with the sound until about song 9 or 10? It seemed to me that the Tampa sound was perfect from the get go. I think they were using some type of digital enhancer for songs like WMA etc... and it was not agreeing with the other pieces - I had a hard time in Miami with the sound - Tampa straight on - did anyone see Eddie lose his lyric book and then handed back to me.

    Sound wasn't good for me in Miami in the beginning. I couldn't really hear Ed. But then at some point it got better. Song 9 or 10 sounds about right. Wasn't in Tampa so can't compare :)

    Amazing show. The pit was electric and seemed like the band was really feeling it last night. Tough to complain about the set list when your 2 people from the stage! On to MSG next month!

    Great show! The sound had a lot of echo from where I was sitting. I was hoping for closer seats. Very short person, but at least the big screens were there to view. Then after seeing Ed and Mike came down into the crowd, I was kicking myself for not trying to pit tickets. PJ put on one hell of a show.

    Here's a link to the video of the Lightning Bolt from Amalie Arena's twitter.

    My 2 cents. The 2nd and 3rd setlists were amazing and were better than Miami's 2nd and 3rd sets. Seeing 'Hard to Imagine' in the first set amazing and was first for me. Bucket List checked. I thought the first setlist in Miami was a bit better and it pains me to say this, but I thought the crowd energy was better in Miami...AND I live in Tampa (walking distance to the arena). I had 10C seats but I was surrounded by douchebags who spent most of the time talking to each other or on their phones. Hell, the couple next to us missed the first song and left after the 5th song! But, besides the distractions of some of the fans, I'm still numb by two amazing shows. Hell, we are even considering making the trek up to Jax for the Wednesday show. This.band.is.damned.addictive.

    I did notice one somewhat amazing act of kindness. The guy in front of me, who was a fellow hardcore fan loving every second of it, held up his phone on a phone call the entire night for some female acquaintance who couldn't make it to the show.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    I agree the sound quality between Miami and Tampa were noticeable. I don't think it was as much as a reverb issue versus just a lousy, old cave-like arena in Miami. About 4 years ago the RNC spent a buttload improving the acoustics of the Tampa Bay Times Arena (former name of Amelia) when they brought their hatefest to town. Ever since, concerts have sounded exponentially better.

    He wasn't obstructing anyone's view and the screen wasn't bright. He held the phone at waist level. My GF noticed him doing it and creeped a look at the name on the phone.

    Yeah, I agree. That would have been a different story. I was at a Blue October show where a guy held up his tablet-sized phone for half of the show until security got to him and told him to knock it off. THAT indeed was annoying and a distraction.

    My highlights:

    I patted Eddie on the chest when he ran behind GA. It was so crazy.
    Hard to imagine played in the middle of the first set?!?!
    Completing LB by getting getaway and MFS
    Imagine for the first time
    Betterman was insane and Eddie destroying his guitar

    Wow, what a fantastic night. I took a ton of great pics and videos that I have to go through.

    I'm honestly not sure how one can complain about the set. They can't all be the best, and last night was exceedingly more than adequate. Great energy from the band, great energy from the crowd. To do what they do day in, day out, it's awesome to see that they love doing it and they don't treat it like a routine, they treat it like a priveledge. Viva la Pearl Jam!
