Hampton Horrible

EarlWelsh · April 2016

I think the problem here is....what the fuck is a Hampton, Virginia?

I've never been more disappointed in a post in years.

To each their own, but in my opinion, that setlist was awesome! You got Long Road in the middle, that's incredible! I am mine, Not for You & Daughter w/tags, Come back, faithfull, breath, inside job, habit, and that's just scratching the surface!

You mad they didn't play betterman and last kiss?

bingo....Long road mid set? fuck that is awesome, and habit is always a stellar semi rarity

I guess the only complaint I would have about last night is that you could tell a lot of people had Raleigh on their mind, as the shock factor was still there by the time the show started

Great setlist though

I tried watching on periscope... but was just not in the mood and shut it off pretty quickly... which is odd and not a feeling I would have expected.

With that said.... looking at the set list, it isnt/wasnt my kind of show. Lots of valleys and few peaks IMO. Some pretty long stretches that would have been too much of a slowdown. Encores had nothing really special.

Set looked good to me! Was your problem that EV spoke a little about politics?

jen.ryan · April 2016

I have to agree with most....while I Wasn't there, and the set list isn't the tell-all.....the set list looks fantastic. Unless they sounded bad or something like that, I don't know what the problem could be with it. I'd take a set list like this for my upcoming Philly shows with no reservations!

You mad they didn't play a full album?

CantKeepmedown · April 2016

People were going to not enjoy this show no matter what happened. The Raleigh stuff was going to linger and some people (whether they were there or not) just simply weren't going to be into it.

Looked pretty average from the set. I wouldn't say bad, but the problem going forward will be the atmosphere in the shows... I have a feeling it won't be as energetic.

I have a hard time thinking this will be an issue in Philly or NY. Maybe I'm wrong.

63schoefflin · April 2016

You are probably right and I hope everyone is back and fully charged by then which I fully expect. But man, my interest in the shows went from 125% to about 15%. I'm just not in it right now and it seems a lot of my friends going are baffled and kind of hesitant about what to expect after me hyping up a PJ show for years and years. Once all this dies down I think it will be fine but hey... You never know.

The first encore was incredible. I know everyone has different tastes, but comeback, sad, lightning bolt, in my tree, breath,DTE and porch!

There was so much hype for the Hampton show I am not sure that it could ever have lived up to peoples expectations. I know two newbies that went to the show who said it was the best concert they have ever been to. Being a die hard fan, it wasn't the best show I have ever seen. I had a couple in front of me making out the entire show and the women next to them was face timing the show for some doofy looking guy. That was very distracting. I thought the energy was great except for the row in front of me and the second set was amazing. Disappointed in my 10club seats but at least I was there.

ceeg999 · April 2016

This show was really good! They played lots of great songs!

I will say that the fans in the GA pit are a little to psycho in terms of pushing people. Some fans need to lighten up and not be aggressive with obvious other huge fans of the band. Some of these folks really need to get a grip. Besides being manhandled by several people, (I'm a petite girl, 5 ft tall, and I just wanted to see the band), the show was amazing. I hope people can be a more kind to other members of the 10 Ten Club.

Eddie rocks!

Agreed. The whole Raleigh thing just killed the momentum I had going this tour. I wish I could get my money back for Columbia at the least, just not as excited anymore.

dirty_mike · April 2016

The Raleigh announcement killed the mood for me. I got the email while I was standing in line to get into the venue. I just couldn't get into it. I was behind the stage and thought everything sounded great. The pit looked like they were having a blast. We had some gems in there. Habit, Lukin, RVM, Sad & In My Tree were my favorites. For me, cancelling Raleigh has left a deep wound.

pjalive21 · April 2016

Cancelling a show probably killed the moral of some people im guessing....im a week out from Lexington and even tho cancelling the show didn't directly affect me the fact that 20,000 fans got hosed is on my mind and hopefully goes away next week

imagine what they could have done if they would have played and sent a message that way rather that cancelling...oh well

Organize a rally in downtown Raleigh. I bet thousands would have showed up. Then go play a kick ass rock-n-roll show. Be proactive instead of reactive.

I got Brain of J for the first time. Fuckers teased us by going into Faithfull, thought I was gonna get Yield! But hey, I wanted more Yield and I got it.
Show was a little bittersweet for me - for personal reasons, not NC or the setlist or anything else, completely personal - but I enjoyed it the best I could.

PJ1973 · April 2016

Horrible? No. Disappointing? Only if you bought into the hype this was going to be the show of the tour, bc Phish and the Dead played epic shows here. I thought it was a great show but certainly muted. I got my tickets at 5:30. When I got back to the GA line, all the excitement was out- everyone was looking at their phones to figure out if the announcement was true. And almost every conversation after was about the cancellation. When the band came out the crowd got pumped up again. But to me it was the most somber pit leading up to the show.

Average? I think the only thing that impressed anymore is when they play a full album. Take Vs out and the Greenville set kinda sucked. I guess the set is the most subjective thing. Habit, long road mid set, it's ok tag, in my tree, breath (2consecutive shows!!??) , inside job, sad....... Average?
