    What get left off tonight? Not that it matters. They could have just played masters of war and walked right off the stage.

    Red Mosquito scratched. They were late because the crowd was late and pandered to them with most of the set.

    Darrell Evans? Reggie White? Nice try Ed! At least you got Fred Lynn.

    How many times has he told that story? I feel like this was the third time I've heard it. Maybe it was only once before. But it was cool with them showing the Polaroids on the screen.

    Masters of War was fantastic and I love me some Fast Patriot!

    Man what an amazing show. I thought Masters of War was incredible. Strangest Tribe sounded fantastic. Loved Society too. Youkilis bringing out the uke was classic. It was a great, great show. Can't wait for Sunday.

    Floor wasn't too difficult to navigate. Getting to the floor however was crazy. Felt like cattle in a sardine can.

    Red Mosquito, Lukin, Betterman all scratched from encore 2 due to 10:30 curfew. Really, 10:30 curfew ?

    Loved Release into Long Road, who doesn't?

    Strangest Tribe was an absolute treat!

    Masters of War sounded rugged. I enjoyed the distorted guitar on this.

    Was nice to hear a new cover in the Aerosmith song. Didn't know what it was so I liked it.

    As always, All Those Yesterdays was an amazing performance. I wish they'd play it more.

    Crowd was great. Good vibe!

    Thank you Boston for being a great host city!

    pros : first off being on field in Fenway was amazing. Touching the green monster was very cool. Seats were great, thanks for that ticket drop 10c. Loved the 5 song slow start as sun was going down. "All those yesterdays, all those double plays", lol. Masters of war, patriot, grievance first set highlights for me as well. Strangest Tribe, unreal. I gotta a feeling was great. Crowd was super pumped most of night.

    Cons: thought just breathe and sleeping by myself brought crowd down from its high. Looked like Ed tried to pump it back up during life wasted. 4 song 2nd encore is just weak. I know they had a 10:30 curfew (?) and apparently started later cause crowd wasn't in. Losing red mosquito, Lukin, Betterman and indifference hurts.

    But all in all great show, great time, I thought great job by Fenway people. There were plenty of merch stands. Wish I could go Sunday.

    Cool show! Felt the flow of it was a little off, compared to the normal built set list. Seemed like they would get going, then slow it down after two or three songs, then try to build it back up. Crowd seemed like it was decent. Highlights of the night were the stories from Ed regarding sneaking into Fenway, and hearing Strangest Tribe and I've Got A Feeling for the first time live. Masters of War was cool too! Can't wait to see what they do with night #2!

    thank you 10club for a4 row 6 in between ed and jeff

    the sound was fantastic!

    not going into songs etc but one thing i did notice going back to the row 1-2 lottery and all seating is that the first 4 rows directly in front of me had zero life in it. it was rather shameful with such fantastic seats. people directly in front of me and beside me literally disappeared for at least 1 hour i guess to go smoke and buy alcohol. even the people on the rail were just leaning on it not seemingly into it...row 5 and behind were totally fine...

    i now see why the band is only going forward with ga...

    I was in A3 and with the exception of a few people in my area the crowd felt dead down front. I guess the age of the 10c members is starting to catch up. Sound was great. Seating was really tight. Some people need to eat a salad every once in a while. The 2 people next to me were spilling over out of their seats. I could barely move most of the time. Overall thought the show was great.

    First time seeing a show at Fenway and it was great! My only gripe was the group of guys next to us must have taken 10 piss breaks and had zero energy. Why even go to the show? Sit at home, throw in Ten, have a beer and let someone else have your seat.

    Add me to the list of kinda unimpressed. It was fine but not anywhere near a top 10 for me. Agreed with the person who said it felt "skinny". Strangest tribe, society and fast patriot were highlights. Release , long road start is pretty much a dream, just never got fully in gear after that, for me at least.

    Masters of War, I've Got A Feeling and the awesome Comfortably Numb cover were my highlights. Draw The Line was fun too. Love Release->Long Road as an opener. Thought Ed telling the Polaroid story again this visit was strange but it paid off when we got to see the pictures. Mike McCready is fucking awesome, every time. Strangest Tribe was fun to hear but so many people had no idea what it was or why it was special. Great seats next to Pesky's Pole. Fenway looks great and gets better with age. Sound was a pleasant surprise. Good times all around. Interested to see this show again tomorrow at House Of Blues and then to experience whatever they have in mind for us on Sunday. So damn glad these shows are finally happening!
