I sincerely thought it was because I was more inebriated the second night, but after seeing similar feelings across the board, it's clear this was a special night! Busing out of the gate with Off He Goes and NAIS was amazing, and where Night 1 had a weird ebb and flow to it, this one flowed as smooth as good wine. Amazing set, energized crowd (including younger generations thoroughly enjoying what they were witnessing), and band was on fire. Show #13, and I'd have to put it within the top three of shows I've seen them do.

concur...setlist had a great flow

These were shows 11 & 12 for me... it's hard to distinguish because I feel like they complimented each other so well as a single unit.

I think their choice of covers for both nights deserves special recognition and I wrote about it here:

Top 3 show along the likes of PJ20, Moline, and Milwaukee. Also one of the best crowds I've seen at a PJ show. Definitely a special show.

I know the guys are used to it, but it must be so liberating as an artist to have 40,000 people absolutely screaming every lyric to every one of your songs for almost 3.5 hours.

The best versions of Jeremy and Corduroy that I have ever seen. The crowd energy was unreal. Whoever says crowd doesn't make a difference in the show or how the band plays is crazy.

1 week already, dang.

I have the same "criticism" (let's use that term loosely, both shows were fantastic and this isn't negative) of the first Fenway show as I do for the May 17, 2010 TD Garden show in Boston. Looking at the setlist PJ hardcore fans get all geeked up that "We got Push Me Pull Me! Pilate! Undone! Bee Girl! Soldier of Love!" and check off all their checklists about the rare songs. It's not that the songs were played, but how they were in the setlist it just killed the flow of that entire show for me. I felt that show was kind of a mess. I don't think Fenway 1 was that way, but it had the same weird flow and when things started to get going, the momentum got killed.

Can't believe it's been a week already. Haven't stopped thinking about it since it happened. Can't wait for the boot, or maybe we'll get really lucky and get a DVD release. It's taken everything in me to not just plan a trip to Chicago, but I can't afford it right now. Hope everyone going has a great time, though! Those shows are gonna be something special, too.

I need more tour dates! TOTD will have to do, hahaha!

EdsonNascimento · August 2016

Still trying to process Off He Goes and NAIS right off the top. Knew it was special right there. And it only got better...

MissPennyLane · August 2016

It all just feels like a dream at this point. I know I was there and trying to grasp it all a week later but it just feels like a dream.

Absolutely. What a year. I mean, we all knew this tour was going to be awesome but holy shit. This has to be their best tour. And there's still 2 more shows. Wow.

Outstanding show! Best band on the planet in a legendary venue! Funny though how so many want to pit Sunday's show vs. Friday's. And/or compare this show to "epic" one's at MSG or Philly, whatever. This was my 11th PJ show since my maiden voyage at Alpine Valley in 2003 and they've all fucking kicked ass. This band of badass M.F.er's NEVER disappoint! Thanks be to PJ for an amazing library of music that I cherish. Thanks for a lifetime of memories at all the great shows with an awesome community of fans. Thanks for the reset. I'm now refreshed and ready get back at kicking ass in my small crazy world of balancing work and family. Can't wait for the next one!

yep, me too.....longer depression aftermath than normal from seeing them

SimmZ · August 2016

I have been a fan since the beginning, first show was April 6th 1994 in Springfield, MA. Been in the fan club for 21 years and have seen them close to 20 times. This past Sunday night show was unbelievable and the best yet, and it was my birthday, and we lucked out thru the 10C lottery and got front row, section A3 row 1. The 10C fans are the best! We had a blast! The group down there was unreal and the energy level could not have been higher! If anyone on here was down there in our area, let me know as I would love to reconnect with those guys and gals!

I would like to add that the sound quality was phenomenal. It was so loud but so clear it was hard to believe. Also, big thanks to mother nature....couldn't of had more perfect weather!

Good call on the weather, over the last 7 days, we've had disgusting heat & humidity in the area, we lucked out something fierce with the two nights we had at Fenway.

That is very true. Though, I will say that Friday was the nicer of the two night. I don't know if it was because we were out in the open on Friday, and under the roof on Sunday (also packed in tighter on Sunday - the dugout boxes are quite spacious compared to the grandstands), but I was definitely sweatier after Sunday's show.

ski-bum · August 2016

I sat dead center on the field both nights and I thought the weather was a little better Sunday. It wasn't as hot as Friday just had a better breeze. Oh hell, both nights were perfect. Especially for New England weather

Eddieredder · August 2016

My 19th show. Hadn't been to Boston as an adult. What a great city with great people. Every show is different and for me its pretty pointless to compare them. With that said, it ranks right up there as one the best I've seen. Counting the days to Wrigley.
