    I honestly think reserved seating helped make this show that more special. People were energetic and pumped instead of smelly and exhausted after sitting in a ga line for 40 plus hours.

    Can I just say how thrilled I am that Fenway was ALL reserved! Reading about the Wrigley GA pit last night makes me so so SO grateful that at Fenway we could be close and also short and female and still see just fine without waiting all day, plus go get drinks and pee (during Evenflow of course) without having to fight one's way back to our spots. LOVE OUR SHOWS!!!

    Couldn't agree more.....where were your seats? I have been trying to connect with people that were around us. We went Sunday and sat front row section A3....it was unreal!

    Is Fenway 2 going to be played on PJ radio (website, not Sirius) today? I saw somewhere 12 noon today, but wasn't sure. Getting my hopes up for an afternoon of working with my headphones on.

    also, the sun going down from the start...the songs flowed as it got darker and the crowd did the same. it was so loud, i never felt like i was outside. just a huge night, thanks

    The fact that the weather and the sound were phenomenal (except for the few sections where you couldn't make out Ed's words when he was speaking) also just fed the magic beyond belief. I could NOT believe how good the sound was!

    Of the 4 ballpark shows I think Fenway 2 stands out - for me - at the top. Me and the Mrs watched all 4 online (via Periscope) which was better than nothing and this show stands out for me as great start to finish. I will probably buy the download of Wrigley 2 also but love F2!

    Not even taking into consideration the time I had at Fenway 2 (amazing) I'm pretty sure that all 4 of these baseball park shows are going to be staples in my listening rotation as a set.
    I haven't even heard any of that National League shizzy yet, but the Fenway stuff I've been lucky enough to get my hands on, stellar..

    Couple observations...This band has never sounded better. Mind You Manners has sort of morphed into a real sledgehammer feedback infused guitar crunch fest (AND MM's background vocals!!! nice job mcmelty !!)

    The first time I heard Unthought Known I thought this is what music from the future sounds like, music that changed the way humans should feel about each other, like Wyld Stallyns in Bill and Ted. That song is aging perfectly. I'd love to see it as a show opener.

    Draw the Line opened up a real can o worms....More new ass kicking covers please! Shake that shit up!

    Sprung for the FLAC-HD files for the first time in my life. This show was incredible. Hands down one of the best shows I've ever seen by any band. So excited to listen back!

    stadium show with all that energy---outside...just a different type of beast of a show...no wonder I was so so sore for days after (i'm in pretty good shape too:)), lost my voice for about 4 days, and suffered post show depression like never before

    I've been in super fan mode ever since the end of this show that, a lot of reflecting and thinking about the glorious 25 years it's been on this wave!
