    I personally felt the Florida and Texas crowds were epic

    Speaking as an eastcoaster...this is largely correct.

    Aug. 8 & 10 - Safeco (Seattle)
    Aug. 17 & 19 - Wrigley (Chicago)
    Aug. 31 & Sept. 2 - Fenway (Boston)
    Sept. 7 & 9 - Citizens Bank (Philadelphia)

    Assuming that these might be the only shows we get in the US for this year, any ideas as to which city would be the easiest to get tickets for via 10C lottery?  Which city might be the toughest?  I'm assuming Seattle would be the toughest due to the hometown factor and lack of shows lately.  Thoughts/ideas? 
    Do we know these are the correct dates?  
    Nope.  Just the cities and dates with strongest rumors so far.  
    I haven't been in here in a long time, and I'm hoping it's not JUST a four city ball park tour this year. :(

    I think the whole crowd thing is overblown 
    Plenty of great crowds across the country. 
    Moline/Milwaukee/Denver run in 14 had great crowds

    Also, great shows can happen with calm crowds.  Bad shows can happen with great crowds.

    14' was the best run they had in awhile. Nothing against the 16 tour but this is where they picked up a lot of fans that maybe didn't know they were still kicking ass. In the Omaha/Lincoln Metro area saying that was the best concert that has been in NE for the past 10 years.

    Not to mention that it's relative to where you are in the venue as well.  If you're surrounded by shitty people, it might suck but the person 10 feet away from you might think it's the greatest crowd ever.

    U.S. crowds for big bands are full of corporate guests and stuff that are in primo locations but couldn't care less about the music.  At Wrigley II 2016 I was on the rail behind the little VIP section on Stone's side.  It was full of guests and friends (including some we all know) and they werent even facing the stage most of the time, either talking or looking at their phones.  I didn't see as much of that in Amsterdam and Italy in 2014.

    It's what it is...big business.  I've been trying to go to more small shows/newer bands and it's usually a way better experience.

    MSG had the same corporate douchebags next to the GA pits in their suits and ties...playing on there phones the entire time. Eddie and Mike both had to notice too. it was depressing.

    I'll never understand the "OMG HOMETOWN SHOW!" people. Have you not been to, or seen the setlists for the couple concerts here the last 20 years? They don't like playing here, it's why they never do and why the setlists are always average at best.
    The last couple times Eddie has come out and said how the crowd just stands around and doesn' give them any energy. That's why they love to play places like Philly, NYC, boston, Chicago. HIGH energy crowds. The band really feeds off of it. 
    I haven’t been to a show in Seattle, but why are the places u mentioned more high energy than most other cities? I’ve seen them in Boston and Chicago multiple times and I didn’t personally notice anything different from all the other shows I’ve been to around the country. Just my opinion though. 
    I've heard we in the States all pale in comparison to the South American crowds.
    Yeah I can definitely see that. I’ve seen some impressive videos of those SA shows. Looks epic.

    Yes Detroit too, lol.
    Just pointing out that great crowds are everywhere. My favorite shows have been unpopular shows. Seat location, people around you, setlist, the kind of day(s) you’ve had. All play into it

    Hartford 13 was awesome, but I really liked the Worcester shows, especially Worcester 2. That's a really small building. Loved it.

    I don't think Hartford has ever gotten a bad show.  I wore that 1996 bootleg out.  We were there in 2010 and it was killer too.  2013 is a great show as well.
