    If this is your view with a 10c ticket, take a photo and go see the 10c folks about it. They should be able to find you another seat.

    Fenway is... an anomoly with poles and sightlines. They don’t always know that some tix in the fanclub allotment have a pole right in the way.
    Thanks for the info. You know where the 10c folks would be at Fenway? I do have photo’s...
    I was close.


     
    such history...

    I prefer this 27

    End of the show, a mom and her daughter were shown on the screen. Mom had tears in her eyes. As a Dad standing there with my 10 year old, I related to her emotions and I teared up as well. Well done Mom. Incredible to share it with our children. 
    She probably was regretting having a family and not being able to follow the band around more.  Tears of sadness and regret.

    I'm just here for the vedpunk selfings.  Dude is getting pwnt left and right.  Also night 1 was better, and the 2016 run was much better overall imo.

    I was at both 2016 shows and then night 1 of 2018.  I too thought 2016 had much more energy but then I was on the field both nights.  Although, if you aren't within 30 rows of the stage and towards the middle, you are watching the jumbo tron most of the time regardless of where you are sitting.

    I was disappointed to not be on the field with 10c tix.....but I must say, the Box sections near Pesky Pole (5,6,7) ended up being great. I’d have no issue sitting there again.

    I DONT CARE ABLUT BRUCE, this is Fenway 1 FANVIEWS keep to topic :)
    Yes!  Bruce is great, but I am looking to read about folks views of Fenway N1 here.  Can’t wait to hear the boot because sound quality in GS29 was off - muffled and too much echo.  Still a great show and setlist :-)

    Sounded great in G32. Soundcheck the night before sounded great, too. Maybe the FOH setup didn't have even coverage.

    I have heard quite a few reports of bad sound but it apparently depended on seat location.

    We were commenting on the way out of the park that it was one of the better sounding live shows we have been to.

    FWIW, I didn't wear ear plugs, which I usually do.

    Heavy bass up front. The kind you feel more than you hear.

    I have been watching vids on youtube reliving night 1 a lot the last couple of days. First off Release was as perfect as I remembered it. My first show was Worcester night 1 and Release opened there. Loved that they opened up with that song at my first show but looking back it was just an ok version. Fenway night 1 2016 I got to hear it again and it improved greatly on the first time I heard Release. Night 1 2018 was the version that I always wanted to be able to hear. From the crowd singing along to Eddie nailing all the notes it was a great moment.

    The next vid that I can't stop watching is the Slow/Fast I Am a Patriot. I heard it at Wrigley as well but this time it went off perfectly. What a cool version. I would like to see a full slow version someday.

    Out Of My Mind is the next vid that I have been watching a lot of. Some people do not get what the big deal of this song is and to be honest I can not explain it myself since it is a fairly simple song but I have to admit this was probably the single most memorable concert experience of my life. I had that jumping up and down holy shit moment that people get and I could not control myself. I sang this song as loud as I could and if you watch the vid you can see Eddie is having a pretty good time himself. This song just oozes awesomeness.

    Can’t remember if I saw this posted here yet or not but a fan picking up her N2 tix was outside N1 and recorded while listening to Release. The crowd is SO loud, really cool perspective.

    Ive had the Sometimes/release video on regular rotation while I’ve been painting and putting up blinds. I’ve been lucky to get Release at a few shows but the unexpectedness of it. Chills.

    I've been to as many shows as times in which they have played Out of My Mind...and to see them play it made me go ape shit! How could anyone have expected that? Tremor Christ was also major highlight for me.

    I don’t want to quote my review because it was really long  but I do want to mention corduroy again it was fucking phenomenal!
     I am really surprised that no one has mentioned this version of cordoroy as being such as stand out version
    You know, I didn't notice it to be spectacular, but I'll watch the tape tonight to see if change my mind.  I did notice that they changed the mid song interlude that they've played, pretty much nonstop since the Lauderdale show at the beginning of 16.  I'm glad because I don't really like the break they had been using.  
    If you want to critique everyone for being ignorant on Springsteen, you should brush up on PJ a little bit.  They absolutely played the slowed down, middle section crowd sing along of Corduroy at Fenway.

    Reading is fundamental.  I didn't say they didn't play the "slowed down" part, I said I'm glad they changed it.  And they did, with Mike playing a solo before Ed gets into it.  It's the first time I recall them doing that in the 15 or so shows I've attended since the beginning of 16.  I cut a little snip for you so you can jog your memory.   I promise to brush up on my PJ if you promise to read more carefully.

    Late getting my review in. I’m glad to see the debate between which night was better. Clearly, as a result, both were great!

    I hit both shows and loved both. Out of the 13 I’ve seen, these 2 are easily top 5. N1 had a random, fun feel. The set flow was pretty unusual. Loved that. Will make listening to the boot more fun too. I was in F49 and the sound was pretty solid, especially after about 5 songs. Sometimes was a tad thin but had a great effect going into Release. That was a surprise. Ed’s vocals were strong and relaxed. I would even say crisp. Musically it was tight almost all throughout. Tremor Christ was a shock and is a great version. Not too fast and not a fuck up to be found lol. Highlight for me was Patriot. That cover cooks when played half slow and fast. 

    Overall it it was the feel of the set flow and creating a fun vibe that I dug most. The encore was killer. I had a blast.
