When we walked into the venue Tues night there was almost no line at the merch booth....amazing how different it is for PJ

You can see that Rage doesn't mess with posters or little stuff like coozies, buttons, stickers, etc. I waited in line about 10 minutes Monday night and got the shirts we wanted. 

Yep that was nice to see.  Not a bunch of adults panicking over getting their stickers and buttons for hours!!

Hahah. Easily the worst part about this community 

Tool's was worse... I'm hard pressed to think of an uglier scene than the merch crowd in Cleveland a few months ago. 

Granted, I haven't seen the PJ crowd since 2018, but the Tool merch scenes were beyond gross this year.  

They usually clamor just for the signed poster, no?

Since 2019 Tool's concert posters have been pretty sick, high quality, and extremely limited (usually anywhere from 400 - 800 prints / show)

At this point people are clawing over each other even for the unsigned. 

Cleveland's was an Alex Grey, and pretty iconic for Tool (although not even close to their best print from this tour IMO) I think there were also only 700 total or so. 

Still can't believe I passed on the $100 signed edition of this at the show.

Proly going for well over $1K on the resale market. 

That's another reason it was so bad this year @ Tool, the majority of the unsigned prints were flipping for ungodly amounts. 

The above Alex Grey was going for $700 +/- UNSIGNED. 

I passed on the signed tool poster at governor's ball... Oh well.

I have the Edmonton poster from that same 2010 tour.  Not band signed though. I didn't even know they were selling posters when I was there (must of been sold out).  Ended up find in A/P on ebay a few years back.  Love the poster

Probably won’t go if I’m not in the 100s though. I don’t go to many shows anymore (5yo/3yo daughters) so when I do I try to get as close as possible. Thanks for the offer though @tempo_n_groove

They project the band on a large screen at the rear of the stage. Really not a bad seat in the place when that happens.

Shine pigeon posted the full Alpine show.  He did a good job and you can see/feel the energy.  Looked awesome.  I am very excited for this one.

Honestly I saw them back to back in Chicago and those might have been the two best concerts I have ever attended.

Just non stop energy and passion for 90 minutes

Wow that’s a heavy claim but I’m honestly getting that feeling watching clips of these shows. I’m seriously stoked for this. I’m going to night one at msg but I won’t be surprised if I decide to attend a few more after the first one. 

we do know that the setlist doesn't change much....you might get a different song each night but the rest will be the same. But still....

Has everyone here that has seen a show had seats or GA and how rough is GA?

I had seats.  GA was definitely rougher than a PJ show as you'd expect, but nothing crazy.  A couple of small "pits" going, lot of crowd surfing and cups with beer, etc. getting tossed in the air.  Saw a dude getting walked out from the front with a cup half filled with blood coming from his nose/mouth.  A rough GA is all relative, but there was a good amount of movement taking place, so be prepared for that if you go that route.
