    Is it me or were the crowd reactions and singing to leash and breath just as loud as the hits? Man what a great last few days. Can’t these last two shows out of my head.

    I agree about the crowds reaction to leash. It looked to me like Jeff was taken back by how loud the crowd was for Leash.

    Not sure it was mentioned but no mask for stone! Good sign. 
    Maybe because it's outdoors? Who knows.

    I am happy to take the ticket if still available. I am supposed to get some NFT ticket with the PJ MSG drop ticket I got but nobody has reached out from TM- shocking.

    I'm sure I've said this before, but as a kid growing up in Philly I thought Dr. J was actually a doctor, as well as a superstar 76er.

    I also thought every big city had their own cream cheese.

    2 days later, I'm still somewhat in a state of disbelief over what i experienced on Wednesday night.  As a late in life fan who got totally immersed in PJ 3 years ago, I worried that I'd never get to experience a live show.  Joined 10C in 2019 and somehow, lightning struck and I "won the lottery" - getting PIT seats for Camden in the 10C ticket draw.  Flew from Denver to Philly and met my son, who took the train down from NYC.  Managed to get center PIT, between MM and EV about 10 feet back.  Wow, what an incredible experience and night I'll never forget.  I brought a two-sided sign with "It's OK" on the front and "Esta Bien" on the back, really hoping to hear that tag on Daughter.   Seeing them start to play Daughter seated, with Ed not having a guitar, I realized it wasn't possible, but apparently Ed saw the sign as he threw in a couple of "Esta Bien" lines on the brief tag at the end.    Other highlights for me, - got a MM guitar pick and the IJ -SOLAT-Breath-Crazy Mary string was just incredible.   Great to meet a ton of OG 10C'ers in the crowd and an eternal thanks to the band for a night of my life!

    I gotta say my "singing along" with the Even Flows and Alives is a little bit perfunctory whereas the Leashes & Inside Jobs send me into uncontrollable screaming - sorry to the guys in front of me - actually not sorry they can go to hell.

    I agree. My participation is slightly forced sometimes on those songs.

    I was trying to hold back my expectations after four years of anticipation since my last show, but Camden blew me away.  Seeing Mike and Matt pop up for different tracks during Josh's set and it being a very pleasant night along the river set the stage for a special show.  Hearing  Wash, Oceans and Hard to Imagine (first HTI for me!) in just the first handful of songs alone made the night already right there.  I did have to adjust my ears a bit for some of the down tuned faster ones but they were performed as fierce as ever.  Loved it.   Retrograde was fantastic although the crowd was more in listening mode for that one.  And Ed took some not so subtle shots at Elon Musk before Quick Escape saying something to the effect of why are all these resources going toward getting to Mars when only the rich will get to go if Earth goes under.  I think far and away Whoever Said got the strongest Gigaton reaction with a loud cheer greeting the band after that thunderous second half/outro.  Also that encore 2 I believe was the best of '22.  Great song selection and execution.   And holy cow that place has a huge lawn.  I was near the back of the seated section and It was really impressive to turn around and  see all the hands in the air during Alive

    First visit to Philly and I hit up Dirty Franks (an ancient dive bar) for a beer and a shirt and  Angelo's Pizzeria for their killer sandwiches.  Recommend both places.  Also the ferry to Camden was really easy, recommend buying a ticket ahead of time on your phone.

    Awesome story!  I noticed that in the Daughter tag, so cool that was for you!

    I was on the rail by the steps by Mike where he and Ed would come over a lot. The venue security guard told me and again these are his words, that the band wanted to go on around 8:45 but there was some wiring/electrical problem on Mike's side of the stage and that is what caused the delay
    This is very intriguing to me, because I was on Mike’s side of the stage and something was very wrong with the sound from his guitar. Much more feedback than usual (this was my tenth show) and a constant high pitch or squealing sound. Did anybody else notice this? Set list was fantastic but something was off with the sound.
    I was towards the back of section 204 (mike's side) and also found the audio quality to be poor, unfortunately. Very little clarity in the mid range led to Mike and Stone's guitar parts being very hard to discern from one another and caused the overall mix to sound quite muddy. Drums also sounded distorted, almost electronic. Definitely could have been a problem stemming from the PA on that side. I'm glad to hear that so many had such an awesome experience, but for me, the audio quality where I was standing kept me from becoming fully immersed. Regardless, awesome setlist and hugely positive experience and I'm so glad I could attend!

    Yeah, agree on the sound quality. I was on the lawn and something was off. For the first 1/3 of the set, Stone's guitar was really low in the mix. And something was off with the tone of his and Mike's guitar--kinda muddy like you mentioned. Flip side is Jeff and Ed's instruments both sounded great...or maybe they should just stood out more with the issues I was hearing with the other guys.

    Was it just me, but I am convinced I heard Mike's Sabbath War Pigs tag at the end of Alive.

    Last show for me this run and was pleasantly surprised - appreciation goes out to Rich and his son for rewarding us with a solid setlist. A little concerned given everything I’ve read over the years but couldn’t have felt safer in and around the venue. GA was certainly small and packed tight but found a nice spot. Thank you Camden.

    Pre-concert sight seeing down on South Street in Philly I walked past this place and did a double take....have heard Ed talk a lot about JC Dobbs, but could this be it? 


    Sure enough, sounds like the place has been re-opened under a new name - "The Legendary Dobbs"....

    Awesome show. Great way to end out my trifecta of PJ shows this tour.  The event staff was fantastic. From organizing the multiple line moves, great conversations while waiting, taking photos for us (with multiple photobombs and selfies), to providing cold water to the pit during the show. Only felt unsafe once while walking back to my rides car. But that was on him. He chose to park about a block outside of where he should have! 

    Loved this set.  So many gems.  Wash, ocean, hard to imagine, SOLAT, Breath, Deep… I agree with the poorly placed retrograde comments above, but it didn’t make me think any less of this show.  Forgot how much I like Mind your Manners. That song kicks ass. 

    I met up with friends who I have been seeing shows with since 2003. Then met some of you on here for the first time.  @lmckenney24 @1@100pacer @g@GlowGirl @r@RatherStarved Was great meeting you all and spending some time in line together. 

    Few photos from the night taken from the Pit…

    can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?

    Great meeting you as well. Hope to hang out again. Awesome photos. I have some good ones as well. I see the side of my blonde head - hair blowing in the fan breeze in this last one :) .
