Anyone else not have that FOMO feeling anymore while this band is on the DM tour?

    I wish they played more DM. I'm going to be bummed if I don't hear all of the songs over all of my shows.
    Me too. I have one more chance to hear Won't Tell (Missoula) and I will be bummed to miss it. 

    I moved out of the Northeast a few years ago and where I live now is not as convenient. Traveling has gotten more expensive overall so as much as I would never miss Fenway (or Wrigley really) I'm going to have to this year.

    I really don't get why Won't Tell and Got to Give don't get played more.

    Would have been the only thing I would have changed from the 3 Euro arena shows. Really wanted to hear Won’t Tell

    I have heavy FOMO. Largely by missing out on London. More so than ever actually. I think I have a deep passion for pretty much every son from Ten through to Binaural, and I have perceived PJ in the 2010s-2020s as just being wonderful to see, but expecting a gradual tail off of albums. 

    Dark Matter came. It's my favourite album by anyone of the past 15 years. Nothing would give me more FOMO than if they played the whole of Dark Matter all the way through.

    My expectaction is that in the next tour (which will not be an alubm tour) all those wanting rarities will get more rarities. Unfortunately it might mean I never get to see Got To Give. I desperately hope Scared of Fear, Wreckage, Upper Hand, Waiting for Stevie, Setting Sun become 'hits' that stay in rotation. But I'm worried they'll fall away like Binaural songs did.

    Anyone sitting on the fence should just book tickets. Was disappointed with Manchester but just returned from two great shows in Barcelona. They sounded fantastic. 
    I really wish I could go to Madrid or Lisbon, but I have been away for work 2-3 times this month and I can't justify to myself leaving my 2-year old for a trip to a gig. I prefer to put Wreckage on loud and dance with him. I will have to wait till next time (in a perfect world, PJ are still around in 5-6 years and I take him).

    It's the baseball stadiums for me.  Absolutely zero FOMO when it comes to those shows.  Nope not traveling to a baseball stadium and that goes for any artist not just PJ.

    It used to be the opposite for me but after Fenway in 2018 I had my fill. Wont be doing any of those this year. 

    That said though.

    Wrigley 13 + N2 2016
    Fenway N2 2016
    Wrigley N2 2016  
    Seattle N2 2018 

    All of these shows where next level.

    There have been great shows (Camden 2022 and a couple from USA Tour 2023 most notably) since Covid, but I dont think we have had a true FOMO show since before 2020

    Shows I can drive to and Saturday night shows is my new PJ model.  No more taking vacation days to spend time traveling unless I have another purpose (Vegas this year for me, turned it into a family trip.)  The Sphere in 2025 could bring us our first post-covid FOMO shows due to venue more than setlist, though.

    Had to Google fomo. I'm good and glad for those that still get their minds blown. Maybe someday I'll get back in on the action. ❤️

    Having now had London x 2, Vienna and Prague cancelled in the last few years in future I'll only be travelling to cities I've never or rarely visited so to see a new place as well as the show. So Berlin for example doubt I'll go again and before this Berlin would have been a FOMO show

    Honestly, no. Maybe I'm getting old. Having traveled a lot for this band, I'm pretty good with missing out with ticket prices where they are, stings of cancellations, and post-covid travel complexities. If they choose to play close to me, which isn't a huge possibility, then I'll hit the show. For now, I can purchase the entire tour and listen to it when I want to. 

    I still love this band and I hate that this is where I'm at, but I'm not losing any sleep over it.

    I'll always have a little bit of FOMO as I follow the setlist from each show. Indy was a bit of a turning point for me last year. Me and two friends flew up from LA (lower Alabama) we did Pumpkins the night before and TopGolf the morning before the show was supposed to happen but it still sucked pretty bad when the show cancelled. In 2022, I took my son to his first show in Nashville and again last year to Fort Worth. So my priorities have shifted a bit from chasing shows to planning shows with my son and have him chase songs he wants to hear. We are doing Baltimore this year so PJ/Bruce/Weezer back to back so if something happens we have plans to fall back on. I have been to 16 shows and have been blessed to see that many. I will never take a tour year off but will scale back the number of shows I try to attend.

    This was the first year I skipped large Seattle shows since 1998 (I didn't go the first Memorial Stadium show, the 2nd one was my first PJ show in Seattle).    There were two shows in Vancouver. Unlike previous years the Seattle shows were an the opposite end of the leg of the tour, and in the middle of the week.  The costs of going to Vancouver, coming back, then taking a week off to go to Seattle, and more costs, didn't really work out.

    I had a little Fomo going, but in the end the only thing I felt I missed out on was the cover of Hurt.

    At this point I think I'm 31 shows in.  Not nearly as many as people on this board, but I feel it's a lot.   I've had the fortune of hearing a lot of deep cuts and rarities. Aside from unexpected covers, the odds of me getting a deep bside or rare cut I haven't gotten before seem slim to none.

    They sound great on this tour, but with so many new songs, playing a handful of hits/staples, and shorter sets... there's not much time left go that deep in the catalog. I feel like I'm on a hangover from the 2013-2018 shows.    3 hour+ barn burners where I knocked off an insane amount of white whales.

    I don't regret not going to Seattle this time around.  The two shows in Vancouver satiated my PJ appetite for this year. I got to hear all of the new album except 1 song.  It was great.    Maybe it's the fact I got two in Vancouver, and not 1, that reduced my fomo of not going to Seattle.  I really only need 2 (maybe 3) shows every couple of years and I'm good.    Anymore than that and I feel I start taking it for granted (get bored of hearing some of the heavily repeated songs).

    I do think some it has to do with promoting a new album.   I got to hear most of the songs twice.   If it's a bit until the next album, and they do some non-album tours again, they'd be able to flesh out the catalog more.   There's things I love about album tours, and there's things I love when they tour without a new album. I probably get fomo more in the latter because the setlists get the chance to go deeper into the catalog.

    Of course had they played Who You Are in Seattle, my FOMO would of been off the charts :)

    Hear hear! I did the first Wrigley, 16/18 Fenway and then 18 Safeco, 18 Missoula.  I got em all.  I am passing up on Fenway this year.

    had FOMO at the beginning off the tour. Now not paying as close attention as in the past. It's 100% the set list for me. I know I know, we are lucky they still play and all that, and I agree. I just feel the set list are safe. Now everyone is looking for one or two rarity's and getting all stoked about it and saying wow, awesome set list tonight! 80% is predictable, 15 % is a group of semi rare and maybe one rare, maybe. I get the whole age thing too. The last time I was at a show with a crazy set list was the 2018 Home Shows. Look those shows up and compare. huge difference, to me anyway. But, because of the love I have for them, of course Ill see a couple more shows this tour haha.

    I think the setlists being a little too formulaic is probably the main culprit.  Every show seems to be a small variant of the same show so if you went to one you feel like you pretty much caught a similar experience as every other show.  There’s yet to be that one show that stands out far above the others.  And if you are in a 2 show city, night 2 becomes even more predictable.  Didn’t hear Black, Courduroy, Small Town, RITFW on night 1? Well you know what’s taking up a few slots in night 2.  Then with DM taking up 7-8 spots in the same order, and Alive, Evenflow, and DTE played almost every show you pretty much know the whole set by night 2.  The PJ magic was always that you never knew what you were going to get night after night.  They’ve strayed a little too far from that magic.  Should still play 6-7 DM songs but should be mixing them up better.

    I was kind of thinking this just the past weekend while I was comparing some of the YouTube live songs from Minneapolis and Chicago from 2023 and then watched some of Barcelona and Seattle songs from 2024. Something seemed a little off for this year. Could not put my finger on it. They still sound great and I LOVE the new album, but they seemed to have more energy last year. The setlists for both 2023 and 2024 are around 25 songs a night so it wasn't the band is more tired this year. Just seems like something is a little off. Maybe I need to stop sniffing glue. 

    Still looking forward to both Wrigley shows! Maybe I'll quit amphetamines that week as well.  
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    Will always be my favorite band but zero fomo these days.  I had a nice run of sixty plus shows but the days of traveling for them are over.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    It’ll come down to MSG and the baseball stadium
    shows for me. If they are north of 25 songs and they really change it up then we’ll know they’re still capable of epic nights. If they don’t, then the best case scenario going forward for us is like Vegas 1 or those ‘23 sets.
