Amazing show! Was second row at the corner of the mini-extended center stage on Jeff and Mike’s side. Eddie handed me his lighter, my son got a pick from Eddie and we each got one from Mike and we both got a signed Polaroid from Mike at the end. And i handed Eddie a bracelet honoring my cousins who have passed away during Yellow Ledbetter and he put it on. Just unbelievable night. Here’s some of the pics i got.

wow! great stuff

This confirms ed still smokes . Just to put that one to bed

Maybe giving away his lighter was him quitting? 😂

Great show. Pit was way too tight though. 

More later. 

Yeah, I was in Sect A, Row N and people were standing in the walkway going down to the pit. Not sure if they had pit tickets or if security just said "F it" and let them stand there. Made it a PITA to get in/out of the row for a restroom break. I got there when Glen was about two songs in, and the pit already looked like a can of sardines. People did not look comfortable. But agree...awesome show and lots of audience interaction. So glad I was able to attend. Now it's off to Wrigley Thursday night!

I was one of the people overflowing out of the Pit. I definitely had Pit tickets, a wrist band and the guy at the entrance was doing everything he could. I did not see one person in front or beside me that didn't have a Pit wrist band. 

Also, as you know from sitting in the pavilion, everyone had to have a wrist band to even get under the pavilion. So unless you looked around and saw empty seats (which I didn't), I don't believe people were rushing the Pit area. 

I just think they oversold it unfortunately.  

This was my first show of the tour after London and Berlin were cancelled. I was so excited to be there. I had rail right in front of Jeff. I thought the setlist was great. For the new songs, I am not a fan of Wreckage, but loved Running and Scared of Fear. Setting Sun live is so beautiful it almost made me cry. I could hear that for every show. Some people didn’t like Lightning Bolt. I really like that song and hadn’t heard it in a while - so that was fun for me. The band seemed happy and most importantly healthy. Ed didn’t seem to be as out of breath as I have seen at some shows. While he did talk a bit - he also kept the talking comparatively at a minimum. They all seemed so happy to be there. I also got a tambourine during Baba (Maybe because I was wearing a WHO shirt). Also got some Mike picks and a signed Polaroid. Can’t wait for MSG.

Awesome photos. You were right behind me. 

Yeah i recognize you from your profile pic. You got great shots too! I cheat and bring in a pocket-sized but high quality point and shoot camera, those are really good phone pics!
Were you the one that got the tambourine that bounced off the security guy’s head?

Nice idea to use a point and shoot. That was me! Before that, Ed acknowledged my shirt and gave a tambourine to the security guard and pointed at me - but a kid ran up and security guard gave it to the kid. The guard said to me - "it was a kid - what was I supposed to do?" Right after that another one comes whipping my way and bounced off the security guard's head. Luckily I was able to catch that one myself.

Wrist band for pavilion was not required. You could get one if didnt want to keep showing phone/ticket. 

I purposely took this pic because I don't ever remember seeing all three guys playing a tele at the same time.   In fact, I believe Mike's red tele may be new gear because I have never seen that one before.  As a gear hound, I just thought this was cool.

I was standing right behind you and that tambourine was coming in fast and Ed missed it, I thought it was going to hit me in the face before you caught it LOL.  Great show, everybody around us in the pit was on good behavior, giving each other room, letting that kid make his way up to the front to interact with Ed.  Awesome show after sitting out in the heat all day.

@JD87070 I was right in front of you in the GA line all day in the blue hat.  When you finally got Mike's attention and he realized you were also wearing a Stooge's shirt he got such a big kick out of it, that was awesome.  Congrats on the lighter!

Hard to say if I'm overrating the show just because it was our first time in GA but Vitalogy is my 2nd favorite album so getting all of those were a great start.  I'd agree that Wreckage was really the only time if felt like a little bit of a lull but I was expecting 5-6 songs from the new album so not a big deal.  The band seemed to be in very good spirits and appreciating the crowd.  Only wish our daughter could have made it to the show since she was in the GA line with us last year when the show was cancelled but it was her first day of college so couldn't make it work, bringing her to Wrigley though.

Seemed like Glen cut his set short because none of his guitars would stay in tune.  He was constantly retuning between every song and even while playing and think he finally just gave up on it, the humidity probably wasn't helping with that.

Can't wait to see them again on Saturday, after that experience I wish we had GA again LOL

On Wreckage...I actually loved it live in Vegas 2.  In Indy it didn't have the same impact.  I think it's a smaller arena song and not amphitheater song.  That said Dark Matter (the song) sounded way better in Indy than Vegas 2.  

Yeah, it takes a while to build to the great part.  Like Setting Sun.

Hi Doug!
Yeah we were definitely around great people all day in line and in the pit. Was a really enjoyable experience overall, although it could’ve been a little cooler.
