    Mike 'The New Ten Fingers of Doom" McCready was awesome.  The rest of the show was disjointed.  Not helped by the fact Ed chunked some songs. To quote Eddie from a long ago bootleg:  "Less talking', more rockin'".  I hate that I have to call this out, but man, that just wasn't  very good.

    My favorite Black since 2016. Mike was awesome.
    Complete agreement.  “Challenge” from Eddie was for Evenflow but he really answered for Black; extended and melting of faces etc ….

    Great show don’t get me wrong. This after Indy was disappointing. A lot of the same stuff in the same order. 
    The start of the show was amazing and LOVE the new songs, but playing so many in a row like they have been, it seemed to kill all the vibes around me and a lot of people seemed to not get back into it again. It was weird. More people = more casual fans maybe? 
    I had a blast but maybe the most off Wrigley show yet. Maybe just a bad section, it’ll happen 
    You're right.  No good vibes.  A lot of people that were just there to 'be there'.  After Ed said 'this is for the serious collector', half my row sat down.  And I was in the 8th row of section Q.  What the fuck?

    I felt like I had a mix of ten club people, plus people who hate music altogether near me.

    The bigger the venue, the wider the audience, I suppose. 

    But overall the band was outstanding, and most of the crowd was good.

    I thought it was a great show. Down on the field the energy was good and I was pleasantly surprised that people were singing along with the new stuff. I absolutely love Release because I think Ed's voice is so impressive on this one and he sounds fantastic in general. Off He Goes is always great, and I love the guitar solo on Immortality. Same goes for the guitar on Black, I can't get enough. There's a few I could go without like Elderly.. and Daughter but the crowd interaction still makes them fun. The only time I saw people around me sitting was during Setting Sun, but I thank at that point some were just tired.

    I think I was pretty clear.

    What a fantastic set. The opening was on fire. Loved the Betterman fake intro into Corduroy. 
    Great shot!  📸🔥

    This is funny...and shows you how all people have opinions.  I didn't go to this show, but have seen all these songs live before and on paper I don't like the 1st set and love the encore. But you have to be there.

    I would say the encore was too quick if anything. Not dreadful. The band isn’t doing the same shows they were, but this newer set style is tight and flows well. 29-30 honestly can be alot if the show isn’t top notch. 24-26 songs seems to suit the band and these guys have already stated that they changed it to prolong their touring ability.

    The main set looks awesome to me under new expectations. Seems like a good balance of slow , rarities, new songs , and classics. I think we’ve all had to adjust our expectations, unfortunately. And yes, you definitely have to be there.
