    I’m glad everyone enjoyed it, but that one just didn’t do it for me.

    Setlist was incredible - Pendulum, Betterman, Immortality opening was so unexpected and a great way to start!  Getting to hear the new songs live was really great - they all fit in perfectly.  Upperhand feels like they have been playing it for 20 years - felt like something off of Binaural live and it was really incredible.  Personally, Out of My Mind,  LBC, Unthought Known and Indifference made this show go down as one of the best I have seen in a while.  I agree about the shorter time on stage - I definitely miss the 3+ hour shows, but they still play with som much energy and Ed's voice sounded incredible.  It was definitely the Mike McCready jam night - he was en fuego!  Can't wait for tonight!

    Fantastic night. That’s as good as it gets during this era.Black was absolutely insane and Upper Hand was my favorite of the new stuff. 

    Inside job seems like I follow me around so I could’ve done without it and I appreciate EV digging deep but that’s my second OOMM and Im good on it. 

    I stand firm on the screen being absolutely useless. The visuals are meh at best, even the quality doesn’t seem great. It’s such a lesser feel in the room without them surrounded. 

    Also I do think 3 new ones in a row were a bit too much. I LOVE the songs I just think it’s a tough ask of the crowd in this point in their career. I’m not sure I’d rate this over 2022 though , which is  what’s fair to compare it to. 

    Technically they were incredible. Never cease to amaze me. All of them blew my mind last night. My voice was gone after Betterman, I don’t know how EV does it

    I thought the show was fire!  The band had massive amounts of energy and McCready was stunning in his solos!  Great MSG show for me.  Cannot wait to do it again tonight.

    Loved every second!  Highlights were betterman at #2 immortality, satans bed, LBC, inside job.  I loved all of the DM songs but upper hand was just stunning.  Such a perfect PJ song and I agree that they sound like they’ve been playing it forever.  It was my 25th and my daughter’s 3rd.  She has seen outta my mind 2 of the 7 times it’s ever been played!  So funny! Of all of the possible openers though I was surprised to get pendulum. I’ve now seen that one 8 times.  No complaints though.  It’s an awesome song.  Was really hoping to get of the girl at some point among the MSG and Philly shows.  Not sure that’s happening since they played it at wrigley. Overall so much fun last night.  Mike was amazing and Eddie really does sound great!  I was tired after jumping and dancing all show but all of them were running around, up and down the stage steps, on the speakers, jump down, bouncing and dancing all while playing/singing.  AND they are all several years older than I am.  Thankful for my own and their health!

    Same. Haven’t missed an MSG show in over 25 years and caught the two LA shows from this tour as well. Last night was my probably my least favorite show of all time. That was def NOT high energy for an MSG show and the set list construction didn’t help. Hoping everyone brings it tonight so we can make the floor shake like the good old days!

    Great fun post covid show! The new songs sounded fantastic especially running!  My biggest complaint was a beer was $23! Plenty of merch to go around.  See everyone tonight.

    I agree with a lot of this. Other than GTF, which was an all-time highlight, Black was the other standout for me. 

    The Fear-React-Wreckage block didn’t bother me because I was expecting it (and it wasn’t nearly as bad an idea as the Gigaton block that opened their first post-pandemic show), but I could have gone for one more banger (a Go or an Animal or what have you) after Immortality. 

    From the other comments here I think this was just a situation where I was in the wrong part of the crowd. I wasn’t really feeling the energy much outside of a couple of spots (and felt the floor bounce only rarely and lightly). It wasn’t a bad show by any means, but I don’t have it in the same class as ‘22. 

    Tonight will probably be a classic.

    The crowd absolutely brought it during the hits and even satans bed but yea, 3 new ones in a row OOMM didn’t help. A good thing was I felt EV banter was there but not overlong or tedious.

    The anticipation and buzz in the building for 2022 was light years ahead of last night. There was something different that night imo.

    I 100% agree on this.  It has the early Apple iTunes vibes and is totally useless.  Plus it takes away a good 5-7k seats.

    Controversial opinion probably but it was my first time in the pit at MSG. I preferred having seats in 2022. Drunk dudes shoving past people during all my favorite moments, the people behind me would not stop having a convo the entire show and were so close to me I could hear every word. Mostly just heard the crowd singing (poorly) and not the band - again the dudes behind me were shouting incredibly loudly when they weren’t talking about something totally unrelated to the show that was 5 feet in front of them. I think I actually like a bit of distance from some of these elements. Was cool to see the band having such a good time at the Garden up close! Looking forward to having an actual solid listening experience from my seats tonight lol. Didn’t hold a candle to 2018 or 2022 to me but I imagine others would rate it highly.

    Wow what can I say that would describe tonight, just perfect I guess sums it up

    had a great day in general, fun being 3rd row in the pit, love this city and what it offers to moving the cultural needle… and tonight’s show was very deep in variety and scope… can’t wait for tomorrow 

    thank u thank u thank u for playing indifference… needed to hear it, it was a great way to put a bow on tonight…. NYC never looked or felt better! Great weather! Great people! 

    Thank you

    Damn it feels like we must have been standing next to each other because I was four people back in the same orientation.  I wonder if your head is in all my pictures haha

    Definitely the best post Covid PJ show I’ve seen including msg 22
    That’s interesting.  I thought 22 was insane and maybe the loudest I’ve heard there.  But tonight’s set (and my seats) were better so impossible to pick a favorite for me there

    $23 beers was a beautiful thing. It kept me and my buddy James sober all night! 
    Didn't see one falling down obnoxious drunk, including myself, all night. My friend and I usually throw money around like drunken sailors, but not last night. 
    $23 beers? HAHAHAHAHA
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
