You should have stepped back to 122 S-V 🤣HailHailVitalogy said:Thought the band was on fire coming off MSG and Philly but the crowd was lame. Maybe it was just my section? I gave it all my energy in the main set to show the band my appreciation for how hard they were playing. Section 122/123 row L….no one knew any words. People sitting. Some guy threw up and cleared out 2 rows of people. At least 8 people in front of me snuck into GA. Eddie: “looks like the left side is doing better than the right” 💯 Again, band was fantasticRandall's Island 9/29/96, Continental Arena 9/8/98, MSG 9/10/98, Jones Beach 8/23/00, 8/24/00, 8/25/00, Nassau Coliseum 4/30/03, MSG 7/8/03, 7/9/03, Continental Arena 6/1/06, 6/3/06, MSG 6/24/08, 6/25/08, Spectrum 10/30/09, 10/31/09, MSG 5/20/10, 5/21/10, PJ20 9/3/11, 9/4/11, Charlottesville 10/29/13, Charlotte 10/30/13, Global Citizen 9/26/15, Raleigh 4/20/16 Baltimore 3/28/20 Austin 9/18/23, 9/19/23, Forum 5/21/24, Baltimore 9/12/24, Fenway 9/17/24, Nashville 5/6/25, 5/8/250 -

The sign was obnoxiously large and blocking people's views in GA, so that whole thing was very satisfying. He put the sign down and it was never seen again. LOLschaefferlax said:
Interesting to hear Ed dismiss the Blood request last night - I think we can officially consider that one retired
I had considered making a SAD sign but that validated that it was better not to.Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25

That was me!!!!dreamtonic said:Shout out to hero fan that gave Jeff an Earl the Pearl jersey (Baltimore Bullets). What a genius gift - he was so happy. Eddie got a matching windbreaker/pullover. They wore them during final encore and bow.
And the band stopped Alive for all the right reasons. GA fan, medical… needed to get out to take a breather. Ed patiently made sure they were okay, said there was no need to apologize, … playfully added that the fan did really great making it that far in the show because he saw way bigger guys in Philly’s GA go down in the opener….

Thanks for the reminder. I remember thinking in the moment that it sounded odd, like I didn’t notice him not do the end of black, so when I heard that part, I wondered if he did forget and just forced it in after the band had already moved on. But interesting that he actually just sang it twice. Looking forward to hearing that again on the bootleg.HailHailVitalogy said:Just got reminded about Eddie re-singing the end of black as the tag…thought it was great, he was smiling after0 -

Night 1 03 especially. I disliked that set so much from a song standpoint cause it was a major greatest hits one BUT its was undeniable how hot the crowd and band was.

            I was at Philly 2 and Baltimore. The Baltimore crowd was strong, great energy, and one helluva show from PJ. That said, it wasn't even close to the energy in Philly on Monday night. No shade, its just what I saw and heard and felt. I can't think of many shows I've been to by anyone that had the energy of Philly 2. So when I hear folks say Saturday was even HIGHER, I can't even imagine. FWIW I live in DC, so no Philadelphia bias here. I was also at the Ten show, and tbh, I'm not sure the crowd that night reached the intensity of Monday. And you all know how wild that one was.0

I was at both 2016 Philly shows too, and IDK if it's recency bias, but Philly 1 this year seemed better.Douglas12373 said:I was at Philly 2 and Baltimore.

Yeah Philly 03 was something else. And of course the crowd at MSG 03 was just as loud. The crowd intensity from 98-2003 in the northeast has not been matched anywhere in the US since imo.superfuzz30 said:PJammin' said:

It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire.
