Last night was a great night, and I'm glad my wife was with me for N2 as opposed to N1. (last night was a better setlist for her, whereas N1 was right up my alley)
Elderly to lead off and Evenflow in the 2 hole were great; OG Corduroy, Save You, Not for You & Waiting for Stevie were the highlights for me.
Having said all that, I guess I'm in the minority in that I enjoyed N1 more. Both sets were fun, but not only did N1 have more surprises, but N2 had more momentum killers (NGL, Present Tense was a kick in the nuts when I was expecting MFC after Untitled [have they done that before? Untitled -> PT?])
Fuckin' Up in the main set before Porch was odd; and Patriot -> Fall Slow didn't do much to pick it back up for me. It's nit-picky, I know, but I would prefer to hear some PJ songs there. I can't complain too much about the covers though, it was the longest set of the tour, and A for effort in that regard.
Last night was also MUCH louder than N1, which surprised me as I was in the pit Sunday and 4 rows behind the Sox dugout last night (I have to think the sound from those hanging speakers went right over me 3 nights ago). Sound was also a bit muffled at times, but that's what you get at the stadium shows, unfortunately.
All in all, it was a great two night stand. The band is in great form, and seem to be having a blast at every show I saw this year. These last few shows I saw definitely seem like a return to pre-Covid form, which was really nice to see.
Thanks for coming back to Boston, fellas. (please come back to the Garden next time... Arenas >>>>>>> Stadiums )

27 to 29 really should be the normal0 -

There’s so many PJ songs EV can do solo in that spot. Sucks it’s the same 2-3 covers or just breathe. All that aside, this leg has been pretty aweseom.0

Merkin Baller said:I would take Baba over RITFW all day every day - Patriot hits me in the feels for dumb reasons, but I've also heard it several times. Not sure why Ed doesn't join Glenn during the opening set as opposed to PJ's set, but maybe the rest of the band enjoys the break, IDK.
This leg has totally renewed my faith in them. The setlists may be shorter, but Philly 1 & both Fenway shows showed me they can still bring it.0 -

certain!

Spartanacus said:Looks like a great show, but I'm going with one of the Seattle shows as my download as they had the most Dark Matter songs.
BTW, I'm not sure why Sea, Pearl Jam, and others don't refer to 'Untitled' as 'Red Dot' or at least 'Untitled/Red Dot.'
Because obviously the 'Got a Car Improv' was released as 'Untitled' on Live on Two Legs.
So there are errors in the Discography/Songs stats as they're both melded into one song in the stat count, which is incorrect.
I suggest formerly naming them 'Red Dot (instrumental)' and 'Untitled (Got a Car improv).'
Did they play Red Dot last night? I thought that has never been played.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

Incredible, emotional version of Untitled and a nice surprise moving into Present Tense (as much as I love MFC). Great synergy between the guys--it's so fun to see them enjoying each other after all this time. Stone was really on one. Unthought was a great upper and the crowd responded. Loved Fuckin Up in the first set, also Save You is such a great live song. High energy from start to end. Maybe someday they'll bring back an electric Parting Ways set-ender but I have no complaints. An honor to see these guys! and did not take it for granted.0

My 3 show DM run has ended. I truly wish I got to do a run with them every year. It’s such a rush and I love hearing everyone’s experience through these boards. 4 show run through Texas last year and NYC/BOS this year has been a blast. I have to assume there won’t be much on the road next year from them, if any at all. I definitely don’t take these lightly as I know at some point, sooner than later, this will come to an end. I’m sure we’ll always have EV out there touring but the entire band? I would guess not. But what do I know. Last night was great! I love Untitled but to think I was so close to I’m Open…😣. Seats felt a little better from N1. Hopefully 10c can get a better allotment because behind that net with the infield open space still makes for a disconnect. Crowd felt louder than N1 and that full moon was just stunning. I feel so honored to have seen all 6 Fenway shows. I know a lot of folks hate the venue for music but it’s still so cool to hear your favorite band and then look at the facade or see the Citgo sign and just get tingles all over. As a guy originally from Texas, after over a decade of coming to this great ballpark for games and shows, I still have to pinch myself that I get to frequent this place. It’s special. I don’t care what anyone says. I’m glad merch felt easier these last few years. Seems prints are easier to grab, which is all I really buy. Not sure if less folks are buying them or if they are making more but I’m glad they are readily available with a little effort. Those have become my ticket stubs, stickers too. Can’t speak to clothing since I don’t get that stuff anymore. I have enough hats/shirts. But I couldn’t pass up some PJ Red Socks because well duh. They’ll be great for opening day next year. Over all band and team are doing an amazing job on these tours and I’m appreciative to continue to get to be a part of it. I can’t wait to do it all again soon. Although I expect a little break next year. Thank you PJ and 10c. It’s been another great tour! ✌🏽

What Boston song was tagged during YL? Recognized but it was too short to name in the moment.
