    I remember before 2016 and Fenway was like a dream setting for them to play (for New Englanders at least) And then it happened and it was great. Then 2018 came and yeah, still cool, but maybe we can get back to TD (or even Worcester again lol)? And here we are 8 years later and Fenway has been the only show in town.  

    I had an absolute blast these last two shows. My daughter's first PJ show night 1. I was in GA for night 2. Incredible. But I really want to get back to a Boston/New England arena show.  Let's make it happen in 2026.

    Yup... from a business perspective, it doesn't make sense to play a 19k capacity arena when you can sell out a stadium in the same town that holds twice as many people.

    Exactly. And they have a good relationship with the Sox front office, so both sides win. I think the best we can hop for is that they play two nights at Fenway, and 1 night somewhat nearby, but not in Boston. Worcester might be "too close", but maybe Hartford? I'd suggest Gilford, NH, where Dave Matthews plays every summer, but the logistics don't make sense for the band. I'll keep getting tickets for Fenway because it's the most local for us, and easiest to get tickets (especially when they play after Labor Day), but the prospect of the ONLY shows in the area being there definitely increase my desire to travel and see them in other parts of the country.

    First show in 6 years and it was a great one. Crowd was incredible, shout out to section 59/60, no obnoxious drunks or drama, everyone was having a blast.
    As much as I'd love to see them at the Garden or Great Woods, Fenway and the Red Sox hold a special place in my heart. PJ x Fenway is just too perfect. And that moon, holy shit! Can't wait to see some professional photos of the show published.
    Aside from the new songs off the last 2 albums, Present Tense and Once were the only new songs for me and such a treat. Fuckin Up in the main set was a ripper and Unthought in the encore just felt perfect.
    Thank you PJ, until we meet again!

    Yeah... I can't imagine NOT seeing them at Fenway when they play there - I live too damn close, but I'm glad I made the run down to Philly for one of the arena shows. It's a day / night difference between the two types of venues; there's really no comparison.

    Yeah, we were in Baltimore on Thursday, then the Fenway shows, and we had a blast at all three shows, but definitely different vibes.

    Been to all six Fenway shows and this was definitely near or at the top. The weather was perfect and the crowd was awesome.The whole band sounds so tight and the new songs flow perfectly in the set. Immortality, Present Tense and Fuckin' Up were highlights for me. Also pretty cool to hear Untitled. I feel like they could have squeezed ONE more song in before that 10:30 cutoff, but it would have been tight. Overall, I thought the set was great.

    Kind of a weird moment toward the end of the show. Theo came down to the pit during the encore with Sam Kennedy, David Ross and others. I shook Theo's hand and said thanks for making this happen. I snapped a pic of them and he gave me the finger and told me to "fuck off" which was...unexpected. But he did once dress up in a gorilla suit to avoid press and on at least 2 occasions wear a wig, hat and mustache to Boston PJ shows to go unrecognized so clearly he prefers being incognito.

    Also as a side note, I am going on 2 years sober and these were my first PJ shows in my life not drinking and it's strange to admit, but I was kind of nervous about it. But wow, I actually enjoyed it so much more. Not having to worry about bathroom breaks, getting another round, getting home, spending money. I just focused solely on the music which made the night so good.

    Glad you had fun! I have found the shows are always so much better without drinking. The memories are so much clearer, too.

    Theo was shitfaced drunk, no doubt. Spilled some of his beer onto my shoulder and the rest onto the ground right behind me. Annoying, but a funny story to tell going forward.

    Fenway N2 there was a guy standing in the aisle the entire night next to my wife & kept trying to talk to us for no other reason than I guess that's what he does. 

    I didn't tell him off per se, but after the 3rd time of me annoyingly asking "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" he left us alone and proceeded to talk to the people behind him... I had to plug my left ear to drown out their yelling over the music. This was 10C seating mind you. 

    Shut the f up & watch the show, people. 


    BTW - Great pic, Jimmy.

    I’ll never understand people on so many levels. But yapping loudly over songs at a concert….. it just drives me absolutely insane.

    My general feeling is that people don't realize how disruptive they're being or how loud they even are until it happens to them. Set talkers ruined this tour for me. Literally all 4 shows I went to... May not ever see this band perform again if this is to be the norm and I can't even tune into what's happening on stage. I spoke up to the people behind me at this one, but was literally shaking from the confrontation I had with them. I was straight up ready to put my hands up and take a punch if it meant security would take them out and I could hear the band finally. Waited 2 years for this? SMH.

    LOL!  That's me with my arms crossed, side-eyeing Sam Kennedy.  Those guys came in hot during the encore. They got right in front of myself and another couple. They were being a little douchey until a woman next to me basically told them to fuck off and get away because they were killing the vibe lol.  Good times

    Been to all six Fenway shows and this was definitely near or at the top. The weather was perfect and the crowd was awesome.The whole band sounds so tight and the new songs flow perfectly in the set. Immortality, Present Tense and Fuckin' Up were highlights for me. Also pretty cool to hear Untitled. I feel like they could have squeezed ONE more song in before that 10:30 cutoff, but it would have been tight. Overall, I thought the set was great.

    Kind of a weird moment toward the end of the show. Theo came down to the pit during the encore with Sam Kennedy, David Ross and others. I shook Theo's hand and said thanks for making this happen. I snapped a pic of them and he gave me the finger and told me to "fuck off" which was...unexpected. But he did once dress up in a gorilla suit to avoid press and on at least 2 occasions wear a wig, hat and mustache to Boston PJ shows to go unrecognized so clearly he prefers being incognito.

    Also as a side note, I am going on 2 years sober and these were my first PJ shows in my life not drinking and it's strange to admit, but I was kind of nervous about it. But wow, I actually enjoyed it so much more. Not having to worry about bathroom breaks, getting another round, getting home, spending money. I just focused solely on the music which made the night so good.
    Glad you had fun! I have found the shows are always so much better without drinking. The memories are so much clearer, too.

    Theo was shitfaced drunk, no doubt. Spilled some of his beer onto my shoulder and the rest onto the ground right behind me. Annoying, but a funny story to tell going forward. 


    What a great pic. Says it all. I cannot stand drunks at shows and this new epidemic of talkers. Wtf is going on with people. 
    Fenway N2 there was a guy standing in the aisle the entire night next to my wife & kept trying to talk to us for no other reason than I guess that's what he does. 

    I didn't tell him off per se, but after the 3rd time of me annoyingly asking "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" he left us alone and proceeded to talk to the people behind him... I had to plug my left ear to drown out their yelling over the music. This was 10C seating mind you. 

    Shut the f up & watch the show, people. 


    BTW - Great pic, Jimmy. 
    I’ll never understand people on so many levels. But yapping loudly over songs at a concert….. it just drives me absolutely insane. 
    I'm always amazed at people that will either sit down when a new song is played or talk/leave their seat when something stunning like Rats or In Hiding starts.

    WOW....A massive thank you to nocode4 and PJNB for securing the best seats in the Park for us. A4 rail dead center. THANK YOU

    The show 

    My 31st and my 14yo Daughter's 1st. What can I say, she's ruined for life....

    To start with Small Town, one of her favorites was fantastic,  then to get Daughter in the 3 hole was absolutely overwhelming,  I had tears streaming down the cheeks. 

    Then to get Animal which was the 1st song she learned the words to was surreal. 

    I thought maybe they made this setlust just for her. But then they started playing songs for good old dad . Save You was phenomenal and absolute fire.

    Immortality...Please every day all day 

    Corduroy,  React Respond,  Running had the crowd in a frenzy, then they played the 1 song my daughter wanted to hear. Not For You. Unbelievable 

    If your a fan of wreckege you can skip this part. I was @ MSG 1&2 and was hoping that once I heard it live it would change my mind about it the same way it did for Dissident and Pilate back in the day. It didn't.  I felt it ruined the flow of the shows. Anyway so when it was played after Not 4 you, I thought well maybe this is just not for me...like I said earlier, dead center A4, the people I could see in the pit and all around me seemed to have the same thoughts on it. No big deal , just don't think it should be played EVERY show.

    The run after that was incredible,  Untitled into a top 3 song for me in Present Tense was fantastic.

    Won't tell I absolutely adore

    SuperBlood WolfMoon with the full moon was quite something 

    Once. Black, F'in Up and Porch  my favorite song to close the set 

    What else could u ask for

    I have now seen Patriot 6 times, still love it as it was a show closer for me @ my 1st show in Augusta 96

    Ed & Glen have man crushes on each other.Really loved the duet

    Then they kicked our ass again from here on out.

    Top 3 show for me for sure, I can tell you when ranking shows they really depend on who your with and where your seats are in determining the order.

    Top 3 shows

    49 song Gem @ Great Woods or whatever it's called now

    Halifax to the Max

    This show

    #4 hopefully the next one I'm at

    We are so lucky to have this band in our lives

    Thank You

    Another reason Arenas >>> Stadiums.

    A lot fewer casuals.
