Can someone post a decent photo of the skate deck please? My wife and I didn’t arrive early enough on night one to even see one. 

Missed out on the show specific shirts as well. Kinda bummed about that bc that red speedboat flies past my apartment building everyday.

Night one had some amazing and classic PJ moments but it definitely had a “first show of the tour” vibe…the pacing seemed off and Ed had a lot to say…seeing Petty’s guitar get played was cool. The new guy in the back seems like a multi-instrument genius and definitely adds some cool stuff to the bands sound. It seemed like Mike and Jeff got to bounce around and be less serious bc that guy was back there to keep things going. As always, BOOM crushed the Crazy Mary solo and Mike joined in nicely. Rant over. 

 Loved the new closer though! 

For any ladies wondering, the Large Kids TIGER shirt fit my wife perfectly. I wouldn’t call her petite but she’s 5’7 and fairly thin.

There is one on e bay for only $450 if you want a real good look 

What’s with all bootleg NIGHT 2 Hollywood shirts up on eBay, but none of the NIGHT 1 shirts? Have the bootleggers not found that art yet? They love the flamingo!

Hard Rock guessing wasn't a good spot for bootleggers, the casino isn't going to let them into the casino, and not a ton of driving in and out

The bootlegged Flamingo NIGHT 2 t-shirts were up on eBay by Friday night, a full day before the actual concert. But I still haven’t seen a bootlegged Guitar Hotel/Speedboat NIGHT 1 shirt yet…it’s just weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Doors were supposed to open at 6:30 but they let people in early. I got in before 6:30 and got shut out of a damn show shirt, sticker, and license plate! 

Gotta be a better way. 

SMH, I had guessed they would do the same thing for N2 they did for N1. We were in line N1 an hour before doors and still got shut out of almost everything. I got an event sticker and the event tee in XL and that's it. I waited for hours for the early merch on Friday and only got a N2 pin! I hope they don't mess up like this the rest of the tour. Every show I was at last year they still had the event merch inside if you were there early enough.

Nah it was a field day- free parking, comfortable ball room to wait it, no limits on purchases, casino lets everyone in.  A food court to eat at if needed.  The Thursday show shirt wasn’t even available the afternoon of the show

This👆

it was a total shit show. The merch was available all day outside of the venue, inside a casino, for ANYONE to buy as much of ANYTHING they wanted. People showing up for the show never had a chance at ANY of the show specific merch. 

I hope the rest of the tour is handled better. 

So for N2 I went to the ballroom and was told that show specific things were only inside the venue...and unfortunately I still missed out despite getting in before the slated door opening time.

But what about N1?  Did the ballroom have the show specific things there all day, until it pretty much got sold out?  

Not good.  Just sell the merch inside the venue and save everyone the hassle of not only lining up for the show early, but lining up for the merch early and on multiple days.  You'd think after 34 years this would all be down to a science.  

Also, there needs to be a 2 item limit on EVERYTHING...not just posters and skate decks.

N1 was terrible, we were in the line to get in an hour before doors opened. I don't know what GA had access to since they were let in first, but I only had roughly 20 people ahead of me in the merch line and the only show specific items left were the sticker and the tee in some sizes. I don't think they had any license plates or skate decks inside, at least not by the regular door time.
