    What a great sign! 
    Right?!?! I got a pic and when I looked at it I realized it was a double rainbow! And it stuck around for a long time.

    Didn't sell and can't use N2 tickets, so seats in Section 130, Row Z, Seats 11 and 12 are open. Feel free to move to them once inside tonight. Enjoy

    Being a rare show were I got to sleep in my own bed 20 min after hitting the highway, I want to give a huge thanks to everybody who came into town to rock out and see the shows. Met awesome people in the merch line and around our seats.

    And a HUGE thanks to PJ for coming to Raleigh and making it two memorable nights.  Amazing stuff.

    Until next time, rock on and stay safe out there!

    Raleigh 2 was fantastic! I’ve been wanting a Setting Sun opener since the first time I heard the song. I can’t believe we got it 😁. I love the Dark Matter album but we saw 5 shows last fall so it was nice to see them shake up the setlist. They really sounded good and the crowd was awesome.  Flew into town yesterday and headed downtown for a late lunch before the show.  Very appreciative of all the locals who offered tips on food and beverage. We went to Clyde Cooper’s BBQ and loved it.  We walked around a bunch before grabbing a caffeine boost at Sir Walter’s (the Ghostface Killa iced coffee is highly recommended). 

    We had a short drive to the arena and got online for the doors to open around 4:45. We were pretty close to the front.  When they opened the doors we bypassed the first merch table and went to the next one.  There was almost no one there. We were about 10 people back and the line moved super quick.  Was able to get a token (limit of one), poster, stickers, and shirts for the kids back home.  The tokens sold out a couple people after me.  I could hear people being told they were sold out while I was rolling the poster.  That means they had like 20 tokens or so in total.  I don’t get it.  

    We’re grabbing some breakfast shortly at the hotel and then heading out for more local stuff today and tomorrow. Thank you, Raleigh!!

    Great show, agree Setting Sun was a fantastic opener!

    Thanks PJ for bringing your light to Raleigh. The "long goodbyes" talk was a little worrisome NGL.

    Had a great 26 hours in Raleigh for the Sunday show. Daughter and I walked around UNC and NC State (in the rain), had some great sandwiches and pimento at State of Beer and a good lunch at Bru’s on our way to the airport. Everyone we met was welcoming and I’d be happy to return anytime!
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Definitely a great time and net some fine folks. 

    Raleigh - while we didn't get to experience the entire city, what we saw was nice and clean. The people all over were quite friendly as well. And to those at the Lenovo center: you are fantastic! The nicest overall employees I've come across at a professional venue. Jokes/storytelling/wellness checks/complimentary water for those in the GA pit...just thoroughly impressed.

    This is true! The staff was super-friendly and helpful and the water by the GA was such a great idea! Unfortunately they had run out by the end of the show, but I guess that means that GA people were well hydrated 😆

    Btw. I posed this question on Tuesday and I have the answer from an employee. The reason the GA entry is called the "Slow Entrance"? Very simple. Because it is the furthest entrance from the largest car lot.

    Well…not just that Pittsburgh might be it for 2025 (bc that’s been the likely case now for months), but that maybe they’re thinking they won’t ever be back to that part of the country….

    Only two more nights and then it's showtime again! Number 9 and 10 on this tour for me.  I can't wait!
    My guess for the N1 opener is Wash.  
    I try to clear my head of song titles now when I walk in.  I end up appreciating everything so much more that way.
    But..if I were to hope for something specific, any of the following would crush it for me, personally:

    Last Exit
    Parting Ways
    Insignificance 
    Get Right
    Guitar intro- Immortality
    Go
    Dance of the Clairvoyants 
    Dead Man in the 2nd set 
    Close with Indifference

    All I know for certain is that my mind will be a blank when the walkout music starts. 
    The Raleigh shows will be legendary,
    and the drive from Philly in the rain, there and back, will suck.
       
    LAST EXIT
    INTRO INTO IMMORTALITY
    OPEN WITH SETTING SUN
    CLOSE WITH INDIFFERENCE

    Thank you for the embarrassment of riches this past weekend!!!!!!
