    Ok, after sleeping on this.
    Here are some more thoughts.

    First, my mind is still reeling from some of the amazing things I experienced last night.
    Hearing Indifference and Grievance for the first time in 25 years, the Hand Trilogy, and the normal bangers that make every show worth attending.

    My other thought about why alot of my section (209) sat through the entire show was because of so many deep cuts. It's possible that they just didn't know alot of the songs. They guy next to me would stand for Ten songs and a few others, but then sit and play on his phone for most other songs.

    I happen to love this show and can't wait to see what they pull out tomorrow night!!!

    The hand trilogy (first time ever?).

    And then the unbelievable happened. Ed asked ME to pick a song. Wut. Wut. Wut. Without hesitation - Grievance. It was a fucking MOMENT. And I got a pick and a fist bump. How. How. How. 

    Nothing will ever top that. I am still digesting. 
    I am hoping they will have a N1 shirt in the merch tent tomorrow because you bet I really want to commemorate this event now.

    And they played Grievance perfectly. 
    Thank you so much for picking Grievance.... Holy shit that was perfect

    My 35th show and the best yet. Crowd in GA was great. They have never sounded better.

    So glad to get Got to Give and Sleight of Hand...I can scratch those off. 

    Also... React is much better live than studio. That is one heavy song

    Absolutely not. It was bad. It covered multiple steps on both sides of the railing. 🤢luckily it stopped on the row below us so we didn’t have to walk in it.

    We all dream of being asked what song we want to hear at a show, which is a lot of pressure, and @Shaindli1 did not let anyone down.

    For sure. Great job @Shaindli1 I would probably brain lock  like  Ralph in “A Christmas Story “ and blurt out any random song. 😂

    What a pleasure it was to attend PIT1 and GA with friends last night. Especially appreciative to be in PIT for both of these last shows. Having never attended a show here I can see now why the band wanted to end the tour here. Plenty of celebratory gems to sing together last night and I suspect more to come tomorrow! Let’s end it loud!

    My take on this from 212 is that 1) it is incredibly steep up there (like, you could literally fall just walking to your seat) 2) yes, there were lots of deep cuts and the “Hand” trilogy sucked the air out of the upper deck, from my perspective and 3) you can see perfectly fine sitting down from up there.  I sat probably 50% of the time but was no less locked in than anyone else in the arena.
