    Porch was on the set list for after Yellow Wing…now that would have been epic!

    That was ridiculous. So great to have that band on stage for almost 3 hours again. They really were trying to make it special.

    Edit: omg if they played Porch after Little Wing….

    Holy Shit!

    That's really the best way to describe what I just witnessed. Just a fantastic show from start to finish. So many of my fav songs were played. That was the best version of Betterman that I think I ever heard... 
    ... and Hunger Strike???

    Plus, this was pushing 3 hours. When's the last time that happened?

    I'm done, but too pumped to go to sleep!!!

    i think Porch is listed as an alternate. Great show. It gets hate but Future Days was our wedding song so me and my wife were happy. Hungerstrike was fantastic. The way EV was talking it sounds like they might be going on a long break.

    Future days and hunger strike melted my brain. Two incredibly charged emotional songs for me.

    So happy I came. 

    I hope it's not too long until the next one.

    Be well community. Hope to see all the new friends I made this weekend soon! (Tho it sounds like it may be a little while - I still say toronto!!!!)

    Great tour. Great finish. Hunger strike made my legs weak. I couldn’t believe it.
    In a way you could tell they were happy to be done for a while, but at the same time being very grateful for what they have and do. 
    They brought it tonight and gave us nearly 3 hours of music! Absolutely fantastic.

    Wow, I was too young to see the guys in their early days but that was a HEAVY pre-2000 set!  Loved it!  Got to scratch Deep off the list and hadn't heard Once and Immortality in 23 years.  

    Never thought I'd be singing the CC part to Hunger Strike with Ed and 20K of my friends.  That was special. 

    Also, Ed was spitting, literally, passion as he sang RITFW 1st verse, after that impassioned speech about voices and issues.

    We yinzers loved sharing our city with the Jamily.  (The TMaster bots, not so much!)

    We got to sing Chris’ Hunger Strike parts in Sydney in November, and it was a spiritual experience. So glad to hear this has happened again, and hopefully they keep doing it. A PJ crowd will understand the assignment.

    What a great night.  So many friends there.  It felt like a graduation.  A little sad knowing we won’t see each other for a while.

    Better Man tag was really good.  Wishlist tag was special with Comes then Goes.  Crazy Mary was badass.  Turning the lights down again after Alive was interesting.  I think this was the best version of Little Wing I have heard.  Mike was killing it.  

    Ed did a lot of talking as the were on stage 30 minutes longer than most shows but played only one song more. Was hoping for some more deep cuts to end it, but the band was great and had the best time hanging with everyone.  Ready to do again.

    Great show!  Very happy to get Hunger Strike and Faithful.  Only dip was Wishlist which I wish had been replaced with I Got Shit, Breakerfall, or Who You Are.  Beyond that, the show was fantastic.  Thanks Joe for the upgrade to Section 103.  Going to this show was my 50th birthday present and it didn't disappoint.
