What was the best show of the Dark Matter Tour?

CantKeepmedown · May 22

Only did both Fenways and Hollywood 2

Fenway 2 was easily the best of the 3. I'd say Fenway 1 and Hollywood 2 were fairly equal. Both had songs that I really enjoy. As PJNB said, they do sort of blend together at this point with the similar structure of setlists.

I'll say, I took my 19 year old daughter to Fenway 1 and my 19 year old son to Hollywood 2. First PJ show for both of them and they had a an absolute blast. Looking forward to doing it again next time around.

Hard to rank the five shows I attended because they were all fantastic in their own ways...but here's my take:

1 - Raleigh N1
2 - Pittsburgh N2
3 - Vegas N1
4 - Vegas N2
5 - Missoula

The ones I went to

bootlegger10 · May 22

On paper, Sydney 2 easily would be my favorite setlist.

RatherStarved · May 22

Very difficult to rank. Instead some highlights for me:

-Van 2 first row reserved floor, great first 4 songs of setlist;
-LA2 birthday show, rail by Boom with 4pm arrival; tambo;
-Bos 2 Unthought Known after working all night and all day until show time;
-Chi 2 floor seat with my son;
-ATL2 Leash and RVM;
-Pit1 It’s Ok;

I have other highlights too but that’s a start.

CarryTheZero · May 22

Only went to 4 shows.

1) Philly 1 (great setlist and unreal energy)
2) Atlanta N1 (slight edge here due to being in GA and finally getting Can’t Keep and Deep!)
3) Atlanta N2 (setlist was great, Black was huge, as was the entire encore. But Setting Sun scratched?)
4) Philly 2 (great show, but I was in a lackluster section and just tough to top night 1)

Wish I had made it to Raleigh N1 and the Pitt shows. Those looked amazing.

Went to three -

1. Philly 1
2. Pitt 2
3. Pitt 1

Got to experience it all with my son. He got his first show in Philly 1. Then got both our hometown shows (Pitt 1 & 2). Will never forget it, so thankful for it. All were fantastic

I went to Philly 1 with my dad. We have been going to concerts since I was young. I can confidently say that Philly 1 was the best concert I have ever been to. The energy in Wells Fargo center that night was unmatched. I’ve seen 70+ bands, and none were able to match that show… the fact I was able to share that show with my dad was incredible

That’s awesome! My first show was Michael Jackson in 88’, the Bad tour. So yes, I’ve seen a ton of shows. But the Philly n1 with my son was something different then the rest. Fantastic show, the atmosphere, songs, ect… And a experience that he and I will always have. Thanks for sharing your story!

It’s easy drive from NY… I always do it since 2005 for me… wish I did some earlier ones. It’s like the band is afraid to not be exceptional 🤣 Philly people are fun

Saw 4 Shows this tour , it was supposed to be 7 but London and Berlin were cancelled.

1 - Barcelona II (amazing setlist , awesome crowd but having a message to my wife and me written by Eddie himself show on the big screen is something we will never forget , it was unforgetable !!)
2 - Barcelona I
3 - Lisbon
4 - Madrid (probably the worse PJ crowd i´ve ever seen, they deserved that lackluster setlist for sure)

Merkin Baller · 11:39AM

Philly 1 wasn't just the best of the DM tour for me, but easily the single best show I've seen them put on at least since 2016, probably 2013.

Honorable mentions:
Dublin (crowd energy was off the charts)
Manchester (Ed's voice was rough, but a great & memorable night all the same)
Fenway 1
Nashville 1

Will likely change after get the the boots, but:

100% agree with this. It was my favorite show since toronto 9/11/11.

I think this thread proves that msg is overrated and small venues don't necessarily equate to historic shows (florida).

Agreed wholeheartedly... the 2 Florida shows don't even crack my top 5... the venue was amazing, and I'm glad I made the trip, but the smaller size didn't make the show by any stretch.
