    How about this Parking?https://www.parkwhiz.com/p/pittsburgh-parking/44-bigelow-sq/?event_id=1646245


     or is this too close to the cluster-fuck in order for me to get back on the road ASAP to Philly, after the show?

    You’ll hit some traffic there, it’s right in the mix of concert parking..  but it’s also close to ramps for 376 to get you to the pike.

    I might be going to see Paul McCartney next week. If so, I plan on driving in from Philly area and I am looking for suggestions where I can park, so I can get out of there ASAP for my drive back home that night.  I'm willing to walk (a mile or so) if that's what it takes.  Appreciate any suggestions.
    For the PJ shows at PPG I parked at the Cambria Hotel next door to the arena. It was less than $30 to park and was really convenient. Exiting the area was straightforward as well: GPS brought us up Centre St to Crawford St where we swung back down to Bedford Ave and an easy drive downtown.
    I stayed at the Cambria for both PJ shows. 

    I'm surprised you had no problems getting out with the Cambria being so close to PPG. I thought it might've been a cluster-fuck trying to get out from there, after a Show. That an option too.

    I appreciate all of your responses.

    Thank You, all.
    Most of the vehicles parked there belonged to hotel guests so it wasn’t a struggle exiting.

    Yeah, that's what I kind of thought.

    Thanks for the heads-up.

    I'm surprised since that's right next to the venue. That parkwhiz website has Cambria parking as sold out for McCartney.

    It may not matter if TM doesn't let me on the Website as they think I'm a Bot. I do appreciate the recommendations where to park.

    Ok but in all seriousness that Sleight of Hand - Severed Hand - Upper Hand - Grievance stretch is one of my favorite stretches in recent PJ history. That Man of the Hour might be the best version of that song. And then a very special 3 hours on stage the next show with Insignificance and Hunger Strike thrown in and emotions high ALL night…chefs kiss

    Yes, although Vegas 1 Black is probably my favorite post covid

    Yes, Night 2 got Hunger Strike but I think Night 1 had the better setlist. I only went to Night 1 so I consider myself lucky (although I am still chasing Hunger Strike!). All these years into their career, and PJ can still make individual shows all across a tour feel uniquely special. Not many of the older bands I follow do that.

    Yeah, it’s the first time in a while where I can’t choose which show of a two night stand in the same venue was better since maybe MSG 2003….but I’ll still say night 2 in 2003 was better than night 1. Pittsburgh 2 just felt like a celebration, and Matt leaving made that evening make a whole lot more sense.
