I wish you could come back again.
Climb trees with you again
Is that a lyric?
It’s what the Pit reported he sang
So, some chords and alternative lyrics. Does that count as having played Comes Then Goes?
Absolutely not, considering those aren't even lyrics from the song.
Bluesky was very quick to call me wrong when I stated that they played a whole tour without touching Gigaton.
Is there video of this performance out there?
I’ve not found any yet.

I think Nashville night 1 was the best of the four shows we saw this leg but Pittsburgh N2 was special in its own right. The crowd reaction to the opening strains of Hunger Strike gave me goosebumps. All-time moment.
I'm just now seeing Porch was gonna be the closer -- that would've blown the roof off the arena and every adjacent building after a euphoric three hours.
Can't wait to do it all again, whenever that may be.
FYI, I met Santos in the merch line yesterday and asked him why they don't make more tokens. He did not know. I then awkwardly told him I loved his work and proceeded to buy my merch.

Also, pro tip here: FB, Reddit, and BlueSky aren't really where you go for good takes on anything. Not as bad as Rumble or Truth, but still not great.

I also noticed that the sound was odd on Friday. My wife, who is only a causal fan through me, agreed the sound was "off" at times. We were in 112, not sure if there was a setup issue or whatever.
I thought Friday sounded poor too - especially vocals. Sunday sounded good. They definitely fixed whatever was wrong.

Well, I'm not really "going there for takes." It just happens to be the social network that TSIS currently shares out our posts.

Several times this tour, something "goes wrong" around songs 10-14 and everything after has one, weird element (volume too low, someone playing off-key, Ed flubbing lyrics, etc.). I think Wreckage is often a trigger for whatever is happening.

imagine you paid $900 on Ticketmaster for a PJ ticket and then there is an audio issue for half the show
or the band flubs a couple performances
it's fine to be loose and indy when you charge $20 per ticket
but at the PJ Premium by Ticketmaster phase you should have your shit together

It seems that there were so many people who want their show to be the most epic because they were maybe not a part of shows we all think were "epic", like the Sneetches with Stars book by Dr. Seuss.
These two shows seemed fine? I was at the first night. The energy surely didn't match Philly in the fall(and I am not a Philly guy, just live around here now). Pitt I, when DM material was played, man at least in my area(CAPTAIN MORGAN CLUB!!), the amount of people who poured up the aisles to I assume get a drink was nuts. I have not seen anything like it. During React Respond, dozens of people took off. It was borderline rude.

And yes, I saw that organ four times since last September. It's a running joke at this point?
At a typical show with 25,000 people, I wonder how many are there just for Alive, Even Flow, Jeremy, Porch, Black, and Betterman ?

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but Ed said something like "When we are back on stage again in a year or two..." last night.

I think at least on Friday, many? I mean there was a pop for Grievance, but the hits definitely were louder. Who is singing Sleight of Hand?
My wife and I had this discussion during the four hour car ride home Saturday. She's been baptized into this shit through me, but she was turned off by the setlist Friday. She has not been to a show in 13 years. She's only been to three, two Pittsburgh and one festival in Atlanta. She lives vicariously through whatever I yammer about or she hears in the car on PJ radio.
I just don't think they play enough shows now to do a show without the hits. Ed is playing to the widest audience, I think. I take what I can get. Sleight of Hand? Cool. Grievance? Nice. Severed Hand? Fun.

I think they should play whatever they are into deeply at that moment
Those will be the best performances for me
Regardless of the album (except LB)
I think they get into trouble playing requests or playing for the room
If they did Dark Matter end to end I might bitch on paper bc I wanna see Jeremy and Black but if they are deep in that zone musically at the time and it's tight and focused then I'll take that trade-off
lately i feel like they don't have a zeitgeist

We got DtE both nights in Raleigh. The first night was the full video. The second night was something else, maybe what you are referring to. I also would like to know what that is from.
The "hype guy" behind Mike is Josh Klinghoffer.
