Looks like Never Destination was traded for Blood - I would have honestly rather had Never Destination to an extent, but Blood was pretty crazy when it came on (I think he played it for a doctor, maybe a hematologist? I dunno he was like "Okay we'll play the song"). I don't love Blood and I do like Gigaton and never got to hear much of it live, but yeah, it was still really cool hearing Blood knowing they don't really play it anymore.

So right before they played Tremor Christ in Baltimore, Ed pointed out the sign being held up by a Hematologist requesting Blood. He said "we aren't going to play that but here's another one we don't play very often."

I'm guessing that guy made it to the Boston show. I guess in order to have Get Right played, I need to go to back to back shows so Ed sees my sign for it one night, then plays at the next show.

And possibly become a hematologist, maybe that was the clincher

Sorry, I missed that Trag made the same joke

i was standing right next to blood guy in baltimore

[Kalevi]

Though not curious enough to look on YouTube, I am curious about how blood came out. That is one of a handful that I've thought should be retired as I have perceived they can't pull it off any more (Ed can't)

[Birds in Hell]

It was a brave choice to tackle the song in its original key too:

Not a bad as I expected

sorry trag

this is just how it is

It’s great for the crowd to reach into the catalog like that. Smile, Grievance, In hiding would crush tomorrow night. But I assume they’ll play safe and we get Falling Slowly and like Comeback, Crown, or Sirens.

How bad were you expecting it to be? Because it's pretty bad.

[Kalevi]

I would've been psyched to be there. I appreciate Ed knew it was not the greatest based on his comment at the end.

Worse than that

[Monkey_Driven]

They could totally slow down Blood and make it into a Tom Waits-esque song, but instead they do this...

It was a brave choice to tackle the song in its original key too:

poor Ed

he wanted it, but just wasnt there

surprising how Matt of all people seems to struggle with this song's transitions too

would think he would be better than that

love the look on stone's face in the beginning of the 2nd verse tho as he is chugging along on that riff

[96583UP]

the bow wow thing is just fatal

[96583UP]

hey he did end with 'We did not practice that!'

also was that the riff to Superunknown at the end?!?!

[daft twat]

I thought it was the best of the 5 Fenway shows. The new stuff sounded great. The section I was in was into it.

I was at zero of them, but no fucking way. Respectfully.

[Birds in Hell]

the bow wow thing is just fatal

I think Ed’s done that since at least 1996.

[spike]

that was a near trainwreck. classic matt rushing yet another song by not pausing long enough during the rests, just get the song over as quickly as possible.

I guess the good news is it is no worse (and maybe better) than they sounded the last time they played it six years ago
