I’m sorry. There was a post here this summer where someone commented something like, “I’m impressed by your level of PJ autism,” and it was used in the same way I intended here: obsessive behavior. We’re a fanbase that is observably different in that regard. I put myself squarely in that camp. In no other aspect of my life do I behave quite like this. I wasn’t intending to insult or offend, warehouse, and I won’t use it again.

i totally agree and identify with where you are coming from, i'm the same way about dave matthews band as i am w/ PJ. i think i'm just overly sensitive about the word b/c of stuff i've done in my career. you don't need to apologize, i'm not insulted or offended, but i know people who would be. thanks for the response, glad you had fun :peace:

I’m worried about being in GA Saturday. From my vantage point last night, it looked more packed than ever. No place in the wings to just breathe.

This girl literally walked into me in the street post-show, as we were trying to find our way back to the bus to the remote lot.

Really great show IMO. I liked Glen's set much better with full band amped up than when Ive seen him open for Ed before. I liked his rant about going to iHop so the oligarchs don't destroy it.

Great to get release as the opener. Miss the days when Ed was less scared of the crowd when it came to setlists. When you open w release you get a little more rope w the crowd and don't need to hold back that incredible opening set of songs w small town.

I thought the fake better man into corduroy was cool. DMB has been doing that.

Stadium was packed. Some of those merch lines were mind blowing. A lot of money was made.

also, ed's oldest daughter sat in front of us with some dude whom i think was her boyfriend that knew not one word to one song but tried to make it look like he was singing right along. awkward.

Single song posts? No consolidated list? Abandoned partway through?

Setlist thread amateur hour over here!

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall:

So "You" was actually "U" and not "You Are?!" What a disappointment. "U" barely rates as a b-side imo. Pretty nice setlist otherwise though.

if i learned that ed does the stupid call and response during corduroy because he can no longer sing the bridge in the high register i would feel better about it. because my god, it's still so bad.

I hated it so much. And all the potato heads around me were just eating it up thinking it was the best thing ever.

Sounded good and looks cool despite the risk of eleventy-thousand identical signs appearing at the next show, but Ed's a little touchy there.
