Ok, before Arms Aloft. Ed's voice was shot afterwards.
I don’t think that was the point he was making.
Yeah, seriously.

It really was. Honestly, even Know Your Rights was a great version. It had a really cool feel.
There were a couple of points during the main set where I just couldn’t get into the flow. Like Wishlist and Won’t Back Down seemed oddly placed, and following them with Porch was just like, “Wait, we’re already at the end of the set?”
But overall a really strong show with some nice surprises and great performances. Disappointed I can’t stay for Monday. It feels like they’re building up and that one will be even better.

I said pretty much the same thing to my wife on the ride home. She said I was mean.

This is pretty much how i felt about it. That whole run from Wishlist through Footsteps seemed like a different show from the first dozen+ songs when the band was just on fire and the crowd was eating it up. The crowd was eating flaming band members.

Best part of the show last night was when Ed went down front during Breath and sang the If I knew where it was part to a kid who was with his dad.

Yes, but they were flipped then (Breath first, SOLAT second). Did the same thing 12/6/13 (Seattle), 10/29/13 (Charlottesville), 10/22/13 (Philly), 9/25/09 (Vancouver), 6/21/07 (Dusseldorf), 10/1/05 (Atlantic City), and 9/11/98 (NYC)--didn't go back further. So for a song that's relatively rare (that is, Breath), playing it back-to-back isn't that uncommon, but doing SOLAT first hasn't been done since 1994 at the most recent, and I didn't even look at those shows.

I went back one more show and there it was: SOLAT immediately preceded Breath 4/11/94 in Boston.

Completely agree. The dad and son hugged afterwards and it was the sweetest thing ever. It got to me on so many levels.

Rebel rebel was complete. Rough, but complete.
Missing fits seamlessly into the sets. Such a great choice to honor Chris’ legacy
