You get to cuddle with 22K of your BFFs without bathroom access for hours during rain delays and hope the trains still run.

It's great to see people genuinely happy, but this crowd is very low energy:

People get old.

they are all so overweight and so ugly

and so low energy

for all my pj knocking on this board, i am literally doing jumping jacks all show at anything from 1999 earlier

and RITFW always gets me mega lifted, eventhough it is always one of the last to be played

and these people just dont understand the magic of the universe

if this song played in front of them by pearl jam live causes them to react as such

Where’s bammer when you need him?

I’ve been periodically checking ticket prices and availability on the TM website (still looking for MSG1) and I’ve noticed that there seem to be only four areas that are “sold out”: Philly, NYC, Baltimore (easy drive from Philly), and Seattle. Their market power may decreasing as a result of the prices increasing.

If only it was the same for NYC Ive been looking for MSG2 myself. There's never anything on Ticketmaster (besides occasionally the $1000 tickets) and the secondhand market has nothing under $600

I'm going to make a compilation of my favorite songs/performances from this leg of the tour once I have all the bootlegs. But I really don't wanna buy all of them.....

This is where livefootsteps could really shine... have ratings that go into each performance of each song and thus you could have a dynamic "best of" album crowdsourced. Which a very smrt person once said is the future of fandom.

Aw man

Saw fan exchange tickets for MSG2 on Ticketmaster today - they were limited view seats in the very back but its better than nothing

Put them in my cart, put in my credit card info, but got an error....then though they were showing up on the map Id get an error every time I tried to get them. Then they kept going back and forth between available and not but buying them never actually worked until they thought that I was a bot and suspended my session <_<

The Grateful Dead have something like this called Heady Version. The lifelong Deadheads hate it, because people just vote for the most familiar versions, or for shows they attended in person. But I agree with you, in theory something like this would be awesome.

I'm currently working through versions of DM songs for my obligatory 'Dark Matter Live' compilation. Performances are extremely good for a new album, which owes a lot to the way the album was recorded and their enthusiasm for the songs. Doesn't make picking the best versions easy though! I'm open to suggestions for standouts anyone has come across so far...

I’ve been going through a similar process:

Scared of Fear: Sacramento
React, Respond: Sacramento
Wreckage: Vancouver 1
Dark Matter: LA 1
Won’t Tell: Vancouver 1
Upper Hand: Vancouver 1
Running: Sacramento

Running at Vancouver 1 was also great but Ed’s chatter goes straight into the drum intro

Funny how much this list sticks to two shows but that’s just how it shakes out for me, having heard them all.

A lot of overlap with our lists there mate. Tis funny how Sacramento was so good for the fast ones and Vancouver for the more downbeat ones. I’m being a bit less precious with 100% correct lyrics for this one, but it bugs me that there’s only one version of Setting Sun with the ‘only one hanging on’ lyric in the climax (Portland) but I’m not sure there’s a standout other version to displace it yet.

I like Vancouver 2 for Setting Sun.

I agree the new songs have been played consistently well.

This is a pretty confusing image for a sold-out show:
