Is it me or has the band been practicing?

These shows were very good. A most satisfactory two-night concert going experience indeed.

I waz in DA PIT DA second night. All the way on Stone's side about 7 or 9 or 13 or 8 rows back.

The sound there was ok.

The sound was MUCH better the first night from the side of the stage section 216 or 215 whatever. There's a whole damn rack of speakers aiming right at there! From where our seats were supposed to be, the sound was absolute mud. But move down 13 rows and WOOLAH! crisp and clear and :censored: ing LOUD. It's amazing what shuffling a few rows and/or columns can do for a concert experience.

Hearing swallowed whole, let the records play, and yellow moon for the first time twice was the highlight for me.

other hightlights were pilate, 1/2 full, low light, brain of J, satan's bed, parachutes (I screamed when they started this song. sorry), BREATH and a scream, MFC, and unthought known x 2.

I thought it was queer and dangerous for Ed to be dangling from a lit ball while also handling and singing into a mic.

The security was decent and not a bunch of A-holes like can sometimes be encountered.

Guess what guys? Stone's back!

Musically they sound fairly tight, but Eddie's been forgetting lyrics as usual. He's got a prompter now down in front I think.

Can anyone else confirm this? I'd be shocked

He hasn't got a promoter. If he does he's not using it right :lol: He had some lyrics written down when they did otherside.....but he still messed a bit of it up lol.

There's been a couple of pictures taken by ppl from behind the stage I've seen where it looks like he might have a prompter, but it's not a certainty...its possible he only uses it for certain songs too

Here are some of my pictures from Hartford. He has "hints" for some songs, and complete lyrics for others.

I feel like I could pretty much sing any PJ song if I had the first word or two of each verse. I can't blame Ed for some reminders.
