Wow. That was awesome. Went to both nights and where as night 1 may have had some higher highs, I thought last night had a much smoother flow setlists wise throughout the entire show. They were on point last night kicking ass and taking names. Halfway through and still feel barely satiated. Can't wait for fri n sat.

Best PWW of all time. Incredible live incredible on video.

Overall Night 2 was a grade below night 1 in terms of crowd energy, rarities, and maybe just the freshness of starting off the run but it was a FANTASTIC show.

The one advantage that night 2 had over night 1 (and someone touched on this in another thread) is that at the BEST points  on night 1 where silence was essential there were TONS of talkers and brahs going to get their 3rd Bud Light of the evening. I was amazed by both a) how many people were clearly conversant with early stuff and b) how many people valued Waterfall materiel over Dondante for example.

In light of the fact that in 30 seconds 3 comments went up about the greatness of that PWW I want to up the ante and say that it may have been my greatest MMJ concert moment of all time. There's obviously the immediate rush of adrenaline that comes when the distinctive notes of an Into The Woods begins but then things kinda level off and you can just love the song. The PWW last night between minutes 8 and 12 were like doubling your dose of cocaine every 60 seconds for 5 minutes straight.

One additional comment on that PWW: I ruffled some feathers in my White Whales Rarities and Expectations post by exclaiming that my expectations were to have some major bust-outs on this run. Though I don't recant what I said (and Night 1 surely met all expectations (and then some)) the PWW last night was the greatest proof that its not always about the setlist  or whether you get an Oxen or not. (IOW I'm buttressing my detractors' opinion). There's a lot of flavors and layers that one was able to soft through during a show's like last night's and though there was only one borderline "rarity" (Where To Begin) (we can debate the status of You Wanna Freak Out) it was still special due to so many other factors.

It was orgasmic.

Make that multi-orgasmic!

Echoing all PWW praise and raising it ten fold. Those thirteen minutes may be the best I've ever had in my concert-going history. Sure, it wasn't the most note-perfect version, and maybe it's just the freshness of it all, but THEY FUCKING ROCKED IT and the crowd ATE IT UP. There's something about the right performance with the right crowd -- when it clicks, it's MAGIC!

if you want drink in hand by the time you are at your seat dont get there any later than 8:45 as the drink lines are pretty long right before show time.  It's been 9:10-9:15 they go on

Maybe bar food? Nothing super fancy, but pretty flexible otherwise. Just a spot to sit and have dinner and a couple of adult beverages.

amsterdam ale house is the closest  on 76th and amsterdam, typical pub but ive never eaten there- will probably be pretty crowded
blondies is on 79th between broadway and amsterdam
and on amsterdam between 80 and 82 there are a lot of pubs, island burger does a pretty good cheeseburger, more of a hole in the wall type place than a pub but they shud have beers too.
