i said it earlier that i didn't care for matt's backing...stone is so much better...i do think there was a problem because matt's voice was too loud during world wide suicide and they seemed to fix it for the second song. but still the same "they're far and away the best band goin'"

The life of the party never says, "This party sucks"

I'm going to have to agree somewhat. The songs were great sonically but Ed's voice seemed a bit strained. Hopefully it will be fine for the tour. I didn't mind Matt backing Ed too much. The song choice was decent (WWS was obvious) but I would have preferred a slower tempo song to close like Gone or Come Back, especially with the condition of Ed's voice. I still enjoyed it thoroughly although my wife seemed a bit indifferent. She's not a huge PJ fan so I'm not sure how tonight's performance will grab the casual listener.

Can't blame someone for giving his or her opinion.

Sound was off terribly so. Mike was quiet, Ed's mic was lower than Matt's. They needed to have that straitened out earlier... Mike was TEARING in the second song.

yay someone that feels like i do
and y did the drummer run to the front of the stage at the end of wws? the song was barely over and he was tripping over himself to get to the front. the close-ups were only of ed and drummer boy--which is great but what happened to mike, jeff and stone have they not earned camera time. either way they sounded great (less back up vocals) and played very well, did not miss a beat.

Energy was great.... eds voice, was eh... hopefully warming up...

i dont know how to feel about all this matt backing up ed... just doesnt hit me right...


and honestly, i cant dig those two songs.... it makes me sad.... cuz im not used to that


but yeah, dont want to be a downer, just how i feel, figured everyone would be praising it all to hell and back... so i guess im the token person to keep the board even u know, the ying and the yang...





Ps. I liked "Life Wasted" more back when it was "Insignificance"

I agree with strained vocals, but I think it has more to to do with how WWS sounds live and what with the whole emotive response to incompetent foreign policy & using the miltary as mercenaries . They're just warming up. The tour's going to rock.
