Can't wait for the show - Hurricane Earl is (supposed to) head out to sea and not hit the area too bad. Fifth row here I come!

[stp080808]

Just upgraded to 8th row, section 101.  eating my 401 tics, couldn't resist 8th row for $72.  Couldn't believe how many tics were still available.  Almost entire 400 section is empty.  Totally sucks...they should let the people on the lawn fill in the seats.  going to look pretty bad

[cotis]

Not to mention a lot of the 300's are unsold...

Will be at PNC in 45 tailgating if anyone wants to meet up and have a few beers.

Sitting down here in Row E -- can't wait for the show to start!

[cotis]

Sitting here in traffic so figured I'd post about the show. Was one of the best shows I've seen. Did it have to do with me being on the barrier? Probably, but still.

Same set as normal - but they fucking rocked it. Kid ran onto the stage during a song and hopped around and Scott and Rob just looked at each other as security escorted the idiot away.

Shook hands with Scott and Rob - Rob's good friends were sitting right next to me so he kept coming over with pics and stuff playing it up for them. At the end Rob brought out his little kid again and he looked terrified! During the show I noticed the kids jumping around to the music and playing air guitars on their shirts with their moms (I think?) - which was real cute.

Got some nice pics from my cellphone I will try to get up sometime soon.

Great show. Crowd was much more into it than the past two nights and so was the band. Shook hands with Dean again and I just missed Scott. I'm exhausted and will post my pics and vids tomorrow. This band is absolutely on fire. Their chemistry is at its pinnacle. Lots of joking around again, Scott even smacked Dean's ass during Hick D. A few minor screw ups on Vaso and Cinnamon, but not really noticeable. They threw in a few more jams than the past nights and were kick ass. The one after Still Remains is my favorite (Scott doing a lot of ooooohhssss and Dean keeping the end beat of SR). There was another nice once after D&B. Scott even brought the American Flag on stage during Big Empty and brought it center stage during the encore.

Great way to cap off the weekend. Borgata, JB and PNC were all respectively different and incredible. Greatest weekend in a long time. I might make the trip to Tampa.. who's in??

I'll post H&H and Pretty Penny tomorrow.

This show. 

This show was amazing.  Even life-changing.
I've never seen anything like it.  I am utterly blown away.  Scott is a rockstar again.  The band is a band again.  STP is at a point that is just so hopeful.  These guys love the shows and music they're playing again.  SCOTT ACTUALLY MADE SENSE IN THE BETWEEN SONG BANTER!!!  There was an audible connection between the band members.  They created music and fucked around on stage with each other.  I know the last like 5 sentences are utterly incohesive, but I am just so happy right now.  These 4 guys really seem to care about each other and STP right now.  Great, great time to be an STP fan.

Oh, yeah.  The actual performance was awesome too.  A flub up on Vasoline but they was ran with so well that it actually made it better for me.  The jamming was intense.  Intense.  Scott was spot on tonight.  With his voice and his performance.  He had the crowd eating out of his hand.  Great show.

I'm disappointed I'm not going to see them on this tour. They need to come to northern California. Still Remains is the only song I REALLY want to see that there's actually a chance of it happening. But no money & no dates in my area. They haven't played in San Francisco since reuniting.....

Some really awesome videos are popping up this year! Too bad almost none of them are available as downloads.

[Curtis1158]

Awesome videos. Seems like the guy might be a drummer, as he had extended time on Eric.

Show  was excellent. Loose at times and very tight at others. Extended jams  and seemed to be a rehearsal at times as Scott was throwing out Country  requests and the band worked them out. They really seemed to have fun  the entire  night. The show started out strong and fast, then the pace  slowed done. Tonight's Silvergun Superman was on fire and was probably  the best I have heard live, videotape and or from all the boots! From  that point on the show kicked it into another gear!

Robert  mentioned that the PNC was the first place he ever saw a concert. He  also pointed out the his first friend  who lived across the street was  in the front row. Robert looked surprised when first saw the guy, but  who knows.

Great show. Alot of banter and not just 20 songs  kicked out in a row. Cool atmoshere to the entire show. They were into  it and having fun.

this show was 10 times better than Jones Beach! like the other poster said, the crowd and the band were so much more into it. also, it sounded like there were some soundboard/mixing issues on saturday night but very few if any last night. so glad i saw them last night.

[DeadAndNotForSale]

When Scotty missed the first verse to Vasoline to begin the song, I found it cool how Dean had a little smirk when looking towards his way.  It shows that this band is meshing well right now, because Dean could of had a disgusted look for Scotty but all was good.  Great time for the band right now...... now if only we could have that single 

[Blue]

Looks like this was one hell of a show!

Love how Dean's using the Tele for Dancing Days now. If I recall correctly, he was playing it on a PRS before, right?

BTW, Is it just me, or did Scott intentionally skip the first verse on Vasoline? Perhaps his way of proving he doesn't lip sync? I know it's a wild theory, but he just looks very deliberate when he does it. But what ever the case, great work on the Deleos' and Kretz's parts keeping up with Scott when he skipped the verse lol
