Hi Denver People, what’s everyone thoughts on the weather Saturday? Does the show go on if it’s 30 and snowing? I’m debating on canceling my trip.

I was on the floor at the gig last night. Looong time fan (almost 30 years) and had booked to see them when they cancelled a few years back with Rome. So there was a bit of pressure on the show for me.

It was epic!! The crowd was lame - heaps of movement on the floor people coming in and out and chatting rather than being into it (although those that were were really into it - like me skanking away!!). Jakob did an awesome job. It dawned on me how hard it must be for him to sing these songs about the addiction of his dad - think I nearly cried when he sung pool shark by himself. I really really hope

He has some support throughout the tour.

I can seee why some people struggled with the songs though, they have changed almost all of the keys of the songs I guess to suit Jakob’s voice better, 80% of people probably wouldn’t even notice but I think for the 20% that do it’s grating as all hell.

As kiwis I appreciated the upfrontness about the lack of an encore - kiwis HATE the encore process and usually just stand there refusing to beg for the band to come back. In fact at pearl jam everyone started moo-ing over chanting lol.

I think they played an awesome set although Gutted they didn’t play same in the end.
