Perfectly summed up.
I think BD will have something special.

Something special is going on here.  That was an unbelievable 5 nights!  I spent tonight behind the stage in a section that would be a killer msg Paug section, except I was the only person in this section!  Kuroda is moving sections of the lights up and down to coincide with the jams.  I didn't really notice it the other 4 nights, but it was tripping me out back there.  So cool!  Mid second set I spot a couple just going at it in the back row of "my" section.  Unfortunately they got busted by security and most likely arrested.  Love is in the air I guess.  Can't wait to get hammered on my couch for the next 2 weeks before I do it all again!!

This Caspian f'ing rages! Holy smokes. Mike bombs everywhere got me going

Missed the show tonight, but I'm hearing good things!

What's up with this caspian?!? Jammed out Mr. completely bustout! Oh hellll yes!

Also...... no repeats....

Listened to second set 3 times already.  Some really great stuff.  Come Together is awesome.  I knew they wee bound to bring back Mr. Completely.  It's so good too.  Killer Mercury.  I find it hard to believe they won't play another DWD or Ghost or any of the new songs again at MSG (especially the new songs) but who knows. Even 5 shows with no repeats great.  This is the strongest overall start to a recent tour that I can remember,  MSG is gonna blow doors.

So, Come Together isn't a Beatles cover? You know Trey and Tom had to know there was already a song called Come Together. I'm sure they've heard it once or twice before.

Why isn't the song called 'Rise Up', I'm sure there are songs called Rise Up, but none as popular as Come Together.

Jealous of the spacious behind the stage section, Jeff.
I enjoyed what I heard of set two last night and am just getting into a proper listen from the beginning now.
Mr. Completely brought the goods, no doubt.

[mistercharlie]

Wow, this Mr. Completely is some serious business!! Gold, Jerry, GOLD!

people were falling over themselves saying this Caspian is better than Magnaball last night, and I think I disagree.  This Caspian is VERY good, probably equally so, but I think i like Magnaball better.  This is a dirty, raunchy peak.  Which is fucking great.  I love it. 

Marissa also reminds me of 555 for some reason, I keep hearing Mike's bassline in my head.  But I liked it, the vocal melody on this one is VERY strong.  Also, Rise Up/Come Together is fucking sick.  Great stuff there.  I was kinda bummed that Mercury didn't get a jam but that segue was as smooth as you'll ever get, and the jam out of Rise Up/Come Together made up for it very much.  The rest of the set was kinda meh to me after Contact.  Really wanted them to throw in a Bowie and keep the jamming going, but Axilla > Steam > #Line just isn't what I prefer.  Number Line was well-played though. 

Kinda crazy that 4 straight shows have had a 21+ minute jam.  Not sure that's ever happened before in 3.0.
