Chicago show review by this kid at the home board: PT at Riv in Chicago - 4/30/10 Post #5023 Filmed for awesomeness! Awesome review! It sounds like at the Dallas show we were standing where you guys were there. Wilson came over and played within touching distance. It was insane!!!! Chicago must be a big PT town, from the sound of it. Add Chitown to my list of destinations when they tour again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripdad Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 QUOTE (nappy2112 @ May 2 2010, 01:18 AM) PT rocked Cincinnati ! that is all. Yep - Great show! Only complaint was it could have been louder.

vprtrls Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 PT put on a great show Sunday in Detroit. Stephen was baffled at the lameness of the crowd though (as was I). It seemed to me that 95% of the crowd were first timers at the show and for the music. He said something about "demographics". Certainly Detroit was weak compared to the Chicago stories. Whomever decided to put seats down in the normally General Admission area put a major damper on the crowd. Everybody was sitting on their butts from my vantage point. I rocked as hard as I could from the section above main floor then did mainfloor for the encores. No way to bust to the front area. I wish I would have made it inside earlier to see Big Elf. The lead guy and other band dude was hanging out in the lobby after PT finished and was signing CD's and chilling with fans, pretty cool. I was trying to unload an extra sweet ticket and as usual, ate it and gave it away to a random fan. I did luck out after the show as I walked to the front of the stage and I asked a roadie for a pick, and he gave me a greyish/green pick out of a little cup attached to a mic stand that Stephen used. The pick was certainly used and abused with all the heavy riffing. Geekville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson actually had to tell us to cheer down some on the quieter songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think about the guy that was attending his 38th show on the tour ? Steven told him you're wasting your time , we're not going to play anything you haven't heard so far. By the way I thought they weren't very loud the last time they played there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) Love PT...saw them down here in Miami at the Filmore....fantastic show. Other than Rush...hands down the best band in the world....and I would put Muse 3rd on that list. Amazing they have not caught fire in the states. I have gotten 8 people into them hard core...trying my best to spread the disease. FOABP and Nil recurring are my absolute favorites...but I also love The Incident, Deadwing, Lightbulb Sun and In-Absentia. Stupid Dream is good and Signify is also good. I really have not delved farther back than that although I do have Stars Die....their earlier stuff is much more atherial (sp?).

Some of their best work, imo. The accoustic version of Normal from We Lost the Skyline is AWESOME!!!! They also played it in Dallas a few weeks ago. Killer.
