The flow felt weird until they hit Minarets. LIOG, Crush, and Ants were a lot of power in the bottom quarter. Best SPAC encore in the 3 years I've been coming up. The energy felt better N1, but the magic of SPAC always makes it better.

Saturday started with breakfast at the Iron Gate in Albany...tasty raspberry brie french toast and John Denver omelet. Then we toured around Albany and looked at sites, including the Schuyler Mansion. Took time out for my friend to get a new phone, and then had a great Italian dinner at Mama Mia's in Saratoga Springs. Drove down Hwy 50 to SPAC and parked in premier parking. Got to walk around the park for a bit before heading into the venue. Picked up another DMB-vote pin, since I gave mine away on N1. Saw a monster of a show from sweet WH premium seats! Always love Bartender, Recently, Crush, and Warehouse. New songs sounded great as well. And Bayou with Buddy hopping so much he was about to fly off the keys?! Amazing. And my first PFWYG was incredible.
Sunday we met up with one of my friend's colleagues from work & his family. Hung out at their place for a while and then had great fish tacos for lunch at Magdalena's in Valatie NY. Booked it out to Springfield MA to catch the last hour of the Basketball Hall of Fame being open, and then headed back to Albany for Smashburger dinner and one more night at the hotel.
Monday had breakfast at Cafe Madison (spicy chicken & waffles) before my friend dropped me back of at Albany airport. Great trip!

Well, that was pretty incredible. Great opener, then a slow burn that kept on building. The guys played their hearts out, and for a long time. Awesome encore. PFWYG sounded amazing, and then the Too Much fake into Halloween was a certified chef's kiss

One of my most favorite shows ever. Hung back on the lawn with my 7 month old who also enjoyed it very much. We had a few great neighbors with kids, and I met another couple with a 6 month old. Also saw a newborn at the show, which made me feel better about bringing a 7-month old, haha?!?
Loved the setlist, and the energy was incredible. Enjoyed more than Friday night (also great). I KNEW Halloween was coming with the Too Much fake-out. :)

Loved this set. Had a great time. First for me in the balcony at SPAC. Louisiana Bayou was a great showing, Warehouse always pumps up the crowd, ants for the closer was amazing, but seriously the Too Much -> Halloween was unbelievable. That really put this show far and above anything on this tour in my opinion.

Really good show! Opener of Bartender, then Can't Stop annnnd the worst 2 songs back to back ever: Proudest Monkey - > Satellite.. Yuck! Some good ones such as Breakfree, longest Seek Up ever and Minarets. Then Pay for What You Get!!! But wait there's more, Too Much fake into HALLOWEEN!!!!. That ending makes it a 5 for sure.

Warehouse forward was excellent. Still fine before Warehouse but for me it caught fire at Warehouse.
Can't Stop......but I wish they would. It wouldn't be missed. Seek Up was A-MA-ZING! PFWYG was beautiful. LIOG, Ants, Crush were all on fire as would be expected.

First time at SPAC and not a fan. Sitting outside very far from the stage and not feeling like part of the event. Couldn't see any part of the stage. Not for me. Also, not a fan of the Halloween closer.
