Tour 2023 - North American leg - Show #05 - Aug 30, 2023 - MetLife Stadium - East Rutherford, NJ Night #1 setlist thread

Official tourposter.

From twitter yesterday (Aug 29, 2023).

General concert information.

I just looked on StubHub and there are a lot of tickets for the New Jersey shows. Many are below cost. Philly fans, a great opportunity.

I was for the heck of it checking Tickpick which shows the price inclusive of all fees. Prices have really come down. As they always do especially for the outdoor stadium shows.

Have a great show everyone.

Not your father's 2023 setlist

Great night here at Metlife. Beautiful weather with a nice breeze. The set list speaks for itself. Perhaps my new favorite show of the tour if it doesn’t go off the rails.

We are on the floor tonight in Section 7 just back of the soundboard. Sound was rough for the first few songs, but got sorted quickly. View is surprisingly good of both the stage and the screens.

Hoping for Seven Nights or LOHAD in the encore but a fantastic night no matter what.

It goes to show that only a tweak or two is needed to really bring up the energy. Lonesome Day and Sherry Darling and the whole first half flows better. We'll see if any changes are in store for the 2nd half but I'd doubt it. Starting to really look forward to Sunday!

You getting to the hotel on Saturday or Sunday?

Sunday midafternoon probably.

Sunday midafternoon probably.

I'll be in the lot by then.

We haven't decided on a firm timeline yet - we want to get to parking in time for handicapped spaces. The problem is that I can't walk very far (in fact, once we're inside the stadium I'll call for a ride to our seats from guest services.) . The same in reverse at the end of the show.

So, depending on where the tailgate(s) is/are located, I may or may not be able to get there.

Assuming there is cell service in the parking lot, you have my number and we can try to meet up if the travel is workable for me.

Start Time - 8:00pm
End Time -   10:55pm

Sherry Darling - MetLife Stadium - Aug 30, 2023

Just having a wild card or two vastly improves the show.

Just wondering why no Patty?

Just a total guess but maybe she just doesn't wanna do it anymore.

Grandmothers love watching Grandchildren above all else.
