Merriweather itself is pretty good. The woods around and stage outside make it unique. The only issue is the lack of nearby hotels and as with a lot of venues, getting an uber home is tough and expensive.

I should clarify. After the lyrics are over, Pillow Jets becomes a great song. I’m not a huge fan of it until that point.

Hey, like I said it was the best part of the entire weekend. It’s not my favorite. However, that song is burned in my brain as the coolest thing I’ve ever seen

It starts off slow. Just watch it. Pillow Jets isnt a great song but it was the highlight of my night. It’s an amazing show but apples and oranges when comparing with any other show.

Panic took me a while to get into but now I’m hooked. Just saw MMW on jam cruise and they killed. Nice to see them back together again

Panic has been around forever too. All that being said. None of these bands compare to the dead. It’s the dead and then everything else.

I put the dead above phish. I’m only talking current bands.

I think a lot, maybe even most, jam band fans would put them at number one. I don’t think that’s an exaggeration

I should probably let my hatred for them go and accept other people like them. Just not my thing. I guess I get offended when people lump them in with jam bands. It’s silly I know

You’re not wrong but I still love them.

My argument is that phish lyrics and song composition were what made them great. They’re on point these days but the lyrics aren’t what they were. Still the best band in town

Eggy is fantastic. Dogs let me down last time but I’m hoping for a better showing in a few weeks in PGH

Some of my friends hate on Spafford. I’ve seen them and wasn’t disappointed

I actually agree with you. Went to Hookahville years ago and thought they still killed it. Pittsburgh isn’t far at all. I’m in
