I live in NY and have gone to some shows in and out of the city but mostly Jersey. In Philly last week the audience that I saw did not sit down, did not flee when WWWB was played. The energy was so thick you could feel it through the rafters. In Conn last year the audience was very different. Last week they got such a great setlist and not a Jon on auto pilot. Jon was not on auto at last years show. The question is why did the audience get what they got and the crowd at MSG got more of the same. I think it was because the crowd at the Saturday show in his opinion and mine was different than the Friday aud the week before. After the Friday night show I said it was f**k the casuals night and I think it was. Jon feeds of the audience and unfortunately sometimes takes his cues from them. The last MSG show with the technical issues was weird because Jon rolled with the punches which was different.

There could be so many reasons why he and the show seem different when he is close to home. I think many performers act different at home.
