Cincinnati, OH / 06.24.06 - set list: I thought this was a fantastic show. The Cincy crowd was really into it and constantly cheered and sang. I really liked the set list too. US Bank Arena was the same venue in which 11 people were crushed to death at a Who concert in December of 1979, and I think with the tragic anniversary of the Roskilde Festival approaching it was something that weighed heavy on the mind of the band, as it was talked about by Ed during the show. Ed did The Kids Are Alright as his pre-set and the band closed with Baba O'Riley. Ed also brought up his disdain for the current Rolling Stone cover which featured just him when RS had promised them it would be the entire band featured on the cover. (A shitty bait and switch by RS if you ask me.) He said he had 50 copies of it so that when he takes a shit he has something to wipe his ass with. This prompted wild laughter from the crowd. My favorite show quote from this whole tour was from this night as well. It was something Ed said to someone towards the end of the show that was holding up a sign that said: PLAY THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT. "Play The Kids Are Alright!?! I already played it at 7:30 you ASSHOLE!" hahaha I hate people that hold up signs begging for songs, so I loved it when he said that.

I was in row R on the floor between Stone and Ed. I only have a 3x optical zoom, so it was kind hard to get nice, tight shots. Also, it was difficult for me to get shots that didn't have a fist or hat or head or sign blocking one of the band members. Only a few were worthy of even uploading, and you can find them below. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to get any good, clear shots of Jeff either. Sorry Jeff fans.

Help me to keep this stuff up here and free for all fans to download and enjoy by respecting my bandwidth. I ask that you PLEASE DO NOT DIRECT LINK TO THE PHOTOS! If you download these files and share them or put them up under your own web space, that is fine by me (please give credit tho, thanks). What I don't want is my bandwidth used up just because you want a PJ image for your site and are too lazy, cheap or stupid to download & re-upload it yourself. (Yes, this includes direct linking on message boards.)
