I'm still on cloud 9. After the opening act, the field and the first and second levels filled up. The venue completely closed the 3rd level. I'd guess there were around 30k people there.

No one knew anything from CD. I had to quit singing along cause I was the only one and my voice carries. Coma and DTJ threw the audience too, but it was still an amazing show.

Most amazing show of my life. Looking forward to Pittsburgh next week

They completely shut down the upper levels. I'd say the lower two are about 50%. Luckily I got moved from section 346 to 146, so great seats.

I only have Facebook, so no idea how to share photos. Better, Catcher and Sorry were my favorites. So here's hoping. Coma is enough to make me grateful, though Locomotive is my favorite deep track and would love to hear it.

This does not bode well. I bought nosebleed seats to this show cause I got amazing seats to Pittsburgh. All high level seats are being reassigned lower due to poor sales.

A world war or even theatre wide conflict is very unlikely in my opinion. Any conflict on the American continent is damn near impossible due to geography and population densities. Simply put, how would any Army make it close to America before we bombed them from sea. You can't move an Army by air unless you're doing small increments and neither Mexico or Canada would allow that, let alone would it go unnoticed. Even if they somehow transported to North America, where would they enter?  Most of the Southern Border is desert and unpopulated. No issues dropping a nuke there. Most of the northern border is wilderness and unpopulated. Again, no qualms using a nuke there.

Europe is just as unlikely due to no country being able to amass an Army capable of a real threat. Maybe Russia could extend its control to the Ukraine and smaller, former Eastern Bloc countries. But how far would NATO let Russia go before they stationed allied troops in a threatened country to stop further aggression?

If China woke up and decided they no longer wanted to exist they could try something. But it'd be a matter of hours before the west sent a bunch of nukes their way, wiping China off the map.

I just don't see a scenario with the current geopolitical climate where western countries would allow anything like this to happen. And both China and Russsia have the same interest in avoiding a global conflict as they lack the economies and logistics to defend against a Western counter attack.

I don't know if it's fair to suggest the UK couldn't handle a major event. It's not as if their government collapsed and there's no one there to lead. They voted to leave the EU. No more, no less.

They still have a Prime minister and all of his ministers. The banks, industry and commerce are running as usual. Sure the market took a dip, but it's not as if there's a famine and people are searching for food like in Venezuela.

If something happened, the sitting government would act. Just as if something happened to the US after the election before Obama left office.

I disagree.  Sansa withholding the Vale Army from Jon was a major mistake.  With that Army, they could have launched a siege or had some leverage to negotiate Rickon's release.  Instead, Rickon is dead and Jon lost 2k men.  Plus add in whatever losses the Umbers and Karstarks lost that could have eventually been added to the Northern Army. 

Tyrion stopped Dany from burning the entire slaver's fleet because he realized they would need those ships.  Why didn't Sansa realize she'd need every Northerner available to fight against the coming battle.

I just wonder how Jon's King of the North title will handle Bran's return.  Granted, Bran knows Jon is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, so it won't change a whole lot, and Bran could always decline the title.  I just wonder how Sansa will react to being relegated to being a pretty face once again.
