Episode 300: Madison Square Garden – 9/11/2022

Welcome to Live On 4 Legs’ officially unofficial 300th podcast episode! The timing worked out perfectly on this because in order to hit a milestone, you have to do something special. It just so happens that the band is in Madison Square Garden this week, and that’s a pretty special venue to go back to. Since we covered every Garden show from 1998-2016 back in 2019, the only one left to do was from two years ago on the Gigaton tour.

The show took place on the 21st anniversary of 9/11, which you couldn’t have asked for a more important stage and city to play on. The weight of the tragedy was on everyone’s minds and many of the song choices were picked to reflect the emotion that this date naturally brings. Songs like Release, Come Back and Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns were just a few that captured the moment of what that night was. We’ll get into some emotional Ed’s speeches where he hares stories from first responders and calls for unity in America.

Also, Randy happened to be at this show and had a very lofty goal he was looking to accomplish to bring back a former Garden moment from their history. He’ll gush over his favorite performances such as Present Tense, Porch, Sonic Reducer and how Rockin’ In The Free World almost made him need a hearing aid.
