ARW tour report: week five (East Coast/Midwest)

Reader beware: this entry contains SPOILERS! for week five of ARW's 2016 North American tour.  If you do not wish to read/view/listen to any details/elements of the tour prior to your applicable show then please do not read this entry!
_____________________________________________________________

Author's Note: A big thank you to everyone who shared photos and videos and impressions on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and the Yesfans discussion forum. Each tour report entry could be considered a work-in-progress as I find more things to add.

In week five the boys return to Pennsylvania to finish up their mega run, as well as visits to the Big Apple and The Queen City before entering the Heartland.  Perhaps Rick will allow himself a cheat day with some Buffalo wings...

And this rhythm section is a Dynamic Duo indeed!

New Buffalo
I know this Meet & Greet photo is from NYC, but I wanted to include it so I'm placing it here as an example of how having a creative sense of humor can transform what is often a generic occasion into something wonderfully special.  John Faulks, my fangirl hat is off to you because this is the best M&G photo ever.  I honestly hope this inspires other fans to have fun with the experience as well.
