With 4 shows, it's time to bring it back! This song has got to open at least one of the shows, unless of course PJ plans on ripping through all their albums in order!

    35 shows with no Oceans
    36 After Toronto
    40 if they don't play it in Philly

    Pennsylvania has been devoid of Oceans for 17 years. It is never played anywhere near PA.

    Oceans is a must and my top request, as I've never heard it live. Way too much Wash in Philly the past few tours. Give us Oceans, Long Road, Of The Girl and, YL as Philly openers. :)

    Agreed! Def. too much WASH in the Philly area. We also get severed hand a lot. I hope they play Oceans on the Night 1 in Philly. I will enjoy every other opener that much more on nights 2-4.

    Check out the "Open with Oceans" flyer I made, we need to flood the arena with signs for the first 3 nights if necessary, until they get the hint!

    It's been a long 14 years for me.Heard it my one and only time at Milwaukee's Summerfest on July 8th,1995 :D
    I could use it again.

    We will be lucky if we get to hear a Billy Ocean cover during 4 day's in Phillibuster. :lol::cry:

    It's hard to Imagine that this song is not played more. Only 66 times out of how many shows ever? I am hoping they don't waste it in England today or tomorrow. I don't want to be greedy, but I'd love to hear it in Toronto as well as Philly. If they play it tonight or tomorrow, there is no chance they play it in Toronto. I hope they get "wash" out of their system before they come stateside!

    Ironically enough, I heard Dirty Frank and It's OK in the SAME SHOW at the gorge! I got my SECOND crown of thorns that night too! What a show!

    Not including backspacer (heard "got some" and "fixer" in Toronto) I'm missing:
    Oceans
    No Way
    Pilate
    Push Me, Pull me
    Black Red Yellow
    Fatal
    Undone
    Education

    Have you heard all of these?

    I got Oceans twice on the west coast in 2006. Still no Wash.

    Hopefully get Wash in LA or SD 09..... although I would gamble Oceans is a lock at one of those 5 shows.

    The Pacific Ocean has that effect on the boys.

    Yep, got it that night too. Was my 31st show and getting it in the middle of Canada was a nice surprise.

    That show is severely underrated on here:

    set: Oceans, Breakerfall, Corduroy, Hail Hail, Animal, Glorified G, Black Red Yellow, In My Tree, Better Man/(Modern Girl), You Are, Not For You, Jeremy, Wishlist, Even Flow, Bleed For Me, Rearviewmirror

    first encore: Nothing As It Seems, Off He Goes, Hard To Imagine, Alive

    second encore: Go, Grievance, Elderly Woman…, State of Love and Trust, Smile, Rockin’ in the Free World

    Plus the whole Let Stone sing chant ...

    Ed tries to start “Elderly Woman…” and is interrupted by a “Let Stone Sing!!” chant from the floor. Enough so that Ed walks to the front of the stage to listen, and Matt gets a beat going in time with the chant, then Ed doing the chant on the mic. Ed first says “NO! he will never sing … he shan’t never sing”, laughing and looking at Stone, who is pretending to be busy with his guitar. Ed says “you make it sound like someone is not letting Stone sing. Stone Gossard can sing any song, at any time, on any stage”. Then Stone walks to Ed’s mic and says “what I really want to do is dance”, which gets Ed and Matt starting an improv jam, with Jeff and Mike quickly joining in. The spotlight shines on Stone, and he starts dancing, goofing around shaking his ass – continuing it for a good amount of time! – the crowd loving it, the band cracking up.

    That was definitely one of the best shows ever; totally underrated.

    I'll be seeing ya in Philly (shows 2-4), along with P&E (she'll be at all 4). :) We're using my 10c number so maybe we'll be seated close by?

    Oceans, Of the Girl, Long Road... all great openers.

    Please play No Way somewhere along the line, too...
