    That would be amazing. I would love of the girl to open toronto!

    Get some binaural love going!

    Would be nice, had the pleasure of hearing them open with it at Camden 2 in 2000.

    Probably my favorite from Binaural.

    I love this song (and Can't Keep) as an opener, but I would also love to hear it as an encore with a nice, lenghty jam. Someday...

    Errgh.. "Can't Keep" is probably my least favorite PJ song. I like 99% of their catalogue, but for some reason I could never get into that one.

    Sorry to hear that.

    I hold this to be their best opening song for any album.

    Further, the 1st 3 tracks of Riot Act are the best place 3 songs of any album, that is not named 10.

    I never get tired of Can't Keep.

    The drums and Eddie voice, both build like the biggest of waves and then explode.

    "I want a last breath
    I don't let out"

    Being a swimmer I can so relate to these lyrics.

    Great concert in Toronto last night......the special night they put on for us with the opening acts member not being able to get across the boarder, was amazing. Each guy definitely had a different sound compared to the Pearl Jam sound but it was great to hear. I pitty anyone who missed Eddie's pre-show performance.

    Now getting to the concert was another issue (crazy temporary fences everywhere for the CNE). There was about 10-15 of us trying to get out to start walking east instead of west towards the amphitheatre.

    Good times.

    Great minds think alike. I feel the same way, I just looooooooove those 2 songs! Heard Can't Keep as an opener (Melb 3 '03) and it was great. Have yet to hear OTG and it's the song I most want to hear of theirs live, with Release opening one of the shows (am going to 4 Australian shows). That would be unbelievable! :D

    I picked up a medium t-shirt last night but need it in large. Fits pretty slim. Anyone want to trade? Send me a PM.

    I told my friends before the show about this thread, and that if I could pick any opener it would be Of the Girl.

    I also said there was 0% chance they would play it. I will not live that one down, but i couldnt have been happier

    I didn't get off that planet until the wee hours of the morning.

    I don't know if it was karma or if somebody reads these threads...........But I just want to say a BIG, THANK YOU! (if you do indeed read and follow up on these things)

    BEAUTIFUL!

    This was such an awesome opener, I'm glad you got your song BeerBaron. While they were playing it I was thinking to myself "somewhere amongst this insane crowd BeerBaron is a happy camper"

    ..............and then the birthday comes around and Binaural is wrapped up. Of The Girl has never sounded better, except for live in Toronto.
