Half Full as a closer

edited March 2008 in The Porch
came on today on my shuffle during my workout, was gonna skip it but let it play.....that song seriously rocks at the end, it seems like a great concert closer

i have nothing wrong with YL, and who could complain about Indiff to end the night....but next time you listen to Half Full, picture the amount of rocking that song does live with master mike and the gang going nuts on stage

    One of my favorite PJ songs....that would be great!
    Oh half his life, a hand me down, wasted away
    Of he fills it up, with the love, of a girl...

    A little anti-climatic maybe.
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    I love the song but I can see it more as a "corduroy" replacement in the #2 or #3 slot. It is one of those songs that gets my energy going, not bringing it down...I'm always trying to think of new closers too though...

    worst song in the band's catalogue. i hope they never play it again.

    I've often thought the same thing myself.

    Haha...I think it's funny how even amongst the most die hard fans there are these differences of opinions. I for one DO hope they play it again...LOVE it live, but you are entitled to your opinion. ;)

    Well, they'd get me to leave if they played it. So consider it a closer.

    Agreed, worst song they've done.

    For some reason, I don't like it.

    im not overly keen on half full...but mike does rock it. but i love evacuation. love it. maybe im biased due to my affliation with matt cameron, but evacuation owns.

    Half full is one of the only songs i like off of riot act. I like the blues-rockiness.
  • VMGACgVMGACg Posts: 135
    just found new appreciation for it recently. its really a great song.
    IMO they should have made release a frequent closer. its too perfect to end a long show. but its too late now.

    of course it would be bad ass but it wont happen...pj has closed with the same handful of songs their whole career, i dont see that changing.....
    8.29.00-4.29.03-4.30.03-5.2.03-7.2.03-7.3.03-7.8.03-7.9.03-7.11.03-9.28.04-9.29.04-10.1.04- 10.2.04-10.3.04-5.12.06-5.24.06-5.25.06
    ...i know all the rules but the rules do not know me, guaranteed...

    I think it would be cool to see it close the MAIN SET. But not a show. Definitely the main set though, that'd be rockin'.

    agreed, main set closer it is

    what about that perfect closer YLB? why play something different ? would love to hear 1/2 Full live but not to close out the show.
  • LikeAnOpeningBandForTheSunLikeAnOpeningBandForTheSun Posts: 6,097
    i've never been happy with a cover as their closer, but i think YL should close most of the time
