    RELEASE!!!

    not only is it the best opener....it's one of their best songs period!



    just My words! ;)


    So true, especially when the house lights are down for the first few minutes of the song. Chills.
    Does anybody know off the top of their head if PJ has ever played release other than for the opener?
  • I've seen these, in this order:

    Oceans
    Of The Girl
    LBC
    Crazy Mary
    Wash
    Severed Hand
    HTI
    Release
    Corduroy

    ----

    Out of those Wash & Release were the most powerful, with LBC & HTI very close behind. But, I really need to see Long Road someday! That's my favorite on the boots.
  • Release in Pittsburgh '06 was AMAZING

    Agreed! Loved Betterman Cleveland '06 too!

    RELEASE...no contest!!!!!!

    That said, Even Flow has never let me down.

    My first show 8-16-92, and then heard it again 9-5-2000. Both were very, very good shows!

    Pretty sure they closed their 92 Limelight gig with Release--they played a backwards set.... and thanks to the power of the internet my recollection is confirmed...
