I gotta say that the 2010 Kansas City show I up there as far as quality and overall awesomeness!

Check it out if you get the chance.

    I have to agree that the KC boot version of Of the Girl does sound pretty good!

    Um, the only ones I really know are Camden 9-2-00 and Benny Hall. Not sure which is better. I do really love this song though. I guess the low-key nature is off-putting to some, I don't know. My fave on Binaural.

    KC 2010 was fantastic. I took my friend to his first PJ show that night, and Of the Girl is now his favorite song. I also gained a new appreciation for it.

    I agree 100 percent. It's got a harder edge that the song always needed!

    Opening the KC show with Of The Girl was awesome. And whoever said it had a little harder edge to it was right on. They were pumped and ready to go that night. I also took a couple of friends to their first PJ show that night and it was a great way to start the night.

    A dirty version of Of The Girl is an awesome way to start a show.

    I'll put my request in now - boys, next time you play Perth, Australia, please open with Of The Girl :lol:
