    I'm pretty happy with that! 12 shows with 11 different openers (who can complain about seeing Release more than once???) Animal for my first show in 93... NAIS (one of my all-time top 5 PJ songs)... the first time WWS was played... Alive as an opener? Come on! Hard To Imagine... the first time EV played Long Road at a solo show... yep, I'm very happy with my list so far! :D

    man Hard To Imagine would be amazing! Has 'Blood' ever opened a show? I think that would be just insanely awesome

    Well, shit, you're right. They did play it in Dallas. In the encore. I don't recall that AT ALL. I do recall the other 3 I mentioned. But San Diego was an encore one, too, which means I'm one short on my list of opening tunes. Hmmmmm...

    You could check it on the iPhone... There's an app for that:)

    Oh... Wait:)

    See can Ye download it anyways. I know the guy is working on an android version. It's the coolest most useful piece of PJ related technology out there.

    I'm still 99% certain they played that new version of I'm Open in London 07. I've heard that bugger somewhere.
  • I'm off next week. I'll dig up my master recording of London and ye can listen for yerself. I'm tellin' ye it was Dusseldorf! I don't have an android phone either, so I'm still fucked! :D
