I beg to differ. Five songs made their tour debut tonight, including "Leatherman" and "Habit", which are both quite rare.

Yeah now that I think about it you are kinda right. The habit was very good, and Soon Forget was definately unexpected, and I really digged Faithful. I just meant that there seems to be a lot of consistency with a lot of the setlists played in Canada, with new additions sprinkled in as they go along. I'm certainly not complaining, it was one of the best shows I've been to.

I'm still holding out for Tremor Christ, and Satan's Bed. Pipe dream I know.

Okay, just got home and WOW! That was by FAR the best show I've ever seen. I might be biased because my fanclub tix were way better than any I've ever had before. But there's no denying that was a smoking show. I'm still buzzing from the energy!
I finally got to see YL live! I know its not a big deal cause they play it all the time, but it was my first, and wow.
LBC was smokin, what a great version. I noticed that Boom wasn't out for most of the songs, and the ones he was on you could barely hear him.
It was great to hear Gimme Some Truth in there, after a quick little rant about Bush.
Mike did the solo to Faithful (I'm pretty sure )behind his head, man they smoked that song too.
Habit and Blood, what a way to end the main set. Eddie came out after to slow it down with Luke the Uke. Tried Soon Forget, but only got through about half, cause he screwed it up bad. Started right into Can't Keep. I never noticed before how much that sounds like Battle of Evermore. Weird.
Man of the Hour was a nice surprise, and Small Town (which Eddie told us was called Small Town in a Big Country) was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen. The whole crowd was SO into it. Then you throw in Daughter, Black and Alive. Just in awe at this point. Alive was the most energetic I've seen the band in a while, it was amazing.
The whole band was just unbelievable, they just seemed to feed off our energy. We got a 5 song second encore which is more than I had even hoped, 3 of which I'm SO very happy to have seen. God I can't wait to see what they break out in Ottawa, they're gonna have to do some Oh Canada or something in our nations capital. The crowd started singing it tonight right as PJ were taking the stage, it was too cool.
Anyway, I'll probably make a little more sense tomorrow, so I'm off to bed, gonna have some rockin' dreams tonight no doubt!

Peace
:-p

"Crown Of Thorns" and "Hunger Strike" both came to mind.

Was it just me, or was that the longest version of "Black" ever played? The ending went on and on, seemed like they didn't want to stop.

Yeah I'd Like to see the time on that one I thought the same thing!!

I'm drawing a blank on which song it was, but Ed said something to the effect of "That was amazing to see so many people acting in unison. When you do that for something important it scares the shit out of people"

Was after "Indifference", I believe.

given2fall

Damn, that was incredible!
I think Blood and MOTH were definately the highlights of the night. They went completely psycho on Blood - it was awesome to see. And they nailed MOTH (I swear Ed almost got a little choked up in the beginning of it). And Ed BUTCHERED Soon Forget, way worse than I've ever heard him do before - it was awesome (too funny!):)
It looked like they didn't want to leave. They already had the lights on for Baba, but the crowd was going too crazy to let them go, so they played Ledbetter. They really seemed to enjoy the show, probably because the crowd was amazing. Ed got us very involved, we sang along to lots of different bits and eveyone was jumping around in unison with the lights flashing on us.
But the best part was at the end of the night when my little sister (who is only aquainted with PJ through me, otherwise she listens to top 40 stuff) turned to me and said she now has a huge crush on Mike McCready and Matt Cameron.
Even though it wasn't my favorite setlist ever, they made every song incredible. The last show I went to (Toronto) didn't even compare. Though my enjoyment was probably partly due to having 10C seats for the first time, which were way better than I expected (Side-stage, Stone's side, 2nd row, right in the aisle).
Unbelievable, I can't wait to hear the boot, and to see them again tomorrow. The only problem is, there's no way my voice will make it through the next couple of days.

sometimes I cringe

UNBELIEVABLE show!!...just amazing...that was an awesome setlist, the best of this tour so far...the boys love small venues

faithful, habit, blood, can't keep, WMA tag, indifference, and yellow ledbetter were highlights for me...blood was absoultely amazing...I don't think they could have played that better during vs.

Anyone else think right before playing alive, when ed was talking about mother love bone and the such, that they were gonna bust out crown of thorns?

And did anyone hear me yell out right when everyone went silent there crown of thorns on mikes side on the side stage?

Yeah, made an ass outta myself there!

Hope it's on the boot :P

I was standing on Stones side and yelled the exact same thing at the exact sametime. Great minds we are

wow. that was maybe the best PJ show ive ever seen!

then i hope you have only seen 2 shows

although enc 2 was passable

res perv

good show. didnt leave amazed, but left satified and had a great time. wanted to hear animal and faithfull and got those two. couple comments...

ed sounded terrible on Gimme Some Truth

Given to Fly cant be played enough. one of their best live songs.

Black seemed longer than usual. so did Alive but that might have just been me.

i thought Jeremy sounded great considering I Never really cared for it on any of the boots i have

Some people said this show was better than buffalo 03'. and that's not true.

can't wait until toronto!

MissYouAllDay

A wicked show indeed. I think the crowd was a little slow to start, but they really got going!!! LIke long road is a toughie for casual fans eh.

But yah, man of the hour was great, black was cool, I have always wanted to see it. I agree with the guy who said his voice is gonna be shot. Mines already done for after tonight, then london (I estimate will have the craziest crowd) and them hamilton (where I estimate the weakest crowd) I will not be able to talk by wednesday.

Then I have White Stripes friday, Jack Johnson saturday, then Pearl Jam again monday!!!

I wish my GF would dance around more, like she enjoys it but just stands there. Plus the people to my right were just kinda standing there. I am going nuts in london regardless of the people around me.

last exit ruled, Animal made me high as a kite. It was at that point I reexperienced the feeling that causes me to spend hundreds on PJ tickets. In fact I am shocked no one has mentioned this. Animal was popular back in the day, but no Jeremy, and the whole place was belting out the chorus like you wouldn't believe, and this is only the 3rd song in!!!

It was funny they did the whole thing where they are done after baba, and then mike straps on his strat and "argues" with ed for a minute or 2 while we all shit ourselves and then they play ledbetter. It was spectacular. I personally think baba is one of the best PJ live songs. Its just so uplifting, as soon as I hear it I have to jump ( this time on the stationary girl besides me foot) )

Betterman was solid. I was thinking it might be the closer cause it went really long. There was an improv after the WMA tag that no one has mentioned. It was basically ED ripping on Bush and Chenney, which us Canadians generally enjoy

Another note, after betterman there was definately a hint of save it for later, some notes were played the beat was there, but it never happened. maybe next show

Ed fell down a few times and that was funny, really got the crowd going. After Ledbetter he fell straight to the ground like a board, it was funny. During Baba he was smashing tambourines into bits ( well knocking the silver discs off them anyway)
Can't keep on the uke is something I love.

Also another note, he dedicated MOTH to Johnny ramone.

Hmm what else can I remeber?

He actually said about edmonton "fucking motherfuckers" the 2nd time when he was showing us how he can just make us go nuts by making fun of edmonton even though he doesn't mean it.

He said that Luke the Uke was named after Luc Robataille, and we all freaked out. Then he said "what do you think of Chris Chelios?" and we all booed
His hockey knowledge seems impressive!

Habit was cool, but I wish I was around more jammers for that one.

Yah so it was a wicked concert and the crowd impressed as the show went on. I would love to hear a review from a naive journalist who went to the show not knowing what to expect, as I am sure they'd be blown away.

two words "mind blowing."
his was my first show of the tour and one thing i should point out is the intesnity in Eddies eyes. Sitting five rows back Stone's side i could of sworn it was 92' all over again. Mike and Jeff were all over the place like usual but it was Eddie who stole the show. He sounded unreal, every song he sung with such intense passion he almost caused the roof of the building to pop.
He frequenlty ran to the back of the stage, side to side trying to envolve everyone in the show. during "blood" he threw himself to his knees, head hung with sweat dripping , gripping the microphone tightly screaming and spitting out the lyrics.
A big highlight was MOTH, It was beautiful and the crowd really enjoed it, giving the band a big ovation, Eddie took notice thanking us.

I also had a blast at the CCFC fundraiser i met alot of great people , it felt like i was hanging out with some family.

(:Smile:)

The band and Ed fucking up all the time, starts to annoy me a little bit.

not4u

i was there. They were fuckin rockin'!. its was truley awesome. Ed was on. The whole band was on. fire

wow what a night, just got back from driving 7 hours back to PA, must say probably been the best show I've ever been to, and the perfect end to a 3 day road trip(Niagra, Tornto, Kitchner). There was so much energy it was crazy. Given to fly, in my tree, and betterman were my highlights, it even looked like he pointed right at me during during betterman and I was 21 rows back, amazing show!

See ya in Philly!
