What strikes me the most about the Dublin Fanviews is not only the great response to Inside Job as an opening song, but the anticipation by everyone for it to be played in the first place.

Cheers to our European friends :p I’m so glad you guys are finally getting a chance to see the band again.

All those ‘first time seeing the band after all these years’ Fanviews are prompting a few tears of joy over here. So happy for you PJ nuts :)

Thanks for all the fantastic Fanviews, edwho

  • I thought they were gonna run out and blaze into animal or comatose but inside job couldnt have been anymore perfect for an opener at that show!
  • inside job really captures where the band is now. it highlights mr mike, who totally deserves everything right now. so in some way i'm kinda not surprised they lead off with it.
  • i was desperate to hear that song live, so when they started on it i honestly cried!
  • Thought it was a great opener - was kinda hoping for Sometimes but wouldn't swap now.

    Haha yeah i know how you feel, That couldnt have been anymore perfect as an opener and it wouldnt have the same effect if they played it at any other time during the show.

    Yeah I never thought it would be something they would play as an opener, maybe because it closes the album, but it fitted so well at the beginning. I love the song even more now if that's possible :)

  • I might be a bit biased as this is slowly taking over as one of my favourite tracks on the album but I thought it was a great opener, the intro is a real slow-burner, really built up the anticipation nicely, then the band appeared on stage & started singing & it built from there :D
