    London ON 09.12.05, blue line to the stage on Stone's side.

    That 05 Canada Tour (Lost Dogs Tour) brought out the b-sides, saw Black Red Yellow and Oceans that same night.
    The last PJ show I went to was the best PJ show ever, that is until they come around again of course

    I was there that night too! I had won the lottery and was in row 11 i believe. Every concert we go to we play "Call the Opener" and I said Hard to Imagine that night and Wash night two in Mansfield. Pretty solid tour that doesn't get a ton of respect other than Hartford (rightfully so as that was an amazing show and was so happy to be there!)

    Long winded response, but I love hard to imagine and wish they played it more often but I guess the rarity of hearing it live is what makes it so special! WOOO!

    FWIW, row 11 isn't lottery winner. Lottery winners get seats in rows 1, 2, 9 or 10.

    I decided to extend my run one more show in the hopes that they would play my favorite song... highly unlikely as it had only been played maybe twice on the tour so far. but when Eddie started the following sentence.. I somehow instantly knew he was talking about HARD TO IMAGINE.. still my favorite show because of this. PJ20 is close 2nd.

    Eddie- "This is one that maybe, (ah) two of you know, maybe 10 maybe 20. But we are playing it for the 10, the 20, the 2 that do know....if you at least want to know the title it's called "Hard To Imagine".

    AMAZING

    and then Chicago 8-24-2009 as the show opener... magical in its own right.

    wow, so we have sat close together because I was right behind this person. I won 2nd row lottery that night and was right in this position, I didn't see my self when they panned to the crowd, so strange to see the song from my exact view and the way I remembered it, I remember Mike waving his hand through the song lol
