White whale perhaps, and if so then I suppose that makes me Ahab because I've been fortunate to see Oceans at 3 of my last 4 shows (Columbus 2000, London 2005, Nashville 2003). All openers.
The only time I haven't seen them open with Oceans in the last decade was the back to backer in Indy in 2000. Had that happened, then I think I would have developed a peg leg for sure.
So, if you want to see this white whale, I suggest going to STL in 50 days.
Oceans I believe was the first song I ever saw PJ perform in person at Meadowlands, NJ 98. Also saw it again in Brooklyn Night 1. Not sure if I saw it any other times, dont think I did.
Oceans was opener in Rio 2015. Opener in Rio 2018 was Release, coincidentally (posts above). Both shows had fantastic setlists, btw. Wish they played SA more often...
Release, Oceans, Nothingman to start the show in Detroit may be the best concert moment I have ever experienced.
Was there myself, unbelievable start!

Wrigley night 2 in 2016. If you went to all 5 Wrigley shows, you could have almost knocked out all of Ten. "Once" was the only song they didn't play. They even played Ten era songs like "Breath" "SOLAT" "Wash" "Yellow Ledbetter" "Footsteps" and "Evil Little Goat."

Those of us lucky enough to see the Ottawa show,
saw Garden as well. The perfect Ten triple play in 2022!
