i think it was chicago 2009 and a guy had a no evenflow sign. Ed said Mike has to play it or he will go crazy -- its what keeps him from killing guys like you (the guy with the sign) and then Ed offered to help Mike beat him up.

I know this a little off topic, but what if PJ just came out and did a backwards night. You know, open up with RTFW and shook things up a bit.? I was not at any of the LB shows, so they all seemed great following from a distance. That being said here is my top set lists of the tour:

1. Calgary
2. Vancouver
3. San Diego
4. Hartford

Charlottesville
Phoenix
Spokane

and then San Diego, Hartford

I was at Calgary and Spokane. Of my now 8 shows, Spokane was the best one Ive been at (first show, Seattle, Dec '00, right there too). So many gems, and rare shit like Stone singing (whether you like the song or not it was rad energy), the Brain of J haircut (how can you write that into a setlist), the return of PJ after 20 years to Spokane. The hotel full of PJ fans, and the bar playing non stop PJ made it a great vibe. Huge gets for me:Pendulum (hadnt seen it yet, love it). Tremor christ. Present tense. Push me, pull me. I wont back down (amazing). Nothing as it seems. Footsteps. Dont gimme no lip. Brain of J (haircut rarity). Plus many 'standard' awesome songs. Encore 1 was crazy! And yes, being 15 feet from center stage for 3 hours and 11 min didnt hurt either!

Because not everyone has seen PJ 50 times and if it was your first, potentially only PJ concert... wouldn't you want to hear it?

Ha Ha...my daughter's first PJ show. No Even Flow. You are pretty spot on!

Oakland, hands down, longest show of the tour, most songs played, best set list.

I'll separate my list by shows I've seen and shows I haven't this tour

Seen

1. Tie - Bk 2 and Philly 2 - these two shows are very different, despite having the same beginning (wash-nothingman!)...it's impossible for me to pick one over the other. They both had great energy, variation, and near perfect song selection
BK 2 had -
last exit-hail hail-in hiding-down,
present tense-rats,
immortality-solat,
a crazy 1st encore:
footsteps
all those yesterdays!!!
future days
2nd encore:
whipping-blood

while Phl 2 had:
hail hail-satan's bed!!-untitled-mfc
wwsuicide-dte
1st encore:
come back-future days-breath-solat!
2nd encore:
last kiss-leaving here-blood

Satan's bed and ATY were my two biggest holy shit moments, hearing songs I never thought I'd hear.

3. Phl 1 - highlights include crazy mary (insane jam on this one), brain of j-animal, i got id, sirens-lukin-not for you,spin-rvm, man of the hour-off he goes, 1/2 full-leash-i believe in miracles...pilate was kinda fun to hear but it was very sloppy and kinda killed the momentum
4. Bk 1 - highlights - dissident, chloe dancer/crown of thorns, oceans. It's at the bottom because 1st encore's sleight of hand/just breathe didn't do much for me

Unseen: based on song selection/order/rarity and also a bias toward shows that had songs I didn't get to hear (insignificance, smile, after hours, nothing as it seems, severed hand, tremor christ, of the girl, gods' dice, red mosquito, breakerfall)

vancouver
spokane
calgary
Oakland

YLed2

On paper, the 3 that jump out to me and what look like the best to me personally:
1.) Phoenix
2.) Charlottesville
3.) Spokane
