He did that as a tribute to Tomas Young, who apparently is having a rough time. Regardless of how I feel about the song itself, I think it's touching that Ed would care enough to do that.
I would have replaced one with "Black," but I know that should go without saying.
Two rocking shows though, and it's hard to not want to make the trip up to Mass.

While that is nice, and touching, its still a concert, and the song isn't great, and they played it the night before.
Anyways, I feel like I'm complaining too much. I thought both shows were fuckin' rockin.
But I guess I had my heart set for more.
You guys are spoiled.
I guess it would depend on how many of the 20,000 people at the concert were at night 1. I guess the 11 repeats means about 19 were songs not played the night before?
What's the problem ? the lyrics ? the song itself ?
I personally really love it...

Every time a topic like this comes up, this post should just be put into the thread and left there with no further posts. What band doesn't play any of the same songs each night? A lot of people can only go to one show, and they might want to hear some of the songs the band is most known for.
I'll repeat it: Almost any other band and 23 out of 27 songs would have been repeated.
BUT
many of the repeats were "rarities" that the casual fan that only attends one show, would not know.... so what is the point of playing them both nights?
If it was 11 radio singles I would understand... BUT ALL NIGHT EVERY NIGHT DOENSN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
I have to agree with this. I go to a PJ show with the attitude that if they play 2 or 3 of my favorites and the crowd energy is good I had a great time. Because there are very few PJ songs I dislike.
Plus last night, MSG2, Was my 15 year old son's 1st PJ show and he was completely blown away. He's been going to concerts (Mostly shows in clubs) for about 4 years so he's probably seen about 30 shows, but he was completely amazed.
Plus, no other band, besides Springsteen, plays 3 hour shows. I look at every PJ show as a gift, and savor it.

Would I have preferred to hear a few different songs Night 2? Sure.
But fuck, I ain't complaining. Those were two of the best nights of my life.
for the least they could possibly do
I think this band really has spoiled me though with it's unique sets over the years.
see notes after song title
This guy is a genius.
Listen, every time I hear the opening chord of Corduroy I am the happiest camper. They could play this new W.M.A, Who You Are, Sad, Given to Fly etc. at every single show and I would be happy. Bottom line is, if you love a song you don't mind repeats. If it gets too much perhaps you have gone to too many shows.
Unless it's about boasting on a message board about how many different songs you have heard at shows, but I am kind of glad the band does not cater to that.

I remember Boston 04'. Both nights and only 3 repeats (and can't go wrong with hearing Save You, Evolution and Amercian in Me at each show). Now that was mint. Hopefully Boston gets the same treatment in 08' : )
Not having been to the MSG shows but heard they were Video taping them I would think the repeat number of songs was to get the best versions to release them.
Once I saw those 3 singers out for All Night, I knew they'd be back for Who You Are and WMA, which is fine because I love all 3 songs... but if anyone wants to point the repeat finger, it's because of those three singers really and CJ Ramone... they wanted to get the guests out again and I have no probs there.
Of the repeats though I'd have to say that... I was hoping Guaranteed would be played instead of No More... I'm just kind of tired of No More, don't hate, it just doesn't do much for me although I completely agree w/ the message.
I love Corduroy so I didn't mind that.... but I kinda wished they played a different one instead... something like Hail, Hail even would have been nice in place of it.
I prolly coulda done w/ out I believe in miracles again, I thought it was gonna be Sonic Reducer at first but nope... Still a fun sing along though.
Still wishing they played Black last night, we'll get it in Hartford though.

what the shit.
I think I counted 65 different songs they played over those 4 shows which is incredible.
Stop worrying about the repeats and look at how many different songs they give you from night to night.
Is there another band right now that comes close to 65 different songs over 4 shows?
I'd love it if they did no repeats, but that typically does not happen. They still played, what, 30 or more songs across both nights that were not repeats? That's a lot. See other people's comments re. STP, and other bands.
