    The climax ending of Go in concert is as epic as PJ gets.

    That was really tough but I picked Go since it's more upbeat than Why Go. Both are killer songs nonetheless

    GO
    I like Why Go but, for me, it isn't even close.

    It's a pretty cool 1-2 punch to open a show, however.

    Nowadays they play it a ton, but my first show was '96 and after '95 they stopped playing it until the '03 tour. I finally caught it at Mansfield. That was something like my 19th show.

    I voted for Go. Way heavier song and I lean towards anything heavy from PJ. Why Go is heavy as well, but doesn't compare to Go in that category.

    Release into Go is what I'm hoping top start one of those two Toronto nights. In fact, I'm doing everything in my power to NOT create my own thread about it! (Seems to be working for a few people around here!)

    Question- I've noticed the set lists EV has been writing don't go. Does he always do this?

    ( I thought that is what they have said- maybe I read the 2 I thought said that wrong.)
