I won't let this thread die till I remind people that there were complaints following PJ20 about Chris Cornell having too much of a presence and two of the Temple of the Dog songs being repeated at the second show.

That actually was very annoying.

don't think so. Cornell had recruited the former members of MLB to play on this record before or at the same time they were looking for a singer. I mean Ed was in Seattle rehearsing when he sang on the TOTD album. the timeline is a little hazy but TOTD was the catalyst for PJ. getting Mike in the band and def Matt Cameron playing on the demos.

I get it. But i still don't like that they played 2 days in a row at pj 20. lol
I never liked totd and I am not a fan of Cornell's voice. To each their own bud.

Yes and no. Check this out:

There used to be a great TOTD fan page that delineated the band's history a lot better...but it's gone AWOL (the URL, www.reachdown.com, seems to be available for purchase...). Ultimately, as with almost anything related to the Seattle sound, it's all a bit murky

It was my fifth show of this tour and I had an excellent time. Footsteps, Breath, special guests, the Man trilogy, and some great sing a longs. I think you were expecting too much.

it seems like everyone is expecting too much lately, i don't get it

How was I expecting too much? They mailed this show in and played the greatest hits. What sets this group apart is that they, normally, do not do that.

Let me guess, you send back food at restaurants.

As to letting life get in the way, your choices.

This isn't some Oberlin safe space, people are allowed to post opinions and feelings about the shows that maybe different from yours and it's on you if it bothers you or you let it diminish your experience in any way. I really enjoyed night 2, even more than night 1, but that is my unique lived experience. Everyone is entitled to their own.

Sure but if your able to see PJ at MSG and whine about the set list and claim band is mailing it in it's should be expected to be called a whiner.

@Bdog10 i agree with you that it's laughable when PJ fans say no other bands mix up their sets like PJ. That is so false it's insane. Even DMB, a band that is made fun of like mad around these parts, would not repeat a song on a two night run. And obviously PJ repeats more songs than Phish but that's not really fair. Phish's catalogue is literally endless and they have been around a lot longer. So it's very different. PJ is a rock band. Phish is forced to craft a different show each night. The thing PJ fans don't get about that is that means a lot more than "THEY PLAYED______." You can look at PJ setlist and tell how good a show it was/wasn't. Looking at phish setlist tells you very little. What phish did on 10/31/14 is something so original i literally don't think any band could come close to that.

I agree man. Somehow I'm secretary wishing that I could go on a 3 day PJ run with no repeats, but unfortunately I don't think that will ever happen.

secretary wishing.....is this a new thing?
