Remember when they unleashed 'Ole'? That one disappeared. I'll never forget Ed screaming it in the face of those people in Vancouver that weren't digging it. Sure glad I wasn't on the rail- he would have been screaming at me.
"Wtf is wrong with you assholes? Why don't you rock out to this sick song? It's awesome isn't it? Ole!"

Yeesh.
he didn't really say that, did he? I gotta admit, while the lyrics are sub par, I think the actual music to Ole is awesome. I loved hearing it live. I think there is a reason, though, why they gave it away.

No. I was paraphrasing with some artistic liberties.
He actually didn't say anything but other than scream the lyrics at the folks with a face contorted in anger.

ah, haha. well, people want angry ed back. they got it. they just didn't know he'd be angry at THEM. HAHA.
aren't seattle and vancouver crowds notorious for being horrible to pj?
I just listened to BS yesterday. Love that record. Didn't at first, but it grew on me.
I haven't got there with BS yet. It took Riot Act years to grow on me, it's one of my favorites now.
I think I'll have a hard time with BS...The End, Just Breathe....eh
Riot Act was like single malt scotch and uni (sea urchin) sushi for me. It was a long and slowly acquired taste that I now love.
I caught Half full in Lexington this year. I wish they played more binaural/riot act/avocado tracks
Half full!!! I almost locked eyes with Jeff. I just happened to jump at the right time and caught his attention haha but im too short so I dropped fast! Anyway, I was getting down all nite and twice I was in my own world and looked up and Ed was right in front of me! I missed him both times lmao. Idiot!!
Had sooooo much fun in KY! Education!
I do like thought unknown but truth be told that song did not save the album. unknown thought? Unthought known why cant I figure this out
Oh please let it rain today.

aren't seattle and vancouver crowds notorious for being horrible to pj?
Vancouver is notorious for being great to them.
Seattle not so much.
I was at the Vancouver show where Ed claimed he'd like to move to Vancouver... except then Van would probably turn to a 'shit crowd' too so maybe not. Funny thing is... I was at the Seattle show (night 2) right before the Van show and kinda though the same thing- people were streaming out the moment the main set ended.
PJ hasn't shown much love to the west coast in recent times. It would have been nice if they did their big east coast show (Fenway), midwest show (Chicago), and then a 2 or 3 night stop at the Gorge for the western folk. Oh well. Maybe 2019 or so.
the more i think about Backspacer the more i realize how upbeat of an album this was minus a couple songs...every time I listen its an instant mood changer

oh, i thought van crowds were apathetic. maybe i'm remembering wrong because of the one show he was yelling at people. either way, if i lived in van, i would have seen them more then 5 times in my life, that's for damn sure.

I agree. I feel like Lightning Bolt is so similar to Unthought Known though. I'm starting to prefer LB more, and it makes me forget how great Unthought Known is.
Lightning Bolt is the same type of song. But it's a poor mans Unthought Known

the final verse/outro 'crashing stormy waves...' is amazing
Always thought of Amongst The Waves as the glue that holds Backspacer together.

BS was something I jumped into, but it had no holding power. People are talking of albums and the test of time... this one fails it for me. I never play it and there are no songs from it on any of my PJ playlists.
Lightning Bolt is better to me, but if we're being honest... they are far cries from PJ's best pieces of work. Still respectable, but it's not even close.
