    That Of the Earth is fantastic. HTI is a great version as well but OTE imo steals the show on this one. Loved hearing at Wrigley 2. I did not expect to hear that,

    Huge support of this thread for 2 reasons: 1) HTI is one of my all time faves (have been fortunate enough to see it a number of times); and more importantly, 2) I have a similar background to the original poster.  My wife and I just celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary, we have 3 kids and have been together since 1995.  We've been to 12 shows together (and obviously both love HTI as it's really a perfect tune).  I often say to her, "it's Hard to Imagine a better life" - a little corny, but truer words can't be spoken.  The twist for us (sort of the opposite of the OP) is that we went to London together (long story there, but she didn't get to see them) and I'm doing Chicago 2 solo.  It's all good though as we will be at Fenway 1 together (I'm staying or Fenway 2), so hell, PJ - why not just play HTI at Wrigley 2 and Fenway 1??  And if you don't play it, guess what - I'm still going to love every second because as I always say, every show is a GIFT!

    Thanks for sharing that. You are right about saying it's hard to imagine a better life. I have been with my wife since grade 12. 20 years together and how lucky am I to share it with someone that has such a passion for the same band as I do. To be able to share the reactions we have when certain songs are played and to enjoy the hype and build up of a show together and then the immediate high after is something else. When they played Crown of Thorns in Seattle it was our first time hearing it. My wife started jumping around excited like a kid during Christmas. People around us gave her high fives and cheers cause others understand what certain songs mean and what they can do for some people. Hard to Imagine is one of those songs. I really hope they play it in Chicago night 2 but if they play it night 1 or at another show we are not at sure we will be a bit bummed but also glad that such a great song gets on the set again.

    Fucking thunder has me nervous man. Wish I had a more positive outlook on things like my wife. I told her about the weather forecast and she just looked at me calmly and said it will change. Will it though I said WILL IT? She just shook her head at me lol.
