I can’t wait for this boot!! What an incredible show! Getaway should get played way more. Missing was, personally, a really special moment. Not many people there seemed to know it, but that will change. And such a great performance.
I’m a big fan of the Clash, but honestly, after hearing it on many boots before, I never really cared to hear Know Your Rights at a show. Not my favorite song of theirs even tho PJ does it justice. Wow! I was really wrong. Good example of how different a song can be in a certain context - especially when you’re at a show and it’s played at that perfect moment! Ed was seriously channeling Joe Strummer. I could feel the vinegar in his veins from where I stood.
I cant believe we’re at a point where we are tributing Strummer, Petty, Bowie and Cornell. But it sure meant a lot to me to be there for those songs. For someone I never met, I still think of Chris often. I’m grateful that this band knows it’s fans well enough to know that we’re missing him along with them. And that a PJ show might actually be one of the few places where the rest of us can share in that grieving and let it be about healing and celebrating these artists that have meant so much to us all. It doesn’t compare to their own loss, having been so close with many of these guys, but I hope they know that these moments have a lot of meaning for many of us. Hearing Chris’ songs played before they took the stage, seeing Nudedragons and the Cornell Starbucks shirt in the audience, and especially having them play one of his songs... Chris’ presence was everywhere that night. I hope Matt, Jeff, Stone, Ed and Mike were at least a little bit healed and uplifted by that, as I was.
After the show we met two gentlemen who got this setlist from the soundboard. They let us get a photo with it. I’m curious if they’re in here somewhere? I’d love so much to have a scanned copy of this to print and frame. This show impacted my entire family on so many levels, just to have a good scanned copy of this (or a similar one with edits) would mean so much. Thanks to all and much love from my family to yours.
I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love.
i just love this song. The Poncier version suffers only from being unfinished, but it is so great. The Temple version was amazing. And the PJ version is just fire! So thankful they've given this song new life!

In my opinion, this was the better of the 2 Chicago shows. I'm trying to imagine if Leash, Evil Little Goat, Baba, Indifference, and Watchtower had remained on the setlist... That would have been a wild second encore.
Ah Watchtower. Only Little Wing is more sought after at this point.
