    The original lightning bolt logo will always be the best.

    Jack Irons seems confused and provides no spark whatsoever when he played live with PJ.

    Using any of the following phrases is really really lame:
    1. Uncle Neil (you aren’t in the band and he isn’t your uncle.)
    2. Jamily 
    3. It doesn’t get “Eddie Vedder” than this. (No, no and no.)
    May I add one...it's a Benaroya Hall  .... not a Benny!!!

    Love this ... first time i've read the entire contents of a thread this long in a very long time.

    - Off He Goes is twice as long as it needs to be ... people totally are tuned out by the time it's over when played live
    - I love unique covers ... Rebel Rebel and Taillights Fade were great this year and I'd much rather hear something like that than a mediocre cut from Binaural or Riot Act for the 4th time (hello Insignificance and I Am Mine)
    - Down sucks ... and Sirens is great
    - I am all for the band taking time to promote their causes even though i am indifferent to many of them

    They have to be, when your lead singer just drank 2 bottles of wine.

    I was at the Toledo '04 VFC show where Neil, Frampton, and the Lord knows who else showed up. I hated it from that point on.

    Stone is the best guitar player in the band. Not to mention the best songwriter.

    - Of The Earth is one of PJs best songsson
    - Can’t Deny Me is awesome live
    - I love the outdoor shows
    - Don’t like Jeremy or Dissident
    - Ole is an ok song. Can’t understand the way people trash it. 
    - I can’t stand Dave Matthews Bands music. Just terrible. 
    - I have always thought Dave A drumming was just ok 
    - I love when PJ do covers and don’t want less of them 
    - Binaural for me is one of PJs best albums. 
    I disagree only at DMB comment and about jeremy and dissident, i dont like wishlist and just breathe live

    1) Leatherman is a real gem.
    2) PJ's Pentalogy (Leatherman / Better Man / Nothingman / Dead Man / Man of the Hour) can make any single concert a truly unique experience.
    3) I really want to hear Leatherman II.

    -- I, too, prefer outdoor shows.
    -- Of the Earth is a decent song, but easily the most overrated and overhyped of the band's catalog.
    -- Other songs I don't quite understand all the love for - Black, Marker in the Sand, The End
    -- I wish Yellow Ledbetter would be retired forever
    -- Songs most hate/don't care for but I enjoy - The Fixer, Ole, My Father's Son, Just Breathe, Sleeping By Myself, Can't Deny Me
    -- Dave A isn't as relevant as people think
    -- Backspacer and Lightning Bolt are underappreciated
    -- Covers are awesome
    -- Nirvana (aside from Nevermind), Soundgarden (aside from Superunknown), Mudhoney, & Sleater-Kinney make hardly any music I want to listen to
    I'll also add:
    -- Nine Inch Nails original version of Hurt is 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999x better than Johnny Cash's cover!
    Saw Trent play Hurt last month in PHX. Amazing song, but you have way too many 9s. It may be better period. But as a non Cash person, when Trent ended the show with this song, I instantly thought Cash (and the show was better than a lot of PJ shows I’ve been to)

    - I think it's weird Eddie doing some songs entirely solo at PJ gigs - like he's Neil Young or something.... why not have the full band on the songs. Is it they who need a longer break?!

    Too many covers? London bootleg arrived today, 3 covers in a 3 hour set, 30+ songs. I am more than happy with that ratio. Being a metal head, I have seen bands like Marilyn Manson play a 45 minute set at festivals and still put 2 or 3 covers in. Now thats inexcusable.
