Want do you think is the best and worst decision the band has made over their career?

Boom & arms aloft at alpine

arms aloft was the weirdest choice ever made especially for that weekend 

Ed’s connection to Joe Strummer as part of the history perhaps he was nodding to during PJ20 doesn’t make it so strange. 

It was an epic setlist fail by Ed to play that as the second song. I hear what you’re saying about Strummer and I like the cover myself. But as the second song on that night? The place was ready to explode after Release. Had they played Animal or something in that vein, the roof may have blown off the amphitheater. Hmm…actually, maybe that’s why Ed went with a song that would get absolutely no reaction whatsoever. For safety purposes. 

And why has this never been released? It was such a fun weekend. No official audio (though I do have some soundboards from the shows that leaked) or official video? That could go on the list of bad decisions.

Never understood the hate.  An energetic rock song is the second song played at PJ20 and the crowd becomes dead?  That’s on the crowd.  It was already a well known PJ cover at that point
