If you could request one song for PJ to play this tour and they would play it, what would it be?

I’ve been listening to boots for decades, but the only show I’ve seen was 2016 in Lexington, KY. They must’ve been feeling it that night because they gave us hillbillies a 3 hour show. They played Education, which I was thrilled to get to hear. They also played 1/2 Full, Smile, and Leaving here. It was a great show. Seeing them again in Nashville this year.

Was there too, it was my wife's first PJ show. Biggest surprises for me that night (other than Education) were Satan's Bed and Sonic Reducer! Loved Army Reserve and Swallowed Whole, too...

It was a great show. Obviously, I don't have the personal experience to compare it to being at other PJ shows, but having wanted to see them for years, it still exceeded any expectations I had going in. I thought they'd play for a couple of hours and then get the heck out of Lexington. But they do seem to be one of those bands like the Grateful Dead who sometimes broke out a huge, inspired performance in small market, middle-America cities.

So I can't compare it to other PJ concert experiences, but that Lexington bootleg holds up very nicely with the others on my shelf. My wife was with me, too. She's not listened to every album or anything, but she really loved Backspacer (way more than I did, though I like it) and she was happy to hear Sirens. I was nervous for her after the Lightning Bolt opener, where they hit that stretch of MYM, Animal, Why Go, Deep, and Satan's Bed. I loved it all, but I was wondering how she was doing with the more intense stuff. But then they hit Elderly Woman, and she was loving it. It was a really great night.

That's awesome - was definitely a great show and my wife, who's more of the 90's pop music fan (New Kids on the Block are her Pearl Jam), absolutely loved the show. Eddie won a special place in her heart that night when he gave those tambourines to those two little boys during Yellow Ledbetter, LOL....
