    Chasing songs is fun, but if you find yourself bored because you've heard what they are playing too often...that's a you problem. It isn't that they play any song too much. It's that you have been to too many shows.

    My perfect 24 song setlist would probably make everybody happy. B-sides (sad, hard to imagine, footsteps,) Hits / Singles (DTE, Black, Jeremy, I got Shit, Nothingman, Go, Once, Small Town, Hail Hail, I am Mine) Deep Cuts (In my tree, Oceans, Last Exit, Faithfull, Getaway, Can't keep, Long Road, Present Tense) and rarities (tremor christ, alone, dissident (apparently haha)). So all categories would be included!

    I know i know -  they're probably not playing a few of these, but a guy can dream :)

    (2000) Mansfield I, Mansfield II (2003) Montreal (2005) Montreal, Ottawa (2006) Albany (2008) Montreal I + II (EV) (2022) Québec City

    I am not chasing any rarities or looking to complete any albums.  I just wish they would play less Ten and more from the other records. Like Rival.  Play Rival you pussies LOL.
    Yes. Unknown Thought into RIVAL. Do it. 
    The lyrical flow works 
    Whatever...

    Not a big hits dude. Saw Ten show and woah. Drop dead awesome! Just getting those songs early in set. Damn sweet.

    TBH, it was kind of nice to get Evenflow & Alive out of the way early. 

    It was also cool hearing Release well into the show as opposed to the opener.

    I want to start by saying I love PJ and their shows. I seen PJ twice in my life and it was back to back shows at Fenway. I am going to the Vegas show on 5/20/2022. Although the shows are great and sound great I was disappointed after the first Fenway show. i was disappointed because I didnt hear all of their hits. I had to go to the second show to hear the hits they did not play in the first. Lets face we go to hear the hits as well as other songs. We pay a lot of $$$$ for their shows, more than most artists and to not hear all their hits at each show is just robbery! Some of us dont have the $$$ to go to back to back shows. Also you they tour so infrequently that you could go to many shows and still not hear the hits! My friend is going to the Vegas show with me and she has never seen PJ and I know she will be disappointed when they don't play all of their hits.I am begging you PJ to play all the hits that every fan wants to hear, please!!! I love your music!!
    The hit I want to hear is Undone!  And I would love to complete a few more albums with Big Wave, God's Dice, Getaway & My Father's Son! 

    Since Vegas is the last show on the first leg, I'd say there's more of a chance to get something on the rare side as opposed to radio "hits". But, ultimately, that's up to Ed and the rest of the band.
    We are one week shy of 12 years since Undone was last played. 
    They are welcome to play it in Vegas next Friday!

    I applaud the op. I think they knew what they were doing when they posted this. If they had posted this ten years ago, we would be on page 50 by now.

    My fault for not being more clear.

    Are these all the "Hits"?:
    evenflow
    alive
    black
    jeremy
    daughter
    elderly
    betterman
    corduroy
    given to fly
    dte
    last kiss

    I guess next tier "hits" would be:
    porch
    release
    go
    animal
    rvm
    immortality
    present tense
    in hiding

    Nothing after 1999 correct?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    This reminds me of the night Let's Play Two debuted in theatres. I saw it at a Drive-In in Mendon, MA. They billed it as Pearl Jam Night complete with a cover band before the movie. Lots of New England 10c people there. Good times, and the band was OK from what I remember. What stands out though was the singer stopping between songs to tell a story or talk to the audience, and then before the next song saying something like, "This is Jeremy" or "This is Porch." 

    Yeah, dude. We know. 
    I was there too! Don’t really remember the band that much. What I do remember is my wife’s Ford Escape accessories timing out every 15 mins to conserve the battery. Having to press the start button and the headlights coming on. Was super pissed as I imagine all the people in front of us were as well. 😂

    If by hits you mean play YIELD in its entirety every show, I agree.
