Just a Girl at the Apollo / show #150

Happy eve of the tour!  At long last, this East Coast run is set to take place.  I know...another song request thread, and a ridiculous, near impossibility at that.  Afterall, it's only been 11,555 days since Just a Girl was last played, by Mookie Blaylock, and on the West Coast the 2 times it was played on record (thanks livefootsteps.org you're the best).  But hey, if they can bust out Evil Little Goat or Out of My Mind anything is possible, maybe?  

I am beyond lucky to have won tickets for show by hammering away at the phone lines for weeks back in February 2020 and that the show has been rescheduled (unfortunately I don't have an open +1).  I am so grateful for the chance to witness this belated Gigaton celebration at this tiny historic venue.  If they were ever to bring it back, I think that is the perfect night to start, with a large PJ-only live audience in person and on air, broadcast for all to hear.

Oh and if things go as planned with Toronto, Apollo will be show #150 for me, so thought I'd sneak that in.  What a ride it's been, I can't thank this band enough for all of the joy they have brought me, the friends I have made along the way, the places I have visited, all that jazz.  More self indulgent reflection to follow later.

Thanks for reading.

    This would be incredible! As it turns out, I believe that the Apollo has a fluorescent white ceiling. Cheers to (almost) #150 and many more! Hail, Hail the lucky ones.

    I fully support this request! I would love for them to bring this back after all these years! Apollo will be show 25 for me, so compared to you I’m clearly a total noob. Only 125 more to go to catch up to you!

    If only I could go back in time and campaign for my parents to take 14 year old me to Soldier Field instead of Scottie Pippen basketball camp in Central Arkansas

    Ok fine In My Tree can be a consolation. Happy early 60!

    Hopefully some of the faithful that camp out get let in, would be great to see.  I wasnt lucky enough to be in the building for the Beacon show, but we were able to attend the Fonda show in 06 in Hollywood by waiting around all day

    Such a cool song.  I always forget they closed the first show with it.

    Yep that was the last night at the Spectrum. I remember Eddie saying someone donated a ton of money to a good cause for them to play it. And then amazingly I saw it again about a decade later at Fenway. Great song!
