  • is the club making you guys take the breaks? I've been in bands where everyone wanted to take breaks and it always seemed to me like it was the best time for people to leave and not insult the band while they were on stage...we play like 3-4 hrs with no breaks(except the occasional piss break during a solo acoustic song or long guitar solo) as far as the setlist goes it looks good but imo lose the set breaks. peace

    thanks for the reply. no, we do not have to take any breaks. they are just to change tuning and for the small accoutic part. couple minutes tops. i will bring it up tonight when we practice. i was also thinking about adding some covers that PJ does like rockin in the free world, baba o'reilly, i believe in miracles. we only get between 2 and 2 1/2 hours.

    I say Nice set list but, as my friend said after Camden July 5. "Where is all the good stuff?" I thought about that remark for a while cause I loved the set list. Granted the next night was the infamous casey kasem encore of Porch, Jeremy, Small Town, Better Man, Daughter, Alive, Do The Evolution, Fuckin' Up, Rockin' In The Free World

    My friend and some people in general just aren't as into PJ as us hard core fans. Some people are more fans of the more popular stuff (ie TEN) and depending on the situation so depending on the crowd some of the more popular stuff might be a way to bring them into the performance a bit more.

    Then go for the cheap pop of " It's great to be here in _____"

    But that is just my two cents
    So many amazing shows! Thank you.

    we are playing amongst friends and friends of friends. whatever we play should go over fairly well. it just feels good to get back into playin out again.

    looks like a good list, i really like the untitled/mfc opening, ive ALWAYS thought PJ should do that, just seems awesome to me.

    possibly throw in some lost dogs, Sad, All Night, Undone, Fatal (would go nice in your acoustic set)

    otherwise it looks awesome, good luck
