    I got Oceans twice on the west coast in 2006. Still no Wash.

    Hopefully get Wash in LA or SD 09..... although I would gamble Oceans is a lock at one of those 5 shows.

    The Pacific Ocean has that effect on the boys.
  • Got Oceans in London, Ontario in 05'...was a nice treat!

    Yep, got it that night too. Was my 31st show and getting it in the middle of Canada was a nice surprise.

    That show is severely underrated on here:

    set: Oceans, Breakerfall, Corduroy, Hail Hail, Animal, Glorified G, Black Red Yellow, In My Tree, Better Man/(Modern Girl), You Are, Not For You, Jeremy, Wishlist, Even Flow, Bleed For Me, Rearviewmirror

    first encore: Nothing As It Seems, Off He Goes, Hard To Imagine, Alive

    second encore: Go, Grievance, Elderly Woman…, State of Love and Trust, Smile, Rockin’ in the Free World

    Plus the whole Let Stone sing chant ...

    Ed tries to start “Elderly Woman…” and is interrupted by a “Let Stone Sing!!” chant from the floor. Enough so that Ed walks to the front of the stage to listen, and Matt gets a beat going in time with the chant, then Ed doing the chant on the mic. Ed first says “NO! he will never sing … he shan’t never sing”, laughing and looking at Stone, who is pretending to be busy with his guitar. Ed says “you make it sound like someone is not letting Stone sing. Stone Gossard can sing any song, at any time, on any stage”. Then Stone walks to Ed’s mic and says “what I really want to do is dance”, which gets Ed and Matt starting an improv jam, with Jeff and Mike quickly joining in. The spotlight shines on Stone, and he starts dancing, goofing around shaking his ass – continuing it for a good amount of time! – the crowd loving it, the band cracking up.

    That was definitely one of the best shows ever; totally underrated.

    I'll be seeing ya in Philly (shows 2-4), along with P&E (she'll be at all 4). :) We're using my 10c number so maybe we'll be seated close by?

    Oceans, Of the Girl, Long Road... all great openers.

    Please play No Way somewhere along the line, too...

    Seriously?

    They do seem to play it more often in California. They just played it in San Diego in 2006! Also in 1995 and 1993. It would kill me if they pulled it out 1 show before Philly, unless of course they play every song from this tour over 4 nights in Philly.... then everyone wins!

    Hopefully they don't bust Oceans out in San Diego, 1 show before Philly! They heard it in 2006.

    Philly is next on the tour, and Oceans has not been played yet! They way they keep on playing new songs, I am really hoping the bust this song out!

    I personally hope this is the only other song they dust off for Philly. If they bring back something like "evacuation", that just fills a setlist spot for something they have already played like "No Way" that I am sure a lot of us want to hear! Plus since it is an opener, it won't impact the rest of the set, it will just be replacing another opener, or a non-opener like "last exit" that gets played first.

    Im still waiting to hear Off He Goes and Long Road after 10 shows...the its ok tag was on the setlist at East Rutherford 2 in '06 but it never got played....such a disappointment

    35 shows with no Oceans
    36 After Toronto
    40 if they don't play it in Philly

    Pennsylvania has been devoid of Oceans for 17 years. It is never played anywhere near PA.

    that still blows my mind that it hasnt been played there in 17 yrs...i wonder if the boys know that?
