    I have a buddy that serves beers at Fenway and he said Neil Diamond played Sweet Caroline like 12 times during his show at Fenway a few years back. He also said he sold more wine coolers that night than any night in the last 8 years. :lol:

    One of the coolest bootlegs ever. Period.

    Kudos to Neil for jumping in front of a bus like that, but if I was there...I'd understand. Maybe that's just cause I'm a huge Neil Young fan??

    My old boss told me that he saw Survivor open up for someone back in '83 or something and that they actually played "Eye of the Tiger" twice to open and close the set. I mean full-on, the EXACT same version. :lol:

    Every time I think of that premise it cracks me up.

    I saw the Killers at Red Rocks... When they came out for the encore, Brandon Flowers said something about "doing something that will blow our minds," and then they proceeded to play 30 seconds of a song they already played. Then they left the stage for good. I don't know what the hell that was about, but it would have been better had they not come out for an "encore" at all. The show was pretty awesome (I realize I'll get some flack on this board for saying that, but I digress) and then to have them pull some lame-ass move like that kinda took away from the rest of the show.

    I read somewhere that a looong time ago some people would just leave after hearing Radiohead play Creep. So, what Radiohead would do is play it as soon as they came on and then again at the very end as a bonus to the people that stayed.

    My buddy's band opened up for Tommy Tutone in Philly before. They opened up and ended with 867-5309(Jenny) - Tommy Tutone that is.

    just last month i saw wilco in philly. they played outtasite (outta mind) and outta mind (outtasite), which are both the same song with a different arrangement. both of these songs, or this song, are (is) actually on the same album as well. (although it is a double album)......anyway, it was awesome, and i wouldn't have cared if they played it four times.

    I think if its different versions (i.e Neil Young RIFTW from the album) then its cool.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Queen used to do that too, if the publish wanted it to hear a song again they would played it again.

    I just remembered, years ago I saw a guy called Pete Murray (Aussies and maybe some Brits would know him) anyway, he was kind of big here for a while, and he played the same song twice in the one concert, once acoustic, the other with his band.

    Just me or kind of weird?


    I think that's pretty cool actually. especially if you're a virgin to the song, want to hear it again, and then luckily get to hear it again later in the concert :D how awesome would that be.

    U2 - played "If I don't go crazy..." different versions in the same set a few times this past 360 tour
    I'm trying to remeer a neil young show I've seen...He usually plays an acoustic then plugs in. I believe Hey Hey my my was actually recorded and shot in the move rust never sleeps as both acoustic and electric.

    So I went to the Gorillaz show last night with some friends. My one friend who saw them when they first toured in the US in 2002 for their first album said they played Clint Eastwood twice and 5/4 also twice!

    I saw willie nelson once play the same song twice in a row. Mofo was stoned as hell. Great set tho.
    I’ve seen Pearl Jam 25 times, Eddie Vedder 9 times, and Brad once.

    Remember Whitesnake playing "Here I Go Again" twice in the same show back in the day.....kind of knew then they wouldn't make it as headliners when they didn't have enough material to fill the set (or keep people interested).... :shock: :? :?:
