Encore idea

edited June 2008 in The Porch
i dont know if anyone has already suggested this in all the recent talk about potential setlists, but i think it would be awesome if they either ended the first encore with Yellow Ledbetter or started the second one with it...

it would totally freak everyone out and make them think the show is over, then they could continue playing and end the show with a rocker like alive or RITFW (preferably alive)

    The Rolling Stones did this in 1997 on the Bridges to Babylon tour but since we have a loyal following of people following shows at home this could work.

    They had a website and the day of the concert they would list 3 songs that they could possibly play in during a certain point of the set. And whichever song got had the most votes at that point in the concert was what they played.

    I think that could work with how crazy how fanbase is. ;)

    How about this for encore ideas. No more RITFW and absolutely no more YL with butchered half ass lyrics.

    than accept the fact that you will RITFW or YL every other night. They have become staples of PJ encores.

    When you see YL for the 18th straight show then you tell me if you want something else. Oh wait at your pace you'll never even see 18 shows.

    Wow, really? That's a bit childish, no? Why have such an elitist attitude over going to a show. Be happy for the shows that each person gets to see no matter what song is played and no matter if it's that person's 1st or 100th show. It's always a special show.

    Already seen more than 18 shows. I have probably seen YL more than 18 times. And yeah I would like to see something else but I know that is the most likely closer every night. But I still love it and look forward to seeing how the words are mixed up and what changes Mike adds to the end.

    And my signature says I am seeing 6 shows this tour, how would I not be on pace to hit 18, if I hadnt already?
