    The show went a lot longer than the air time, so plenty will be cut out. VH1 won't go within a mile of Here's to the State. They can cut plenty and have very "tv-worthy"/mass appeal stuff with the comments on Betterman and Alive which were personal rather than political.

    I was there. It was awesome. A little on the warm side, but I'm over that. Alive was the highlight, I agree. From the story to the actual performance. I've seen it plenty in concert, but it was still good complete with Mike behind his head solo. Insignificance was great if only to see them going nuts ten feet away. Here's to the State of George W was a real treat especially since VH1 won't go anywhere near that so most people will not see it. My buddy and I both got our questions asked. His was the one about fans with conflicting politics to which Ed said, "Fuck 'em." Classic.

    Yeah, I was just thinkingthe same thing, given that it was "Storytellers" and all. Out of their entire catalog, they put in Insignificance? Don't get me wrong, it's a good song, but there are a LOT of other songs that a storyteller worthy.

    I would have figured the set would have been 100% accoustic, with songs like Garden, Black, Given to Fly, Off He Goes, Footsteps, and other songs like that.

    Kind of surprised they played the rockers and a good number of new songs.

    pss. THANKS TO BRETT FOR HOOKING ME UP WITH A FREE TICKET! I OWE YOU![/quote"]

    So YOU'RE the one Brett took over me. He told me he was going to bring me, but when he got a better offer from you he changed his mind and brought you instead. Ouch!
    No hard feelings to you. I'm glad you had a great time.
    I'll be thoroughly enjoying my 1st or 2nd row seats at tonights show WITHOUT Brett!

    Insignificance sucks, aside from that, it's a cool group of songs...

    I've seen past storytellers shows, I don't recall any just being acoustic...
    I don't blame them for playing new stuff, gotta get it out there...plus, PJ is a rock band, if anything, the biggest criticism they have received the last few albums is that they'd gone soft...they need to get the message out that they still play the hard stuff.

    It's hard to describe, but the set worked well with the stories in a way that can't be seen just from reading the setlist. There were some themes for the night and some songs that got picked because they had particularly good stories (Betterman, Alive). Insignificance worked well because there was no story. They just introduced it as a hometown Seattle song and went nuts.
