    I'm still not sure if we were in Wisconsin or Michigan(as the hoodie said), but either way... it was in America. :lol:

    A second awesome show! So many of us wish we could have been there!

    and a lot more of us are glad we saved our money. what the hell happened out there? Was I expecting too much?

    It was, by far, the greatest musical experience of my life. That's what happened. Maybe you just had to be there. It was like the biggest fan club only show ever.

    I said it after Night 1, and I'll reiterate it after Night 2, if you somehow went to PJ20 and left unfulfilled, it's just time to quit listening to live music. Nothing will ever be good enough for you.

    And if you can't at least enjoy your favorite band looking so fucking happy, you're probably just a miserable prick who hates his life.

    If you're just following setlists, looking at the names of songs on a computer screen, you have no idea what went down here this weekend. None. And, I guess, we can't explain it to you. But you missed out.[/quote]

    Pretty angry for someone who just saw a great show. Tonight was amazing - can't we just keep that vibe alive.

    Another good night, but standing at the lawn so far from the stage sucked. Alpine Valley-type arenas are not for me, I guess.

    Best songs for me were daughter and spin the black cirkle (was really needed after a period of more mundane songs)

    Oh, and star spangled banner is a crappy way to end YB. Especially at such an international event.

    But overall PJ20 was a great weekend :-)

    umm, Jimi Hendrix, familiar with him in Norway?

    22nd show tonight...

    1) a magical weekend. 2 different shows, but the fact is, nonone should or could complain. Especially after tonight.

    2) 20 years means they can play or do what they want, in my opinion. This weekend was as much for them as for us. No beef with anything from
    The weekend.

    3) show highlights: no way, habit (not a huge fan of the song, but Liam turned it up a notch or 6) new world (for my wife), smile with hansard was great, satan's bed was Ed at his best and STBC was awesome.

    Couldn't ask for a better birthday weekend. Love to my family and friends for making it all happen.

    See you all soon!

    Actually, I was hoping you could explain it to me. If you were there, take me through why it was so good.

    Maybe it was the communal energy of the whole place ... especially in the pavilion. Every crowd participation moment was amplified tenfold. The energy was unbelievable, on stage and off.

    Mike running laps behind the drum riser during Spin the Black. Ed and Jeff coordinating leaps during various songs. Stone refusing to play No Way, before finally being goaded into it by the fans. Ed's improv song, which was basically about the band lasting for so long ("I'm so glad we made it, to the part where things got good.") Chris Cornell knocking the TOD stuff out of the fucking park. Matt fucking Cameron. The tailgating in the parking lot where, amid the beer and brats, you heard Ed's voice emanating from every single car stereo system. The hug exchanged between Jeff and Ed behind the riser after the show that kind of brought a tear to my eye.

    There really was a true anniversary vibe running through the whole affair. From the choice of songs, to the special guests, to the remarks Ed made ...it really was a celebration of how lucky we are that the band we all love, the band that's gotten us all through so much shit, the band that's been there for the down times, and the deaths in the family, and the breakups and the marriages and the births of our children, the band that always seems to be there when we need them, that in many ways has been the most stable relationship in our lives ... that band is still around, even after all these years.

    It doesn't happen to every band. We are damn lucky it happened to ours. Every second of this weekend underscored that fact to me.

    That's why you had to be there. And why some standard show in Saskatoon, while sure to be awesome, just won't be the same.

    I know you guys don't want to hear it, but if you weren't here this weekend, you missed out on a special experience that won't be repeated. Not until PJ40, at least.

    Yes, we are. Still a crappy ending to an otherwise perfect song.

    Mike's been playing it that way for years in homage to Jimi. Just go with it. I'm sure he would have added your national anthem, as well as the anthem of every other nationality represented at PJ20, but they had already long since blown by curfew.

    Would have preferred no national anthem no matter what country I was in, but I didn't think about the homage part :-)
