Brilliant show. The only minor (!) complaint: I would have traded "Hungerstrike" and "Reach Down" for "All those Yesterdays" and "Crown of Thornes", after they were skipped yesterday. Playing Hungerstrike two shows in a row ... Don't know. Seems to take the mythic aura a bit away from it. But anyways: Great show, good setlist and a lot of fun.

Me too... anyone know what got skipped from the setlist tonight? I know they skipped at least one...

My highlights were Wash, Love Boat Captain, Habit (awesome seeing him play with Liam on Habit both in Liam's set an PJ's), Pilate, All Night, Nothingman.

Very nice weekend - good mix of rare and greatest hits and the ToTD reunion was awesome even if today's was a bit of a repeat in the encore.

Real Me and Crown Of Thorns got skipped from 2nd encore

That was my favorite PJ concert ever by far. The mood was incredible. I really didn't care at all what they played. Each song was performed so well and with so much energy. It's so great to see that many people focused on the same thing, singing the same lines, pointing to the sky at the same times, etc. It's a beautiful thing! What a great band, and what great fans. We seem to have lucked out in getting hooked on PJ. Other band-fan relations just don't seem to compare. Something about PJ's music got us hooked in a way that I think is unique. The connection is very deep. This concert, more than any other I've attended, really highlighted the amazing relationship between the band and its fans. I'm so proud of both.

Spot on

Whole festival was amazing. A little disappointed with Liam Finns band - he was a world better when it was just him + EJ on the aussie tour. People complaining about the setlist need to look outside the box - there is more to a show than just what is written down. I was amazed by the 'party' feel to every set. Jeff rocking up to play bass with joe arthur and then mike/matt joining in. Liam starting the set today with habit with eddie (was unreal to watch, eddie was playing some drums and they were swapping instruments a lot as Liam set up the loops). He played the intro to Habit yesterday alone and finished it today, guess he was practicing! This would probably be one of the biggest highlights of the show for me beside the temple of the dog / mother love bone stuff. Seeing the strokes and qotsa getting each other on stage - you could see the PJ love being spread around. QOTSA put on an awesome set today too.

And of course the PJ sets. Cornell was amazing. Speachless. I could watch him play those temple of the dog songs all day. I don't care if a couple were played both nights, you'll most likely NEVER see them play together like that again. Cornell was saying it had been 20 years or so since they last played TOTD songs. And of course all the banter and talk was great. Everyone was so happy. Stone grabbing Jeffs boobs lol!

The only fuck up was running out of time on night 1. Would have loved to see a full 2nd encore. Apart from that I cannot complain, loved every minute of it. I have spent a small fortune coming over from Australia for this concert and I would do it all again in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity. Haters can hate - don't come next time so I get 1 seat closer

these setlists make it a lot easier to swallow that I was unable to attend.
now i can sleep easy.

people can go on and on about the (energy) but for the hyped 20 anniversary. these are very weak setlists.
14 or so cover songs over 2 nights, give me a break.

This poster who talks about swallowing and sleeping easy is an insult to any simpsons character. Im convinced its adam levine or paula abdul.

People calling these shows "epic" "perfect" and the "greatest musical experience of my life" give me a break. If you have seen this band 10 times I guarantee 8 of those ten shows were better than these last 2.

I have, and they weren't.

So they weren't epic and perfect?

This is to all those pissing and moaning about...blah blah setlist on night one wasn't as good as..blah blah..not worth the money..blah blah...YOU chose to go and this amazing band chose to put this show on for YOU. If you are going cry about oh I wish they played a bit more of Binaural or 'gee i wish they hadn't played Hunger Strike twice...SUCK IT UP.

I am in Australia and an happy to watch dodgy youtube clips and look forward to the screening of the doco.

LOVE IT.

So agree with you. Being able to see some of the songs on t'internet yesterday morning made my weekend. Its sad that after such an event for the band and fans that so called fans on here can only moan cos Corduroy didn't get played and TOTD played a few songs. I do wonder why some people are part of this fanclub why they only have negative views about the band.

ENCORE BREAK 1
19. Eddie improv/new song (performed solo by Ed on acoustic guitar)

What was the new song like? Any videos?

I agree 100% with this post....band and fans became one tonight!

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]
