    How was Setting Forth predictable (it's been played by the band exactly twice now in their entire history, this show being the 2nd)? Or even having that song flow into Corduroy (regardless of whether Corduroy is or isn't predicatable) THat seems new and exciting.

    Or how was Glorified G followed by 1/2 full predictable?

    Or the entire first enore, that seemed like a great and rare first encore?

    I've been to about the same number of shows as you and probably just as big a fan, not sure how you can call this stuff typical or predictable. I seriously don't get it?


    1- Setting Forth wasn't predictable, it was request by Matt Cameron to put that one on the setlist before the show started mentionned By Ed before the song began.
    2- Boston 2 2008 as reference because i was there probably..
    3- Down (Mtl 2003, 2005 and 2011 !? not my favorite though), Black , Porch, Yellow ledbetter (2000, 2005, 2011) for the closer...that why it is predictable...but it is not bad, it is not the case, i expected the unexpected ...i will get it maybe in Toronto or Ottawa ! Who knows?[/quote]

    So Setting forth was a surprise then...... as opposed to "no surprises"

    So you found 1 show out of 700 where Glorified G and 1/2Fulll were played back to back (or let alone even pllayed) and then you found a few other shows where a song was played. Agree to disagree I guess, I know you aren't saying they sucked but you and I have very different versions of the word "predictable" as I've never seen the combos you saw nor have I seen a bunch of those songs live. Again this is the reason the band does repeat some stuff though because there are tens of thousands of us that haven't seen it before.... Just sayin....

    BTW, Why would you put yourself through the pain of a show if it's that bad? Is it really worth the pain and discomfort? Why not get a seat in the  handicapped section? It sounds as if your ailment might justify this....no?

    When you live with this kind of stuff day to day, it just becomes part of everyday life and you just go on living. Luckily I can still do everything I always have, even if I don't feel great most of the time. I love music and will attend shows until my final days. Most of the time you'll find me jumping about and singing my heart out, like all the other fans. Body be damned ... it's not going to stop me from living :D

    What got me upset about your original post what the 'but they don't look sick' type of attitude. Most people automatically think that someone needs to look sick for something to be wrong, but it's really not the case.

    Not a single mention. He said several times that Montreal was the start of the tour, which I guess is technically true, but it was a little strange. I figured he would make a reference or two.

    Living is the only way to go man. I suffer from a rare stomach disease called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) that has kept me from shows in the past and have actually had to leave 2 of my 30 PJ shows due to my illness.

    I'm very sorry that my original post came across as it did....because like you, I appear to be healthy, but have had my ass kicked by this disease for the past 13 years.

    Again, sorry for any inconsiderate comments I may have made....KEEP ROCKIN!!! :D

    Took my wife to her first PJ show last night and when it was over she was slack-jawed and hard of hearing, saying "thank you for convincing me to come to this show!" :D

    We had a great time.

    Hearing Come Back was huge for both of us and completely unexpected. The raw energy of the crowd matched MSG1 from last year and Eddie clearly fed off of the responsiveness, leading the masses into several sing-alongs.

    This was a really special treat for both of us due to the doldrums of the post-Irene flood that wiped out our whole basement here in upstate NY. New breakers, hot water heater, furnace, etc... so a much-needed uplifting getaway.

    Thanks PJ and thanks to the great fans and city that made us feel so comfortable and welcome. Angelos on Crescent ST. and Novotel -- awesome!!!

    I was sad to see almost no love for Mudhoney from the Ten Club crowd. I think I was the only one standing up (13th row) with a guy in front of me (11th row I think) and 2 guys in front of the stage! Am I the only one who knows the lyrics??? You guys never listened to Mudhoney back then?

    I hope those guys will get greater reaction from the crowd for the shows to come.

    Being from Montreal (but living in the Ottawa region), it was awesome to be there; I saw them in Montreal since my first show, 1998 at the (then) Molson Centre. Always loved watching shows in Montreal (PJ, Radiohead, any punk show from NOFX to Bad Religion) and the crowd is always present.

    I have to admit that the setlist wasn't what I was looking for; it seems that Black, Alive and Crazy Mary are always played in Montreal lately. I was expecting something like Tremor Christ, Rats or Garden for the 20th anniversary tour.

    Eddie's humor was at its best. The guys looked really happy to be there and they were in their element. Playing 27 songs...!!! Wow!!! Better than the Black Keys a month ago when they played for an hour, 15 minutes...!

    Anyway, hearing Glorified G, Setting Forth (!) and a great performance of Hail, Hail was amazing! Looking forward to Toronto (both nights) and Ottawa.

    It wasn't really that bad....like you said, I've seen better.

    But I didn't buy a poster for the first time last night...was it a Monk One?

    Peacock design with lots of bright colors...purples, oranges, pinks, greens...just didn't do it for me :(

    sigh... wish I could go along with everyone who loved the show. I really wished they played more obscure/random setlist, just let it flow. Their setlist has been the same for 10 years. I know they will play evenflow, alive, betterman, yellowledbetter or rocking to top it off. A soft song to start. Just wish they would change it up a little. Don't get me wrong. LOVE..The Music. but when we can call out every song most of the time... Losing the spark. Miss the spontaneity. Play music guys. You don't need to play to new fans anymore. Just play!!! Sorry about the rant everyone. (just trying to blow off steam).
    Dude... have you even payed attention to their setlists from the past 10 years?
