nothing can live up to Amsterdam 2, but that set is okay. Amsterdam is the best 2 nights I've seen in a while...if they could have got in Breath and In My Tree, it'd be top 3 for me regarding Am 2.

I know! How cool is it? That's what I've been doing all week. It's making me pretty bloody excited about getting on a plane tonight and heading to Prague!! Woohoo!!

BeerBaron · June 2012

Pretty bland set list. Not even one nugget for the die hards. Push Me Pull Me was scratched off and replaced with Comatose. Kick Out the Jams was also crossed off.

TBibby · June 2012

Ho-Ly Shit.

just got home from Werchter, I finally got to hear Black Circle and Daughter live!!!!!!!

It wasn't Amsterdam 1 for me, but hell yeah, to took me by the collar and rocked my fffffffff ass off!!!!!

really great set list, and imho, best PJ appearance ever (what i ever been to!) they were ffffff tight!

PJ, definitely best band around, still after 20 years!!!!

pumpkinhead · June 2012

AH...IF only I had my video camera rolling when Eddie raised his arms during Alive....dam his bisceps have gotten huge...must be from all the physical therapy...Eddie seems to be doing much much more jumping on this tour....AH I love the jumping....
Got to the venue at 1pm and the rail was already full of PJ fans....ah but one soul left and I was able to get first at the rail in front of Eddie.....the crowd was awesome..one of the best...ah but nothing can beat Amsterdam...
One father and kid elected to get pulled out of the crowd near the end of the show...and when Eddie saw them heading out he motioned to his crew and the father and son were brought on stage....the father was beside himself....

StefVG · June 2012

Back home from the festival.
By far the best gig of the 3 they played in Werchter topped with a brilliant encore (Alive & RITFW were outstanding).
Next station : Berlin!

not bad for a festival showing, but could have been better IMO.

dwhite76 · June 2012

NICE, Must of gotten off to one hell of a start opening with DTE

he set list did seem a little generic. Not a WOW set list but I would see a thousand of these shows just to see them live

Funny that they had Just Breathe in between Daughter and Why Go. I dont recall this song not being as the beginning of a Encore played with The End or a song similar.

Just glad to hear every one had a great time. Cant wait for our turn

Even the fact that --->EVEN FLOW<--- was NOT Played?...That completely "Voids" that Show for being in the TOP 50 for me!...haha...

*Manchester 2* IMO is the Best Setlist so far!...

I couldn't agree more, best of the 3. Encore was brilliant.
Personally, glad to hear Spin The Black Circle and Daughter live, finally.
Btw, nice poster.
Getting ready for Arras tonight!!!

Indifference10 · June 2012

Good show! Great singing in the crowd too. Knew in advance it couldn't possibly top Amsterdam 2, but it was nice in another way: had the best view ever and met several fellow fans!
Took a picture of the poster, will try to post it here!

rafie · June 2012

I see that no one mentioned it, during RITFW, Mike and Jeff traded instruments. VERY wierd seeing Mike with a pink base

Stone and Jeff traded instruments at Amsterdam 1 as well, during Smile. Jeff even did some nice soloing :-)

scousesubmariner · June 2012

The last time i heard Interstella Overdrive done live was by Tribe after Tribe opening for Pearl Jam in 93 at Brixton Academy, so i'm gutted to see that they have done it twice on this tour only not at the 2 Manchester shows I've been to.

OffSheGoes76 · June 2012

I was so looking forward to seeing pj again at werchter. And I got so excited seeing what great setlists they played the past week. I expected a killer setlist. And what did I get: the "crowd-pleasers". It was a greatest hits show. I was so disappointed. And where was the encore 2? Eds voice sounded really tired too. It could have been better. It wasn't bad. Maybe my hopes were up too high. I wish I had gone to see them in Amsterdam. I hope they skip the next time in werchter. I hope instead they do a full show again. And if they do werchter again, I will be there again ... off course ...

They always do for Smile

Stoffel79 · July 2012

i really loved the show, might have been some kinda of a best of setlist for most. but that doesn't mean it wasn't a great show. given the fact this was only my second PJ show, it was pretty spectacular, secured a good spot near the front early on. and had a great time, and so did alot of the people around me it seemed. lots of clapping and signing along. was funny to hear eddie trying to read some dutch words that were scribbled on a piece of paper after the first song. lot of energy from the stage, they were really into it, caught them smiling to each other more then once (http://universaltrendsetter.tumblr.com/ ... -june-2012).

really hope they come back to do a regular show, instead of the festivals. its good to see this band still got it after so many years!

Nice! Thank you! I couldn't see a thing. Too small I guess.

Not much info to add, but just that it was a great show.

The setlist wasn't suprising, but damn they were on fire. Good crowd too!
