I just don't think Amsterdam 2 qualifies as the most mindbending, amazing, incredible setlist of all time. Just one fan's opinion.

You just forget one tiny little thing which made this concert so fuckin' special outside the numbers being played or the quality they had.....

The setlist was written by a fan.

Did you ever experience a concert which has been written by a chosen member of an immense fanbase?
It could have been you who was standing at the side of the stage

Because of that, you can still dream and write down your own dreamsetlist because one day, maybe, they choose you for that amazing chance of writing down your favo setlist for them to play at a concert filled with 17.000 crazy fans.

It maybe wasn't the best setlist ever in order of strange or rarely played songs which been played but just the fact Brian F. wrote this setlist makes it, for me, the very best setlist ever to experience and be part of as a member of cheering crowd. 8-)
And the band played at their best because of that little fact, we could feel it, we could taste it, we experienced it.

I can't wait for the bootleg and for the documentary that will follow about Brian F.

No one screamed louder than my wife and I when I heard the opening chords of Baba O'Riley. I know its not a PJ original...but I've always loved that song and even more so, loved PJ's cover of it. I had seen PJ 11 previous times and always missed it...so to finally get it...agh...fucking incredible.

"Let's get together / before we get much older!"

And also...yes...Release at the first encore was unreal...

Although I have less concerts to compare to, Amsterdam 2 has been the best for me as well.

I've been with the band since the mid-1990s and completely understand why they would play at least some famous songs every time. Have you ever heard of a band whose setlists for the majory consist of their least known songs? PJ are now well known for their set list changes and I also took it for granted, but now realize more and more that some big bands play the same night after night. It's like seeing a move time after time, although you like it very much. It will become more boring every time.

And there's nothing wrong with 17,000 people singing "Why Go Home?", "Whoaaaa I'm still Alive" or "Saaaaaw things so much clearer...".

That is hysterical! I am sure you will be able to get one on the 10C sale. Those things were ugly. I am guessing that there will not be a high demand for them from people who were not at the show.
