Why Go great sing along, the crowd loved it

All Night "the 3 singers, I knew they'd play that again"

Corduroy a crowd favorite, and played most shows

Given To Fly one of 2 repeats that surprised me they woudl repeat

Who You Are the 3 singers, I knew they'd play that again"

Evenflow Played almost every show

Do The Evolution also played every show

WMA the 3 singers, I knew they'd play that again

No More Not a crowd favorite, but it obviously means something to Eddie, especially with the inspiration for the song not doing very well. I think this sing along probably meant more to him than any other

I Believe In Miracles they wanted to bring up CJ Ramone for both nights/crowds

Alive this one surprised me, but very pleasantly. I really didn't expect them to play it again, but I did tell my wife, who wasnt at night 1, to be ready for the "YEAH!" part just in case

Thoughts?

see notes after song title

Don't want to hear the same songs 2 nights in a row? Don't go to see the same band 2 nights in a row. Problem solved. You're welcome.

This guy is a genius.

Listen, every time I hear the opening chord of Corduroy I am the happiest camper. They could play this new W.M.A, Who You Are, Sad, Given to Fly etc. at every single show and I would be happy. Bottom line is, if you love a song you don't mind repeats. If it gets too much perhaps you have gone to too many shows.

Unless it's about boasting on a message board about how many different songs you have heard at shows, but I am kind of glad the band does not cater to that.

I've only been to the 2 MSG shows this tour. Were those 3 "guest" singers on All Night, Who You Are, and WMA at any other shows ??

Not bad songs to repeat, but they really gotta get rid of Corduroy and Given To Fly. I hear those songs at every show, and to be honest they don't do much for me at all.

I remember Boston 04'. Both nights and only 3 repeats (and can't go wrong with hearing Save You, Evolution and Amercian in Me at each show). Now that was mint. Hopefully Boston gets the same treatment in 08' : )

Not having been to the MSG shows but heard they were Video taping them I would think the repeat number of songs was to get the best versions to release them.

Stephen Flow · June 2008

I knew we'd get Even Flow, Given To Fly, DTE, Alive and Why Go again.

Once I saw those 3 singers out for All Night, I knew they'd be back for Who You Are and WMA, which is fine because I love all 3 songs... but if anyone wants to point the repeat finger, it's because of those three singers really and CJ Ramone... they wanted to get the guests out again and I have no probs there.

Of the repeats though I'd have to say that... I was hoping Guaranteed would be played instead of No More... I'm just kind of tired of No More, don't hate, it just doesn't do much for me although I completely agree w/ the message.

I love Corduroy so I didn't mind that.... but I kinda wished they played a different one instead... something like Hail, Hail even would have been nice in place of it.

I prolly coulda done w/ out I believe in miracles again, I thought it was gonna be Sonic Reducer at first but nope... Still a fun sing along though.

Still wishing they played Black last night, we'll get it in Hartford though.

......and not one song from binaural.

what the shit.

on2legs · June 2008

I was at 4 shows this tour... Camden 1 & 2 and MSG 1 & 2.

I think I counted 65 different songs they played over those 4 shows which is incredible.

Stop worrying about the repeats and look at how many different songs they give you from night to night.

Is there another band right now that comes close to 65 different songs over 4 shows?

rebornFixer · June 2008

Its not that much ... Miracles was repeated because the Ramone dude was in the house, Ed always takes his No More slot, and they did the tour breakouts (Who You Are, All Night) both nights ... Other than that, they repeated the "warhorses" (E-flo, Corduroy, DTE, Why Go, etc.).
I'd love it if they did no repeats, but that typically does not happen. They still played, what, 30 or more songs across both nights that were not repeats? That's a lot. See other people's comments re. STP, and other bands.

Nope, I don't think so. Does Bruce Springsteen do more repeats than PJ? He's the only rocker who might come close to what they do.

He definitely has more repeats than PJ. He uses the same main core setlist every nite, and has a few "wild card" slots where he'll mix it up. But nothing close to how Pearl Jam mixes it up

didnt read through whole thread- but they were filming both nights and maybe wanted to cover their tracks, angles and maybe choose best versions for the DVD- just a thought- still 5 years ago there werent any repeats from night 1-2 if i can remember...THis is why MSG 1 was better if you went both night- I said "again?" too many times. Dont get me wrong, i LOVE all the songs they repeated, theres just soooo many songs i still wanna hear. Also some repeats from DC- so it was like triple repeats!

spankyMP · June 2008

the only repeats i could have done without on night 2 were all night and no more, but i still enjoyed them both each time and was actually hoping to hear all night at least once.

if you told me going in that i would see them play a total of 59 songs over 2 nights with only 11 repeats, i would sign up for that every time, which is why i go to every local show.

My problem with it is its lyrical simplicity combined with its musical simplicity. I was sick of it th e3rd time I heard it.

That explains perfectly why I don't like the song. I was sick of it half way through the first time. I feel like for a song that could be, and probably be should be very emotional, its just kind of cheesy.
