In defense of Cincy '06...
I know everyone bitches about this show...shitty setlist, too short, etc, etc... I just want to say that it was one of the best shows I've been to... I hadn't seen the band since that '03 Birmingham show, and to me, it was spot on. No, they didn't play any "rarities", but they seemed "on" to me. Maybe it was just where I was in life, I don't know. My (now ex) husband promised to go with me, since the show was the day before my birthday. And, of course, he bailed. Two hours later, my friend Jess said she would go because she knew how much it meant to me. To this day, I think she may still only know Jeremy and Betterman, but she went and it made my year. So yeah, maybe Cincy wasn't one to go down in the "instant classic" status, but some of us take what we can get, right?! Just throwing my thoughts out there...

I don't give a rats ass about what others say about Cincy 06. To me it was a very strong showing of emotion from the band and I will cherish the bootleg for the rest of my days.
Not to mention it was 40 degrees outside.
The show also ended with the "only funny to the band encore" One Note.

I actually agree. Thought it was a fun show with great energy.
Oh and Speedy sucks.
Not really because everyone has different opinions on what is good and what is not.
I've like all PJ shows, but plenty I would rank below this one.

I thought the opening set was awesome. I was really, really into the show. The first encore is where I started to lose interest as you had 5 really longer drawn out songs in a row and I was looking for more of the punch, short rocking songs (or at least not five of their longest songs in a row).
A really good show though.
that's it?
I expected more out of you speedy...
:P
Give me a little time.

There's really no such thing as a bad PJ show unless you are feeling under the weather...

"Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!"
Dayton's own Bob Pollard was the opening act, which seemed to excite Eddie a bit. The band referenced the Who tragedy of 1979, and the part Roger and Pete played in getting PJ through Roskilde's aftermath (which I heard echoed five years later at PJ20 when Glen Hansard told the story of how he got to know Eddie after his own band's brush with tragedy). They sent out well-wishes (and "Wishlist") to Brian Shaffer, the missing fan from Columbus, and later in the show, Ed augmented a line in "Alive" to "Brian! All of us! We're all still alive!" And Ed wiped his ass with the Rolling Stone magazine he'd just been on the cover of (since he was pissed the band went against his wishes and didn't do a total-band cover photo). What more can you ask for?
Also, if I recall, some of the eagle-eyed forum denizens of the time noticed the road crew seemed to be setting up for a final encore (with Jeff's upright bass, hinting it would probably include an "Indifference" closer) before putting the kibosh on it, probably due to city curfew on the arena's shows. So complaints about it not being long enough don't really bother me overall.
I'm still a single-digit PJ concertgoer (Wrigley will be my 9th PJ show, though I've been a dedicated fan since 1992), so I'm not terribly jaded about setlists or anything, but I still count that as a great show.
Same here. The setlist doesn't look too bad.
