betterman every show? I cant think of the last time pj did not have this song in their setlist lol, I liked it for a while but they played it so much, now I just wish they would replace it each night with a rare song instead

(That said, "Last Kiss" was technically the highest-charting hit, but I don't care to hear that in concert. The only time I saw them do it was in 1998, before they'd put out the single, so it didn't bother me then, but would feel like a wasted setlist space now.)
They normally do though and why wouldn't they? The crowd signs half of the song and goes mental.
I like rarities as well but I would rather Better Man than Bee Girl or Help, Help. Personal preference....
But I cant wait for the sing a long at Wrigley.
Its one of the first songs Ed ever wrote and it must blow him away every time he hears the crowd sing it.
Almost half. Meanwhile, I have seen Alive and DTE 10 times and Even Flow at 8.

But they have to appease the 'fans' who haven't heard much from them since Vs. or Vitalogy.
For me...I figure it's a good time for a quick restroom break!

Corduroy and Even Flow were on the list too, but they didn't get played in Toronto on Sept. 11, 2011.
But yes, as already mentioned, lots of people are at their first PJ show, so they need to throw in the "hits" as well....

I think I've gotten Jeremy 2 time out of 10 shows.
C'mon, you really leave during 'Alive' to take a leak? Perhaps you've seen too many shows.
it amazes me when people have seen other songs more than even flow. i didn't get an even flow free show until pj20, which was something like my 19th show. and then it only took until my next show, missoula, to get another even flow free show. funny how that works. i expect wrigley will not be even flow free, however, and that is a-ok.
Yes, I thought about that after I posted. How about EWBTC? Or Corduroy (but I dig that one every time).

It was on the leaked setlist so I will not bet that

It's all about the timing. A guy has to take a break if he's had a few 'pops' before/during the show! If Alive is being played where it's usually played (near the end) then no, I'm not leaving. But once mother nature calls and I hear a song I've heard a lot before live, especially when it's one of the aforementioned songs, then yes...I bolt to the bathroom!!!
