    Honest question: would you rather have a show of rarities or a show with well known songs where the crowd is in to it? No middle ground on your answers! :-)

    So, the show of rarities equals no crowd energy?

    You kind of loaded that question.

    Sorry gang, the US tour has been cancelled. Ed just said that there's no way they'll be able to top tonight's setlist in Leeds.


    ...kidding, of course they will! This band never ceases to amaze. Excited for October!!!

    Holy balls....What a set list!

    Assume the crowd owns the greatest hits CD and Lightning Bolt.

    That's a great question. I'd have to answer that personally I'd enjoy a show of rarities, similar to what was just dropped at Leeds. It's those "holy shit" moments that really surprise me with this band, the "I can't believe they're treating the hardcore fans to THAT" songs.

    It sure would suck to not have the crowd into it (could you imagine 'Alive' with no fist-pumping "yeah" part at the end?), but that element of surprise is what gets me off these days during the live show.
    I realize that a show like this would likely upset the majority of the crowd, so... Sorry majority! I'd rather have the rare treats for the fans who've stuck with PJ thru the years, almost as an acknowledgement from the band that yeah we're gonna reward ya for your dedication.

    I think the band should do fan club shows again. They can throw out the rarities then. ;-)

    I think I'd take a rarities show for any of my top 10 bands come to think of it.

    In the land of selfishness, give me a 4 hour, 45 song performance that includes 20 rarities and 25 "standards". I mean, they keep one-upping themselves from show to show, so by the end of the fall tour we may just be at a show that is 3.5hrs plus

    I can see the scalper's eyes light up if a small fan club pj show was announced.

    Ed would really have to lightly sip on his bottles of wine if the train is going to stay on the tracks for your four hour concert... :-O

    Will PJ pass the forty song threshold for the last euro date?
