    Pretty terrible live. No thanks

    Pretty terrible on the record too. :) I've only heard it on bootlegs but not impressed.

    Johnny Guitar would be great. I know people hate that song but it's one of the only ones I like on Backspacer.

    I don't understand why people don't like Backspacer or any album for that matter. Like wat.
    They can play any song anytime and I'd be happy. Sure there are songs I'd like to hear more than others but still.

    it's amazing that people have an opinion huh?

    Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you HAVE to share it. Geez why can't we all just be fucking nice?

    I'm up for hearing Backspacer front to back. It's the only album I've heard less of live than Yield.

    me too. we will most likely get shit on for these sediments but i'm not one to care... i love the album.
    We will only get shit on from the half-fans so don't worry about it.
    :plus_one: It's unfortunate for those who don't hear what we hear.

    The playing of red dot as intro music before the 98 shows should qualify as having it played on stat tracker. That's as close as we'll ever get.

    Saw it in Van '13 and it was great, maybe it just fits better on the west coast :wink:

    Would love to hear see this in the rotation again. Vancouver 2013 is a great showing, love that Ed shouts for the lyrics sheet about 10 seconds after the song starts.

    When was the last time you saw it?
    I'm sure they had time to polish it.
    Hartford 2010. They ve played it three times since. I m thinking the band knows this is a klunker live.
    I saw it in Vancouver 2013 too and they did a good job. I really enjoyed it live, and I don't even care for the song normally.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    Somewhat off topic (but that's what threads are for), does Eddie have to use lyric sheets (or monitors) very often? I believe he used one during Parachutes in London 2013.

    I remember at Holmdel 2003 he wrote the lyrics to wash on a pizza box!! Lol

    All positive vibes here. Love Backspacer. Don't care who knows it. Only ever heard Unknown Though live. Love Gonna see my Friend. Also, want to hear Force of Nature, Amongst the Waves. I think Johnny Guitar is one if the only remotely raunchy songs in the PJ catalog.

    Ok, it's not the worst song in the world by a long shot. My biggest problem with it was that they opened with it one night in Philly, I believe. Doesn't work as an opener in my opinion.

    it was philly 3 which is probably one of my favorite shows ever. however I do skip the song when listening to the boot.
