    I don’t mind shorter sets.... IF they bring opening bands back.

    I'll say it. Oh wait, I have many times. Porch is over done and kills the momentum.
    What don't you like about the song? Lyrics? The riffs? Predictable jam?

    Exactly. I recall, for example, Eddie killing (in a good way) "Do The Evolution" during the Buffalo 2013 show. When I listened to the bootleg  few months later, Eddie really did kill it - but in a bad way.

    In the end, however, it doesn't really matter how it sounds on the bootleg. Live shows are for people who are there. The bootlegs are a special bonus.

    ALL I KNOW IS THAT PJ SHOULD END THEIR SHOWS WITH EVENFLOW.

    It's a win-win for "fans" and average concert goer.
    for about the last 10 years I've thought Even Flow being moved to the encore would breathe a new life into the song.  i'd agree would love it more towards the end.

    Swap Porch and Evenflow. That would be a perfect switch. While they're at it, swap RVM and Alive, remove RITFW from almost every show (make 1:5 ratio), use a No Code song as the pre-closing song (rotating Smile, In My Tree, RM or PT), incorporate Parting Ways, All or None and Immortality in to a revolving closer role with YL (all can be extended and jammed out to end the show) and lastly, play more Lost Dogs tracks!
    It's a hopeless situation...

    It really was. Almost painful, definitely embarrassing.

    I always wondered if Eddie was under the weather at the Buffalo 2013.  During "Evolution" it sounded like he was trying to catch his breath.  That has always been my opinion.

    If he was he was sick twice in a very short time. He was fine Worcester 1 and sick Worcester 2. Buffalo was right before Worcester I believe.

    I love watching PJ fans lie to themselves and argue for shorter shows, they know they are full of shit lol
    Probably very true
    Nah, I think 2.25 hours is a perfect amount of time for the average show, but maybe because that is when I mentally check out when the last 6 songs are all greatest hits.

    I think long songs played every night (RVM, Porch, Better Man, Alive, Black) wear on people's nerves that go to a lot of shows or listen to a lot of boots.   Better Man is like 3 minutes of boredom to get to the end which is awesome (SIFL tag).
