    That'd be sweet.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    That would be sweet. I can see No More being a closer too.

    Hard Sun, if they play it, would be a cool closer, they could all jam out at the end. Would be a nice change of pace fro this mini tour.

    Not everyone has seen 26 shows in one year.
    Why close with a cover that was recorded by the singer on a solo project.
    Not cool.

    because, it is time to switch it up...
    I hope they start playing Jeremy at the end of every show!
    Ed didn't write hard sun, it is a cover... and I want to hear stone sing the backing vox!

    That's fine...but it had better be a PJ song.
    Ed had his shows and I am sure he will have many, many more.
    I don't want to hear Hard Sun as a closer.
    I would love to hear it in the pre-set.

    But do you really want a show to stop in the middle of ylb?
    I doubt security will let the show continue after I rip my ears off!

    I agree, YL is more fun. It's their signature closing song. Hard Sun deserves to be part of the main set anyways, if they ever decide to play it.

    Just as long as you are not going to be in Hartford, go for it.

    I agree. I remember when YLB ended a show and it was nothing more than an eight year old B side, 90% of the audience didn't know it. I love it, it's PJ heritage, some people here behave like spoiled kids.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    I could def. see them playing "Hard Sun" on the tour, but I don't know that they will close with it.

    As far as "Ledbetter" goes, I've been to 3 shows and never heard it so it wouldn't bother me in the slightest to finally here it live. Though, of the 3 closers I have seen only "Baba" blew me away. The other 2 were "Soldier of Love" (kinda anti climactic) and "Rockin in the Free World" (watered down due to presence of Sleater Kenney).

    I will be happy no matter what they play when I see them next month.

    well if it was properly played not backing track!

    I love how people who didn't have the opportunity to see one of Ed's shows get all bent out of shape because he used a backing track for Hard Sun. I was there and it was fuckin' awesome. Those who didn't go need to stop whining about something they didn't even witness.
