It's one of my favorite songs, but they don't seem to play it.

    Sorry, that was bad.

    I had a SMILE sign a couple of times, didnt really work. Im gonna have to work on a SMILE campaign for the next tour. already got some cool and ridiculous ideas :D
    Anyhow, I even had a smiley face on my cheeks at Wembley and Zagreb last year, I actually put that on my face at pretty much every show. it either gets washed away from all the sweat or they dont see it.
    Next time gotta do something very visible so theyll play it ;)

    I heard Smile twice on the 2006 tour. Once in Cleveland and once in Pittsburgh.

    You just have to get lucky.

    Been fortunate enough to hear it twice (once at the Ice Bowl at Alpine, and at Summerfest last year). It's usually a good bet they will play it in or near Milwaukee because of the connection with Dennis from the Frogs which is explained on both boots!!

    I think this forum is the prime reason why PJ rocks so fucking much....especially their live shows.
