Your perfect PJ setlist

jdelin · July 2008

After seeing PJ play the two Mansfield shows, I was thinking about the perfect PJ setlist - I went through my boots (gave preference to shows I have been to and amazing performances of certain songs), and grabbed a bunch of songs that I would want to hear and made a playlist on my iPod. I made it believable (meaning songs they've used as an opener, to end a set before the encore, and a regular closer). And I did go up to about three hours, since PJ has played three hour sets before (although if they ever did play this set, they couldn't play it at Mansfield!) Everyone has their opinions, and I've left out some songs that I have seen a million times already (like Alive, Even Flow, Small Town). Here is what I came up with - was wondering what others would put together!

canadian_viking · July 2008

what is with everyone ending their perfect setlist with YL.
Granted - I love the song, but am I the only one who loves not knowing what the closer will be.
YL has become too predictable.

I'll post my "wishlist" tonight.

I think I seleted YL mostly for the tags at the end - Little Wing, Star Spangled Banner - any McCready solos. It is a good song, but Mr. Mike McCready rocks those solos at the end!

canadian_viking · July 2008

i agree with you on that ...the tags are amazing.
in 06 - night 2 in Toronto, we got Beast of Burden after YL

I agree. for me, its just a matter of personal preference; its my favorite way to end the set (i certainly respect others who dont feel the same way or are simply tired of it).

I was also close to adding the full version of little wing, but i thought i was pushing it with the song count. Ive seen four shows and got Yellow led twice - others were indifference, which i thought was a fantastic closer, and baba. I still prefer to end it with Mike tearing it up.

I think this show would leave you feeling like you want more... which is a good thing (I think)

Lots of you guys want these 35-40 song shows... I think the crowd would lose interest after a while... get tired and want to leave... they'd make great boots though
