No Way is an excellent example. Played somethin like 12 times. Ever.
They have performed cover versions of songs written by other artists more often thirty times. Are their setlists really that good given this and OPs comprehensive list? I don’t go to see PJ to hear music written by other artists. That’s how good I believe their songs to be.
Dark Matter already has six tunes played more. No way any of them are better.
100%. I was super pumped to get No Way in LA in 2013 and I hope I experience something like that again this coming weekend.
But to your point, yes, their catalog is too big and too good to play more than one cover a show...I could do with zero, but one new or rare cover song is okay. I liked RITFW the first time I heard it end a show...but it's a downer to me now (it just means the show is over and I didn't get to hear Deep, etc. again). Luckily all of the DM songs will be new to me, but yeah, it's always nice to knock off an older one, and that gets exponentially harder as the show count grows.

Looks like a continuation of 2024. Not many surprises. How do they not play thin air, all or none, man of the hour, fatal, parting ways, etc at such a small venue?
