    I can't get enough of the band at the moment - just listening to bootleg after bootleg and it is making me want to see them again. That's why I would make the round trip to Canada if a tour happened. It would be nice to meet other diehards, but ones - like yourselves - that don't act like fans that are superior to others. I suppose we could just judge those sanctimonious arseholes while we're at the gig(s).


    At least your not so obsessive that you make mix after mix after mix after mix of all of these bootlegs!

    I know I've said this many times before but I really think this PJ bootleg thing is becoming a bit of a problem for me!

    PS. I got a 3-CD Euro 2014 mix in the works! Should be ready by the weekend!

    I haven't seen them enough to turn into one of those guys - and doubt I ever would/will at this point. In fact, I'd be thrilled with a greatest hits setlist.

    Oh, no! Another compilation idea!

    I will never turn into one of those. Even at my 100th show lol..... Its amazing that some will say a show is great because they played" Dont Give Me No Lip"........

    I don't know if it's fair to put it ahead of BB - which is possibly my all time favourite. BB also has the longevity factor going for it while TD has just eight episodes under its belt. Time will tell if it belongs amongst the TV Drama Gods - or if it turns into another Homeland!

    I cant imagine anything being better than BB.. As a matter of fact, I dont think I can handle a show better than BB..
  5. Yeah, without getting into specific songs, there are a bunch of songs that probably would kill the momentum of a show. DGNL would certainly be one in my books.

    I guess I best be careful to not turn into an setlist snob on the reverse end of what we're talking about. I'll be the first to admit that I've shaken my head at the inclusion of songs like Comatose and Got Some in a setlist.

    I am hoping to see both bands in the spring of 2015 - but Ed is probably right, U2 has a better chance of coming my way than PJ next year. The thing with U2 is that they'll likely hit all of our areas next year so travelling to see them might not be necessary.

    Exactly.....
  7. I'm curious what will become of the LB songs over the next couple of years. Will any be a frequent fixture like some of the 90's gems or will they go the way of the other songs off the 2000's albums? I am a bit surprised (but not upset) that The Fixer got the almost-complete-axe from the shows. I do connect a few Backspacer and LB songs, however...

    Got Some and MYM - both quick and heavy...gets a good portion of the crowd going. I liked both at first by neither stayed with me for the long run.

    Unthought Known and LB - both have a slow build that lead up to full on EV vocals.

    Just Breathe and Sirens - the ones about love and life...crosses over to both genders and many types of R&R fans.

    Any others?
  8. Sirens is an absolute classic....IMO , MYM is way better then Got Some ..but the band absolutely loves playing that tune...

    UK is ok , as is LB....


    I love Yellow Moon , Pendulum and Sirens...rest of the tunes from LB are good , but nothing I keep going back to a year after the release .
  9. I hope Pendulum sticks around. My favorite for sure

  10. For me, yeah. Breaking bad didn't really do it for me. It was good, but I never got why everyone was so obsessed by it. For someone with not enough time to sit down and watch a lot of television, the show was very drawn out.mcould have been over in three seasons. Went into way too much detail. Just my opinion of course
  12. I don't know how the hell did you PJers end up talking about fucking Breaking Bad but, as an avid TV-avoider (aka I don't even have a proper TV since I moved out from my parents', my PC is the only watchable thing here) and as a chemist, I absolutely loved that series. Brilliant, brilliant series.

    Oh, and see you in Dublin too
