It’s funny, I made a “wishlist” in 2016 just for fun and I ended up getting everything except Red Mosquito and You Are. However, both were on setlists but scratched. You Are was on philly 1 but scratched and RM was on both Fenway sets and both times skipped. I was very lucky to get some of my top songs multiple times that year. Release x3, Breath x3 , in my tree x2 in hiding x2.... man what a year that was! Plus finishing it with Temple of the Dog at msg was the cherry on top.
Having Given To Fly so early in the show, the first PJ song that caught my attention when I stole my dad's Yield album fascinated by its artwork and not knowing what was inside, was something else. Corduroy, RVM in the encore just when I was losing hope of hearing it... And of course Release opening. I totally get why hard die fans (btw I sold a ticket to a Peruvian girl who had seen........ 139 shows! Madrid was her 140th. Impressive) would think Madrid was a super standard and not really special show - setlist wise it wasn't, of course. No rarities and nothing really stood out. But for me it was the almost perfect show to get started in the PJ madness. Now I'm only wishing they come back soon (it won't happen 
).
