1. This is indeed a great setlist - the "big four" from Ten, many greats from Vs and Vitalogy, great rockers from No Code and Yield, classic Binaural tunes that are still in the set, a relatively high number of Riot Act songs, some great cover (Crazy Mary to open), and YLB to close - and all songs are played with great vigor!

    I'll be listening to this one for a few days, for sure.

    Matt.....I would suggest you catch Dave Matthews Band,they are playing in Toronto June 2nd..talk about a band where you have no clue as to what they will play....great live band...
  3. You know, I've never really given them a chance. Maybe a should. My wife's a fan (at least she was) so she might appreciate it.

    No "promises" but I'll consider it - for you. (I've always assumed the DMB in your username was paying homage to Dave Matthews and his band)


  4. It being three years since their last album, maybe they'll start changing things up by not changing things up.

    Maybe they could borrow "The Claw."

    I'm afraid it wouldn't fit in the indoor arenas that they're playing.

    Nice!

    Doing a little "reseach" and according to setlist.fm this was the last time PJ played this song. It also says that Tom Petty had only performed this song once - ever !- and it wasn't until 2011 in Detroit (??????). Is that a mistake?


    Tom Petty has in fact performed this song almost at just about every show since its release. Perhaps you were looking at solely "Tom Petty" and not "Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers", which is what you would find his setlist data under.

  10. Ah, you're right - I do recall seeing just "Tom Petty."

    I wonder if Tom Petty has evered covered PJ?
  11. Matt...full report on Philly please.......tell me..isnt that a classic gig...or what....
  12. I gave a small one earlier but I suppose I just listed WHAT was played and said it had vigor. It is indeed one of the best setlists I have ever heard. Opening with Crazy Mary was a bold decision - a good one, I suppose. I guess I am so used to it being played closer to the end of a show. After that, it gets nuts. So many fired up tunes starting with the full-on Spin The Black Circle. That's a great one to get things going. Nice contrast there.

    I love the Hail, Hail/Save You combo. As far as the "rockers" go, those are my two favourites on their respective albums - I guess that's why they were singles. Green Disease is a good song - not a great one. Small Town is a good as ever while Nothing As It Seems is arguably better here than any of the entire 2000 tour performances - perfect timing for it in the set, as well. Even Flow is ...Even Flow....maybe not as good as Pitt, however, but still great energy.

    I could go on and simply rave about the rest of the set (although no RVM) but it would be the same thing over and over: INSERT SONG was INSERT AWESOME. I liked the back-to-back You Are and Half Full - shows confidence in the new material. Too bad they didn't get I Am Mine in there, as well. I will also add that I was impressed by the song selection in the first encore: Animal, Go, Glorified G (I do like that song), Better Man, and Alive. The crowd must have gone nuts for this stretch of songs. Glad they played Soon Forget instead of The Who song (Blue, Red, Grey) that Eddie admitted he stole it from in Champaign.

    A fantastic show indeed. Will listen to it again before moving onto Albany for Friday's "album of the (two) day(s)"
