    Save You was a rockin' radio hit back in the day (early 2003, I suppose) and I always enjoyed hearing it. When out a downloaded the song off Kazaa or Limewire (whatever was used back then). Is it all the f-bombs that make you deem it to be juvenile or do you find that it doesn't show enough musical growth for the band (i.e., just another rocker in the same vein as Hail Hail?)

    Thumbing My Way is a very nice tune. If I am not in the mood for it, I find it a bit too "folksy," however. That doesn't happen to me with, say, Off He Goes or Nothingman.
  2. Originally posted by EDDMB:Its amazing...you cant imagine how many live PJ cds I have...the artwork MAKES you want to burn the mp3 to cd..

    At this point in time, my hard drive is just quite full - although I "backed up" all the shows I have from 2010 and 2011. I haven't burned too many discs other than the various mixes I made.

    I just don't know where to start!
  3. Actually, I do.

    I plan to burn all the Canadian shows from 2000, 2003, 2006, and 2009 (and I suppose 2005 and 2011, eventually). Although I may see if I can find the 2000 Montreal and Toronto shows on eBay or something. It might be a bit tougher to get those 2003 shows.
  4. Yes,the F bombs remind me of say....Green Day.....its silly IMO.

    If I was you,I would pick a tour..say Canada 2005..and just stay with it..download a gig....burn it to cd..delete from you comp,and just rip a couple of standout tunes...thats what I do...

    The 2000 gigs from Canada were good..not great IMO.After the Canadian gigs,some of the best gigs the band did in 2000 were played..Det 10.07,East Troy 10.08,Chicago 10.09 and St Louis 10.11.
  6. From 2003 on..the Canadian gigs were some of the best gigs the band played on each tour...no question...and I love (obviously) Canada 05..lol...and 2011..but 05 was amazing...

    I see your point but I think there are still some decent lyrics in "Save You" - and you (or at least I) can't deny that musically it rocks in the same ways Hail Hail, Brain of J, or Grievance does.

    I am sure you are right - I listened to the Montreal gig the other day and poor Stone was having all sorts of equipment problems. Although, the Toronto gig as some very good performances.

    I am just being a "partriot" - and reminding myself of what I missed so I never make that mistake again.

    The second half of the 2011 tour suffered from what we discussed earlier - they brought back songs from Riot Act and Avocado (as well as too many cover, imho, but that's EV) when they should have brought back others.

    Examples:
    Winnipeg: I bet the crowd was pretty quiet during Green Disease and Comatose (don't worry, I won't knock that they also played Inside Job - a favourite of yours Ed, no?). Why not get Blood and/or Leash in the set now?

    Saskatoon: God's Dice didn't need to be played a second time on the tour (how about playing Breakerfall instead?)

    Calgary: Big Wave? Nah. No Way? Yes way.

    Edmonton: U again? 1/2 Full? (1/2 empty) Come Back? (stay away) I recall getting a bit antsy as they'd yet to play I Am Mine, Sometimes, and In Hiding. The "Wasted" duo was pretty solid but what about Tremor Christ?

    Vancouver: One last chance to play every song from Ten...please play Oceans....please play Oceans...nope.They played Pilate, Unemployable, and Smile - three of my LEAST favourite PJ tunes. I won't mention my struggles with Mankind. Invalid url 'http://WWW makes' it's debut, which is ...okay but my least favourite single of the 2000's. And of course, wait for it Ed, Save You makes an appearance which I recall thinking "That's a good thing but still, where's Oceans!?!?"
  10. (i admittedly read all the last posts in a hurry and of course i'm kidding hehe but ..)
    so you boys think they should do the upcoming tour playing "just" a fifty of songs .. the big three + a bunch of others .. no way .. they don't play cold hehe



  11. nice how they distracted people from what was on the main stage (actually stole them from there hehe) :7

    Well....I guess we are...or at least I am - which may reduce my PJ fan status slightly. I still LOVE their 1990's music but, after a significant break, find it hard to put a lot of their "newer" material along side it.

    I'm not saying they shouldn't play anything from the 2000's and I don't think PJ would be the band they are today if they just played "the hits" from wither of their two decades of reign. As a collector of PJ material (i.e., concerts), I appreciate the variety of stuff - I think I have every studio track at least once in a live format is awesome - but I think the sequence Ed was referring to in the Hamilton 2005 show was a bit "off course" - especially compared to what they started with.
