    same goes for Just Breathe .. which i love

    what you mean with "crowd"? casuals? i think they recognize far way more Alive, Better Man and Just Breathe itself rather than The Fixer

    Well, they play Just Breathe all the time too Yeah, casuals. Last time I checked Alive and Better Man aren't from their latest album.

    I think it's a bit of a prestige thing for a band to play songs from their latest album. Even if it's a few years old.



  2. yeah it can be prestigious but there are some other songs in the album that can be played some more time instead of Fixer .. and Just Breathe too yes
  3. But those two songs may be the most recognizable for the casuals.
  4. Or maybe they just love playing it, maybe it's special to them.
  5. Angie was just a couple of bars last night, so I don't think we can count that as a song.
  6. Ah, the old "snippet" debate rears it's ugly head.

    Speaking of snippets/tags, I hope they play "It's Okay" at the end of Daughter at least once during this tour.

    Have I stated before that I like that tag?
  7. Why the hell do we say "tag" when it's PJ and "snippet" when it's U2?
  8. Snippet/tag..same thing..I just hate that U2Gigs actually count a snippit as a song..example..Happy Birthday...singing 2 lines..that isnt a song being performed.Its a crowd chant/sing along.lol...

    I find it hard to believe that U2 played 60 different "actual songs" (not counting snippets like when Bono says one line of All You Need Is Love during Streets) in 2 years..as sad as that sounds..being that DMB and PJ play that amount in a week..or less....I will have to look into that...

    Got back from Hershey last night..it was great..DMB were very very good as usual,the gig got cut short by 2 songs,as a wild electrical storm came in before the encore...still loved it...GA in front of the soundboard with my oldest daughter...

    I have to say,that setlist from Praha looks amazing..makes me wonder if that is THE gig of the tour so far ? One of the best Euro gigs from 2000 was Praha..06.14.00..if some of you havent listened to that show,please do..the band are on fire,and Eddie makes his infamous quote after Red Mosquito...'The last time we were here,it was really cold out..and now,its as hot as the Devils asshole"...classic...

    I have to tell you guys all about the Isle of Wight Festival today....
  9. hard to say if it's the best so far .. as often happen hehe
    have you taken a look at Amsterdam N2 Ed? .. it's a hard fight hehe

    Its funny,I have this same argument with DMB fans..Big Whiskey came out in June 2009,and Dave is still playing alot of songs from it,much to some of the "diehards" chagrin...

    Most artists want to play newer songs,if they keep playing older tunes what is that saying about their recently released material ?

    But they have to know,we the fans,dont want to hear a weak song like Supersonic,or Got Some or please God no...not Johnny Guitar (its awful) 3 years after its release....

    No..I havent really checked the selists much...I will look at that gig now...Im biased,but I feel Manchester 2 was amazing..and is a top gig for sure so far...
  12. Both shows are close....Amsterdam 2 had some encore..wow....Praha had a few extra songs though.....

    Whats with Got Some ?...enough already...
