    After my top 5,IMO Hard Sun is hands down better than anything this band has released since Yeild....
  4. Severed Hand > Sleight of Hand

    Hands down.

    Hands All Over? (Oops, wrong band).
  5. Actually,I have listened to Into The Wild a hell of alot more than any of those releases..including Yeild and No Code,which were recorded like shit...
  7. Not for You?
  9. ^One of the most neglected songs in the PJ canon.

    (I read somewhere that they didn't like to play it live as there isn't that much to it - too simple.)
  10. mine wasn't in order of preference of course and .. jeez You Are yes please hehe
  11. 2006-05-19 Van Andel Arena - Grand Rapids, MI

    Coming from the last “wrong” date PJ need to shake it all over and it seems clear since the start. The longest title in PJ catalogue rise in the set promoted at opener rank .. Elderly Woman behind The Counter ..
    They wanted a hot crowd since the start and they got it .. obvious sing along int the arena.
    Good move like, I think, is going on with Given To Fly .. double classic and the band is already in, no distraction tonight.
    After this odd beginning, for this first part of the tour, the due promoting time comes carrying the inseparable three .. solid rock with solid performance going through Suicide – Life Wasted – Severed Hand.
    Second points-gaining moment appears when Eddie and Stoney throw that doubled riff which means .. Sad!
    I love the song and I always love when it surfaces, this time making care less the Marker tax that has to be paid next.
    Red Mosquito – Even Flow is a good way to recoup soon the concert. No flaw caught my attention so far, nobody of the five (plus one) seems to be sub standard, on the contrary .. Mike is there to demonstrate it on his spotlight time of Even Flow, well sustained by Matt Jeff And Stone.
    Boom Gaspar is introduced on B3, not at the end of a song so it can only be .. Love Boat Captain, the most remarkable contribution in songwriting by Boom. For obvious reasons a tune very felt by the band and by the fans as well I’d say. It’s the birthday of Townshend, who helped the boys to tough that tragedy out, maybe it’s a also a homage to him in a certain way.
    A safe and great Corduroy makes as bridge to the other birthday tribute of the day .. the beloved Joey (Ramone), “come home” sigh and the snippets of Daughter cannot be other but Blitzkrieg Bop and I Believe In Miracles .. good Eddie good.
    Spotlight on Jeff now and on his Army Reserve (for the music at least) of which I like the bass riff .. groovy. Jeff shows that he can make his job well while he watches a basketball match hehe
    In fact after the easy Green Disease (I like a lot when such underdogs are played .. every now and then) he announces the Pistons win hehe .. the “basketball” fans get hotter leading the band through a pretty energetic Why Go.
    The beautiful Inside Job and classic Rearviewmirror to close a very well done and played main set .. not much traditional.

    And the tradition is thrown away mainly with the encores!
    Sleight of Hand-Off He Goes-Around the Bend-Parting Ways-Hard To Imagine all at once in strict succession? Really?? .. now that is what i call not-for-all sequence .. i’m amazed .. i love these guys hehe
    Around the Bend quite rare playing since 1996 till .. well now. Hard to Imagine .. one of the “hidden” songs most loved by die-hards
    Quite shocked i don’t even care if they were performer at the top or not hehe
    Crowd seem toh ave loved to as it’s showed when classic wave returns. Very pulled Crazy Mary, great partecipation by the people there, great great double progression by Boom and Mikey … awesome!
    Classic of the classic to close this amazingly odd encore .. the fever of the venue is definetely out of control and has its natural explosion in Alive ..a never ending so damn good one!

    Second encore returns to “normality” with the “usual” Do the Evolution followed by Comatose to give the venue a hard rock shaking .. pumped ones .. nice Eddie with the megaphone.
    Usual ride to the end of the show? Not at all there’s still time to fuck minds up as Matt rolls the start of .. Satan’s Bed .. cool!! Like all the audience has to think singing quite loud since the first verse .. really great .. Boom and his B3 to give its classic sound.
    And they keep on going .. at this point nothing counts anymore … Leatherman .. Blood to form another amazing subset.
    No words left by now … and is there anything left? Eddie says
    Time to celebrate the 2 monsters of the Music who respond to the names of Pete Townshend and Joey Ramone and Baba O’Riley goes out for them. Great song to end.
    But Mike still has something to say and start to hail with his classic way .. Yellow Ledbetter.
    “Grand Rapids, who knew?!? That was great … thank you so much. If listen to the tapes, it’s gonna sound like we’re just bullshittin’, but you had to be here. This was really great tonight, thank you so, so much.” Eddie Vedder
    Thank you too guys for giving that audience a great special night and for us for letting enjoy it “just” via bootleg. Love it
    Top form top mood top crowd top particolar set .. all ingredients that drive me crazy
    Awesome gig!

    Highlights: Sad – Daughter – Love Boat Captain – Crazy Mary – Around the Bend – Hard To Imagine - Alive - Satan's Bed - Blood .. and many others .. better saying the whole concert!

    Rating : 5 (1/2 if possible hehe)
