  1. I know we have literally hundreds of live versions of Animal, Go, and Corduroy but the fact that were omitted from both PJ20 sets put me off a bit. You know me and my liking for the PJ "hits."

    That said, I have complained a bit that the band didn't play songs like Whipping, Light Years, and Grievance this past Euro tour. However, these songs were played in Canada last September so that's close enough. Also, these songs they did play were great - all of Ten, all of Vs (Although WMA was just tagged), my seven favourites from Vitalogy (plus Bugs, I suppose), tonnes (and the greats) from No Code and Yield plus the absolute best tracks from the four 2000's albums and a slew of classic non-album tracks and covers. Not too shabby at all
  3. thanks man .. it's always nice to add a site to bookmarks to check every now and then
  4. Originally posted by EDDMB:Thats true Matt...by the way,what ever happened to the PJ20 Alpine gigs ?? 10 months and waiting ? Im not even that interested in them now..the Toronto gigs came AFTER PJ20,and they seem old to me now,I guess cause I listened to them so much over the fall and winter...

    lets talk it back when (if?!) they will come out in such a nice package hehe
    hoping it won't be Vault #99 uh
  5. it's a bit nit-picking "complaining" of something in this mini tour .. uh one sure thing to complain of is right this .. it was mini!! hehehe
    some more dates and those songs would have been played Matt
    anyway sometimes it's good to try to force something not so good because always writing/reading "great" "awesome" "wonderful" "best ever" .. becomes boring hehe .. and what kind of discussion it'd be?
  6. In terms of the quality (and quanity, i suppose) of songs played, I'd say that Euro 2012 beat all four mini tours from 2010 and 2011.
  7. just about the previous post of the "complaining" thing hehe .. a couple more from Riot Act wouldn't have been bad .. lets say Can't Keep and All Or None (that i really love)
    it's been a while both are not played
    Can't Keep since 2008
    All or None since the Vic show!!! 2007 .. where it was the opener .. and before that not played so often
  8. There are some good tunes from Riot Act and the two you mentioned (Can't Keep and All or None) would be nice in a slower/acoustic portion of the set - paired up with Just Breathe???? And how about Thumbing My Way? That would work nicely there as well.

    Songs like Get Right, Ghost, and Help Help (surprisingly played at PJ20) are solid but, in all likelihood, will be shelved for the most part.

    Bu$hleaguer is definitely done - unless another oil tycoon from Texas becomes president.

    Matt Cameron wrote Cropduster, right? I think that's why they play it. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of that one.

    Like other fans, I thought that You Are would get played - although it was omitted from the Canadian tour in 2011.

    As for the Riot Act singles, I guess EV was sick of I Am Mine last year (played on his solo tour but not the PJ one) so it was nice to see it back. Not surpirsed that Save You made a few appearances. I guess LBC was a no-brainer for Denmark.

    They seem to really like Half Full (or 1/2-Full). I guess it's a good one to "jam" on. I don't mind it - but don't love it. Same goes for Green Disease. A good song - just not one of my favourites.
  9. 1/2 Full was amazing in Stockholm when Eddie grabbed that guitar and reflected his spotlight light around the stands. Not the strongest song though.
  10. It's a song for the die-hards, I suppose - for fans who want to hear deeper cuts (I think I'm using an itunes term there). Again, I think it's got a good, heavy, classic-sounding riff, However, it just doesn't grab me the way other songs (even other ones from their second decade) do.
  11. Time for a list:

    Doing a top 10 (or even top 20, 30, 40, or 50) PJ songs list that includes songs from the 1990's is virtually impossible. However, using just ones from their last four albums (and b-sides, if necessary) is doable - I think:

    1. Nothing as it Seems
    2. Can't Keep
    3. Unthought Known
    4. Save You
    5. I Am Mine
    6. Severed Hand
    7. Insignificance
    8. Just Breathe
    9. Light Years
    10. Parting Ways

    Okay, that was harder than I thought.
  12. Yeah! I love lists lol

    No specific order

    Sad
    Unthought Known
    Insignificance
    Marker in the Sand
    Light years
    Amongst the Waves
    You Are
    I am mine
    Nothing as it Seems
    Severed hand

    Very hard to do
