Not that we need it but it would be a pretty cool "box set" if PJ were to release the 48 songs that are being used for the 2013 World Series soundtrack in a single package.
Good show last night..Breath of course was the standout tune ...and the ONLY standout IMO from Brooklyn
The Philly shows were very similar to Brooklyn....Pendulum opened 4 straight shows..Im sorry but for PJ,that is very lazy.I cant remember the last time the band had so many repeats...Philly is only 80 miles away from NYC, in past years the band treated the NYC/Philly gigs as one city...not the case this time round....
The Philly shows were not worth the hassle....if you look at the sets the standout tunes in Brooklyn blew away Philly...Wash >Nothingman 2nd and 3rd last night as they were N2 Brooklyn.....
I had a great time last night...we arrived in the lot at 745...bolted inside, grabbed a round and got to our seats by the side of the stage in time for Pendulum....main set was actually boring for me..Chris was even disappointed...but this would have been different if it wasnt our 4th straight show...PT was very good as always, but not close the the epic greatness of Brooklyn..Got Some and the average Amongst the Waves were not received well in my section..crowd was better last night ,though they palled in comparison to Brooklyn.
Parachutes Come Back were snoozers and Im so sick of UK and Porch..my Lord again with Porch ?? what happened to Jeremy and NO CODE ?
BLOOD and Alive were fantastic and saved an otherwise boring double encore...Leaving Here is beyond predictable into Baba and Ledbetter....
My 2 Brooklyn shows were amazing..as predicted...Philly was disappointing to say the least....maybe I just overdosed in the 4 shows ?????
Never thought I would say that about Pearl Jam....
I got lucky last night with a great seat right near the soldier Eddie gave a bottle to and the section was rocking. The 4 slow song encore was a snoozer, bad song choices but I still had a great time. Breath--> SOLAT, solid MFC, amazing Satans Bed ( might have been a first fir me I can't remember my head is pounding) and an absolute killer Baba o Reilly are what made the show fir me. Nothing compares to the 2 Bklyn shows.
Yes, that was the first time I seen Satans Bed. Thank god for PJ stat tracker app!! Only the 30th performance. Why ? I feel they played it perfectly and the crowd ate up the singalong chorus. Whatever.
Would it have killed the band to bust out Red Mosquito Smile and Jeremy as they did in Boston ? To not play Jeremy at 1 of 4 area gigs in NYC is bizarre ..and play PORCH 4 times ? WTF is that about ??
I know Ed. You're right. I'm still so happy I went and i still think they are the best live band in the world but this is as predictable as their sets have ever been. My last 3 show run was 2010 Newark, MSG 1&2 and boy were those 3 setlists not even recognizable from one to the other. I can't complain as I got songs like MFC, Oceans , Chloe/Thorns, Satans bed, Wash, Release, Sleight of Hand and dissident which I didn't get in 2010
I was at the 3 gigs you mentioned.as well in 2010......PJ are great live and their unpredictable sets lists from the past are getting predictable...
DMB are the only other band I go to see numerous times.....this past year, Jones Beach WPB 2 nights stands had ZERO REPEATS...over 40 different tunes over the 2 nights and I believe I heard close to 55 different songs at those 4 gigs.....
