Whether you liked/wanted it or not, they played all 13 of the songs from Binaural really well which is quite impressive for an album that rarely gets played. Obviously, the hits were played extremely well and got the crowd back into it.
Additional thought: Even more puzzling that Binaural was "Let Me Sleep (It's Christmas TIme)" in May. EV mentioned something about the snow in Canada.

"First set was amazing but let's be honest; take out the covers and the last 2 sets are horrible. Given to fly Black Alive Small town Blah blah blah And Corduroy again. Yeah?!"
I mean really ? This "fan" is complaining about hearing GTF Corduroy Alive Small Town and Black ? I can see being put off if it was N2 and all were repeats ( as I was , except Black of course) , but N1 ??
Must have been cool to hear Binaural in full...
I wonder why PJ wasn't played for its 10 year anniversary ? I think that would have been for one of the MSG gig....

How was the crowd during Binaural? For me the best part about Ten was the crowd was ballistic straight through,

Jeeez...If I were to complain (which I won't) I'd be ticked about the covers - not the hits!
If you (not you Ed, but some random PJ fan) are sick of the hits and are searching for that "white whale" (songs like Let Me Sleep or Hitchhiker) I think it might be best you sit a tour or two out.

To be honest, not so good. There wasn't any booing or anything - "tolerant" would be the word I should use - but there are a lot of "casuals" at a Toronto show so they were really into too many of the songs.
I took my neighbour to the show (our kids play together) and he wasn't that thrilled with 13 Binaural songs - he was more excited by the "war horses."

I'm doing my best not to "song hunt" but I have never witnessed STBC (or Why Go) and haven't heard Animal, Jeremy, Hail Hail, and YLB (!) since 1998 so I wouldn't mind getting these often-played songs tomorrow.
We'll see....unless its Vitalogy (or Ten or Vs, of course) I hope they don't play another full album tomorrow.

Night 2 will perfectly compliment night one just like philly. Philly 1 was filled with rarities and night 2 brought the house down. Same with Toronto I'm sure.

It'll be great, regardless but man, am I glad I get an evening off. I know I have a little more than a decade on you Nick but I can't fathom how you did four shows in five nights. Heck, I shouldn't use my age as an excuse since Ed has done the same in the past if I recall correctly.
