Severed Hand, World Wide Suicide, Life Wasted: The SH intro looped while the band got their instruments and stuff ready. Once the music started it was balls to the wall. The lasers on SH are a bit much for PJ I think, but damn if this song doesn't get you moving. I said YEAAAAAAH! The lighting on WWS is awesome.
Animal: Always a great track to get the crowd into a show, and with the crowd already well into it, this was icing. Hands in the air all around, counting off those numbers. Amazing to watch.
Marker In The Sand: The first song from the new record not played the night before and it was great. I love the guitar playing on this track and live it was even better. These new songs are getting over very well in the arenas I think.
Do The Evolution, Whipping: And the band just keep on rocking. What an amazing start to the show. Evolution burned- Eddies vocals were insane. Admire Stone! And Whipping!
1/2 Full, I Am Mine: Yay, some Riot Act love! I'll take Half Full at any show. On the record it's an OK track, but live it is awesome. Ed makes do without the mirror and uses his guitar to reflect the light around and around.
Even Flow: Like the night before my goal was to make it back before Mike's solo. And like the night before, I missed it by about 15 seconds, even though I was a bit farther away from the bathrooms. Tonights solo was all over the place. Mike is god.
Gone: Meh. I'll be fine if this is the only airing I ever hear of it. Just doesn't do anything for me and one song too many in the PJ catalog involving a car.
Insignificance: Finally some Binaural. Ed sings the middle section this time around too- they seemed to have been ignoring that part recently. The best version of this song I've heard. Usually it gets a bit sloppy but it didn't seem that way this time.
Better Man, Save It For Later: I had always hoped to hear a SIFL tag on Betterman and was disappointed when the song ended as usual. And then something strange happened. All of the sudden Ed starts playing the chord progession. Then he turned around and walked up to the mic and started strumming and singing all by his lonesome, "Two dozen other dirty lovers..." Slowly, but not very surely, the rest of the band join in. I go nuts. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Down: Flippin' sweet, that. Fan clubbers loved this one from the looks of it.
Garden: I think the heavy intro isn't working for me. Something about this performance seemed a bit off, too. Crowd around me loved it, though, and we sang it loud.
Inside Job: So glad I got to hear it here. Seeing Mike play a double necked guitar was quite the treat. For those wondering about the piano- Boom plays it. It's a beautiful song, but I was actually a little disappointed in the live version. Just didn't have the same feeling to the album one and seems clear they're still adjusting to playing it.
Lukin, Why Go: Lukin almost seemed an off-the-cuff, unplanned performance. And it also seemed Ed had something else in mind before Why Go as he grabbed his guitar but put it back when Matt started the intro. Hearing Why Go was phenomenal. One of my first favorite PJ songs that I am glad has been resurrected. I looooooove that bass.
1st Encore: Wasted Reprise: Boooooooooooooooooom! My friend asked me after the show why everyone was booing.
Man Of The Hour: The third of a whopping 7 songs I'd yet to hear at a PJ show. To say this band isn't amazing is blasphemy. I'm playing this song at my funeral.
Footsteps, Once, Alive: Unfuckingbelievable. And, strangely, it didn't occur to me that this was reverse Mamasan until I read the RM board after I got back. I told my friend the show would be special, and after Once, I said 'I told you so'. And it wasn't over yet! Wow! Just wow!
2nd Encore: Last Kiss: Ed is at the soundboard for this one and his earpiece must've been delayed because he was a half step behind. His mic kept cutting out, too. I'll be surprised if they keep this on the boot. A nice try, but technology can be a bitch sometimes.
Last Exit, Glorified G: GLOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRIFIED! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! That's okay cuz I'm vice pres!
Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town: The most I've seen a crowd into this song, ever. I'm tired of this song, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't awesome this evening.
Crown Of Thorns: I nearly cried. I NEVER thought I would hear this. Never. Ed says they bring this one out on special occasions. I nudged my buddy and said, again, 'I told you so'. Amazing on so many levels.
Rockin' In The Free World, Yellow Ledbetter: After CoT, I was stoked, even for these staples. I sang every word. Air-strummed every note. Pearl Jam did no wrong tonight, and continued to amaze me in ways I'd thought would not be possible.
