Streetchild Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I could have gone to the Nijmegen show with some friends. But I'm not really a fan of PJ, and there are some other concerts/festivals that I would rather go to. So I'm not going.But have fun man, I hope you'll have a great night .

JimBobJoeJackJr Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I've seen PJ 3 times over the years going all the way back to the Ten album. You're gonna have a blast. Eddie usually gets a good bottle of wine going. Definitely in my Top 5 bands to see live.Get ready to rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JONEZY Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I saw them in 1998. I think it was the tour for "Yield". Great show. Eddie interacts with the crowd a little bit, but its mostly about the music. No pyro, which is fine but I always like a few explosions, JMO. In 98, Eddie wore a St. Louis Cardinal's baseball helmet because Mark McGuire was hitting a lot of home runs that year. The encore was "Why do I keep fucking up?" by Neil Young.Have a good time Spoon, they are a great band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I saw the guys back in May of last year, and it was one of the finest shows I've ever seen. They did a full hour n a half set complete with classics like Do The Evolution, Lukin, Why Go, Betterman (Eddie didn't even try to sing the first verse, just let the crowd sing - fuckin' goosebumps just thinking about it), Animal, Whipping, Evenflow, and Insignificance, as well as the best tunes from the new album: Severed Hand, Worldwide Suicide, Gone, etc. The 20 min. first encore started slow (Man of the Hour, Footsteps), but quickly jumped back to grunge rockers from Ten with Once and Alive. The second encore was about 40 minutes long (if not longer) and comprised of: Last Kiss, Last Exit, Glorified G, Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town, Crown of Thorns, Keep On Rockin' In The Free World, and Yellow Ledbetter. It brought the f'ing house down.Here's one of the shows highlights:http://youtube.com/watch?v=dRS-L-AAqlY&...ted&search= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocoma13 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Not a fan--but--they are headlining Lollapalooza this year in Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appetite 4 Axl Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm not a fan but my boss loves 'em. He's seen em over a dozen times including the first time they play lollapalooza. He said they're incredible live and that if I saw them I'd change my mind about them, ha so I guess they give a good show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I remember reading that they played like 50 different songs on one of their last tours. Now thats really mixing it up each night. Gotta admire that.Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta admire that.MontyThey mix it all up. It's great. The only sure songs are Do The Evolution and Alive, and those aren't even set in stone. It's phenominal genuinely having no idea what song is next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I saw them late last year and it was one of the greatest nights of my life. This is a band that knows how to treat their fans.... truly amazing concert. They put their shows up for download on their website afterwards, perfectly mixed - it's like a live album of the concert. Anyone here who has already been to a PJ concert and could tell me how a concert by 'em is?Do they have standard-songs in their setlist?Do they interact with the audience?Just tell me everything!Standard songs? It depends... they mix it up a lot. You're guaranteed to get hits - but some nights they play a lot more of them than others. They chop and change the setlist constantly, so they never play the same show twice... as a result, the energy level on stage is amazing - they don't get bored with the shows they're playing.Interaction with the audience is a highlight of the shows. Honestly, my only regret about the show was not going to see them the next night as well. Eddie is in fantastic shape and McCready doesn't miss a beat. The songs are often played reall differently to what they sound like on the album too... makes the live show worth shelling out for.Anyway - 60 Euros is nothing for a concert of this standard. They're one of the best bands in the world today and their shows reflect that. You'll have a great time!PS - They shat all over the Crue show I saw in the same venue.
