Olivavu Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Well, I shall be at Reading to see them once again...so I'm satisfied with that. Was gonna go see them two or three times when they were over, but once will have to suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowls Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I booked flights to Dublin while they're still cheap (£38 return). I was going to wait til I actually got tickets, but my friend talked me into it anyway and if I don't get tickets I can have a day out in Dublin with her. But a 8,500 capacity venue shouldnt sell out impossibly fast I hope. Especially since a lot of people will be turned off by how soon to CW it is.

Olivavu Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I considered Dublin, but seeing them at Reading will have to do I think. Shame really, cause I was hoping they'd do a couple of gigs in London in the week after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasowen Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Just looked at the setlist for the astoria gig, and am really dissapointed with the setlist. I know they chop and change it a lot, but no Black, no Once and no last kiss. Hope they play them at leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fowls Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) Astoria was a promo gig. It was really just new songs then playing whatever to fill the time, not a proper setlist. Since it was a small gig they played good songs for standing crowds. If anything a lot of americans are saying it's the best setlist they've ever seen. Kinda hard for the british to judge though as we don't get many gigs, so don't really notice the songs that aren't played very often. Apparently Leavin' Here and Why Go aren't played very often at all (even rarer for them to play Leavin' Here without Sleater Kinney). They don't play Once very often, but Black and Last Kiss have a good chance at Leeds/Reading. I wouldn't hold out for much of Ten to be played, I was amazed the astoria setlist had 4 Ten songs. But a lot of the other hits like Daughter and Not For You will probably be played at Reading. Edited April 23, 2006 by fowls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivavu Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 They've played 'Once' 248 times..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowls Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) Compared to Alive's 450 248 isn't much in 15 years. Although it was last played in December so they're still pulling it out. Last Kiss has only been played 74 times in 7 years (last time in December) and Black's been played 368 times (last in December) Edited April 23, 2006 by fowls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivavu Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Once - 248 Even Flow - 525 Alive - 450 Why Go - 220 Black - 368 Jeremy - 373 Oceans - 62 Porch - 359 Garden - 102 Deep - 170 Release - 104 It's not done that badly for live action.

Thorne1 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 they always give high reviews to every album they review though, im sure they have monkeys reviewing all the albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDeeMeR. Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I think the labels 'force' them to give high reviews in return for the freebies they hand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Anyone saying 'the setlist sucks', 'they didn't play this or that' blah blah blah has no idea how special that gig was. You really did have to be there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowls Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Apparently it was the first time they've played the original version of Why Go since 95! A very special gig indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantomas Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) It was a most brilliant gig on Thursday. Best night I've had all year, easily! I'm thinking of going to Lisbon, Madrid (tba) and Marseille after Reading. PaulJam, are you also called PaulJam on the PJ message pit?

Benj Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Here's a vid for the new song if anyone is interested. http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/002-8...832?node=507846 5.5/10 from me, 2/10 for the vid but its just a studio thing I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowls Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Theres 2 studio vids so far. Life Wasted just seems to be a life studio thing, but WWS seems to be a proper videos (studio footage + some guy dancing with a ball). Pearl Jam hate videos so videos of them playing is all they really do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
