Yeah, I was at that MSG show in 2003 as well, and of the probably around thirty shows I've seen, that version of Get Right wouldn't even cross my mind when thinking about songs that instantly fell flat at a show.

Team, I need some good reasons why PJ should bring this one back to the stage for one show. If they could be related to Milwaukee or Wisconsin that would be a plus.

Because it's fucking awesome for starters. It's got good energy. Tell them Ruddo wants it played too.

They can't do certain song justice if they only play them once. This would be one.

I would love to hear this in Memphis. Instead I'm sure we'll hear anything and everything related to the WM3

Always liked this one a lot. The lyrics are by no means the best in PJ's catalogue, but I can't understand the near universal hate for this one amongst the fanbase.

I always thought it was a decent, middle of the road rocker. Nothing special but not bad by any means.
That MSG is my only in person performance too.

The key to this song is the bassline which never seems to be prominent enough in any version, which is probably why most people find it boring with the guitars just chugging away in the front of the mix.

So how do we relate Get Right to Milwaukee/Wisconsin?

That's a start. Thing is... I can't tell what the song is about, so I don't know how to create a narrative.
