I'm so happy when I get either Baba O'Riley or Fuckin' Up in its stead.

Keep your homespun aussie euphemisms to yourself, its just a cover. PJ should stop thinking its their song!

I'm pretty happy for them to keep rolling any of those three out at the end of the night.

(Fuckin' Up is obviously the best, though - also the only one of the three I haven't heard at a show yet.)

Some guy Ed saw dancing at the back so he brought him on-stage, I think.

Chicago 09 (08?) version is an absolute abortion but stone absolutely destroys the solo at the end. So amazing.

I dunno, I guess when I go and see a band I'd prefer it if they played their own songs. Especially when the covers aren't that different from the originals

Halfway through the song, the man finally made it to the stage and danced alongside the band as it extended the song to maximize the moment.

Covers are neat surprises, or should be. Hearing PJ playing the same ones over and over is :roll:

There's been a dude with a VERY bright yellow shirt with a lightning bolt on it at most of the shows this tour. It was only a matter of time before he got acknowledged.

Okay so what Jeff not in the band anymore. I really think it would be weird if they replaced him in fact it would be better if they just went along without him. They could put a stand up bass in his corner with a flame paint job. What would the set list look like with no bass player.
