GTF is one of my very favorite PJ songs and they've played it at almost every show I've been to but the last few shows I've felt like it doesn't hit quite like it should. But man. With Ed practically seething at the beginning and having whipped the crowd up before exploding into it, it was really something. The energy was as if they were playing GTF but channeling Leash. It was unreal. The whole song hit differently The lyrics felt different. It wasn't about escape or transcendence, it was about a person defiantly rising back up, middle fingers to the world. Which in some ways I guess is part of what it's always been. There was just so much rage in this one. It was so powerful it might affect how I view the song forever. Easily the highlight of the night.

1000% this

Well said and totally agree on all of it.
