Holy f*ck balls. I need a drink.

So with all the love Jon showed for that song, I'm really wondering he never tried it out.

In 2011, if I remember correctly, they opened one show in Denmark with Cpt Crash. I guess it had something to do with Jon’s knee injury during the previous show in Finland. He was more or less immobile, so it obviously affected the setlist to a certain degree.

Nah it was the "Dusseldorf aftermath" (i.e. shitty setlist choices) in Zurich. His knee was fine at that point.

Ok, sorry, my bad
Saw them three times that summer, I was very lucky to get great setlists.

Three out of four times that summer, I had the same experience. And then there was Dusseldorf inbetween

I guess that summer was the last time we got to see them the way I’d always like to remember them. The next tour changed it all. No Richie and Jon’s escalating voice problems.

So the last time I saw them on the top of their game was Vienna 2011. That’s when it started to go downhill.

Sorry to ask, but what was the Dusseldorf incident?
