Gonna bump this thread now.
So, PJ have announced the European tour and I'm happy they're comming to Amsterdam in June 16, really looking forward to the show!
There's only one problem. I'm only starting my journey as the fan of this band and I have 6 months to become a real fan in order to fully prepare for a show, that I have very high expectations for. Right now for me PJ is at the level where Bruce Springsteen was 3-4 years ago, which means, I hear all the hype, and I'm aware how good they are and their live performances, setlists, energy, etc., but I'm yet to actually become a fan of most of their material. So I need your help to become a fan
I'm already listening and really liking the Lightning Bolt album, also have listened to Ten a few times, but what else? Sure, I'm gonna check all the hits of the compilations (like the Rearviewmirror compilation), but I need more advice. Which live concert shall I watch? Because it seems like they have released quite a few of them. Shall I watch any documentaries of them? I saw there's one called Twenty - is that good? Also, any YouTube videos of their best performances from a dedicated fan to someone like me (and my buddy) would be very appreciated.
Also, what about sign requests? Is there a point in making one of these before seeing them? Currently, my favorite songs of theirs are Yellow Ledbetter and Last Kiss. The former is played quite frequently, while the later is only performed on occasions, so I'm thinking of making a sign asking for that song. Is this likely to increase my chances or are they just not one of those bands that play songs of signs? It would make sense if they do, considering how much they change their sets on a regular basis.
Lastly, the Amsterdam show is the opening of the European leg. Is this a good sign or a bad one? Cause some artists/bands tend to make their first show special, whereas our beloved Jon usually treats them like a warm-ups. Or does PJ simply deliver every time and I should not worry about that?
I really hope this board has enough PJ diehards to help me out, thanks!
