Encore 2:

Wanted Dead or Alive
Twist and Shout

I'd kill for the 2000 set... Even though Twist & Shout is far from my favorite cover BJ has performed through the years, I'd sure as hell take it over the more-than-predictable Wanted/Prayer encore (which, by the way, has been standard in the USA since the LH tour at least - here I am, waiting for the 10th anniversary of that f***ing snoozefest).

After a few warm-up shows after the 8-day break, I think it's finally time for Always tonight. It doesn't matter if Jon can't sing it properly - even the shittiest possible (electric) version of the song is better than no Always at all (or, even worse, the TLFR version for that matter). However, if his voice isn't up for it, I'm more than certain that he'll kick off the encore with the good ol' Who Says...

Also, I'd be extremely happy if the guys played I Love This Town tonight... oh, wait - I've got something even better: SUMMERTIME! And Jon's all-time favorite, Captain Crap & The Booty Queen Of Marshmallows, will be played of course.

Honestly, I think the acoustic version of Santa Fe would be epic even with Jon's current voice. He dodged the high notes on that song on the Circle/GH tour as well, so how could it possibly sound that different from the two versions back then (London '10 and Barcelona '11)?

PS. Jon... Jon... GODDAMNIT, JON!!! Where's my Fingerprints, with an epic duel solo by both Shanks and Phil X?????

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW??????????

I know someone who went to that 2003 show and said it was epic. I'd love to see something like that.

I'd like to know that, too ;]

I was supposed to have that half electric, half acoustic in Hartford, Connecticut in 2003. It was announced officially and then they changed their mind. The Hartford show was enjoyable - they played most of New Jersey, but I always felt like I missed out on that acoustic show. :(

I'd totally kill for any one of those set lists now!

Yeah we all would.

Weren't most of the summer shows in '03 supposed to be half acoustic and half electric at the smaller venues? I feel like I remember it being announced saying and looking forward to seeing that in Saratoga at SPAC and then it was scrapped. I remember someplace got Diamond Ring acoustic that year, maybe Milwaukee?

I don't find anything too spectacularly different or better about the 2000 set list. I saw 9 of the same songs last week. Personally, I love the new album so I enjoy the new songs. I'm far more bored by Born to Be My Baby or Bad Medicine than I am by Whole Lot of Leaving or Lost Highway. I've been on this board a long time and I don't remember a time ever when posters weren't complaining about the set lists and thinking they could do better.

Agreed. I hate the setlists right now but 'Lost Highway' is in my top ten favourites and I love 'Whole Lot of Leavin', whereas 'Born to Be My Baby', 'Sleep When I'm Dead', 'Bad Medicine' etc. could all be swapped for other fan favourites.
