One Big Holiday has had the duty for the entirety of the last tour, perhaps it's time to give another one a try? Not to take anything away from it as closer, but there's something awesome about hearing it come out of nowhere during the main set.

My candidates:

Gideon (works great with the new extended ending)
Steam Engine (always a good choice)
Mahgeetah (remember when this was always the closer? brought down the house as well)
Phone Went West (a highlight at every show)

What would you like to see?
In another time, in another place, in another face

Always love it when PJ close with a mellow number like Indifference. So in keeping with that maybe One In The Same?
At my house, we call them uh-ohs.

They closed the show at the 40 Watt in '05 with It's About Twilight Now and it rocked. It was the perfect ending for a rocking show and the perfect song for them to leave it all on stage. Actually, it was one of the greatest shows I have ever seen.

It's About Twilight Now, final answer.

Somewhere a year or two there was a thread about this.   While openers are all over the map, the closing encore song seems to remain the same for long stretches.


2003:  Phone Went West
2004:  Run Thru
2005:  Mahgeetah
2006:  Anytime
2007:  Anytime
2008:  One Big Holiday
2009:  One Big Holiday
2010:  One Big Holiday
2011:  One Big Holiday

So yes, maybe time for a change?    Steam Engine or Lay Low would be my vote

Maybe there's something from the new album they've got in mind, which is why they haven't switched yet.   The band doesn't seem afraid to use new songs (run thru, anytime)

The Dark -- completely agree and echo that OBH is amazing but need some variety. 

Would love to see (considering only MMJ tracks...covers excluded)

Gideon
Anytime
Lowdown (upbeat version)
Off The Record (with extended & upbeat close)

Are talking about set closer or show closer? Wasn't there a time when They Ran was the set closer, possibly 2006-2007? If not the last song, it was close to the end. I thought it wouldn't work but it has a loungey, bring down the house vibe which could be a good lead in to a rockin encore.

My personal preference is for the band to leave the stage after a rockin the house down but also enjoyed a Steam Engine walkoff a la Okonokos.

Check out Mahgeeta from that 40 Watt show. From about 3:20 till the end was probably the most "everyone in the club and everyone on stage experiencing the same sheer bliss" moment I have ever had at any show ever. The whole joint was a heaving, hot, sweaty, jukin', jivin', screaming, grinding, heaving oneness.

Magic!  :)

I would kill for them to close with A Quick One but I know that'll never happen.  I'll settle for Fetcher's Lament.

I was really digging OBH as the opener last spring, since they were closing with PHJB doing covers (Carnival Time, Move On Up).  PWW is a great way to go, Run Thru or Lay Low, Mahgeetah or Dancefloors would work.  Something epic and rockin'.  We shall see.

Me too john. 8)

It reminded me of the couple of times back in the day I saw Bruce open with Born To Run!

It was like BAM, right out of the shoot, in your face. Like they were saying "You better be ready to rock your ass off, cause we sure are".
"Where's Jim going?"

Run Thru.  My head normally explodes during it, so the rest of the show is pretty much shot for me anyways.
