I haven't either! She handles that pretty well eh?

Interesting that this appears to be a video that hasn't surfaced as a boot, to my knowledge. :question:

Actually, it has circulated:
http://db.etree.org/lookup_show.php?sho ... users=true

I have it as a DVD with both 2001-06-12 and 2001-06-11. We may have traded this around in the past. I can't remember who I got it from. PJ was supporting U2 both nights in Philadephia's First Union Center. As I recall, the quality isn't the best, but the shoe incident is most certainly memorable. Here's what I wrote down as my notes for it:

2. 2001-06-12, - FIRST UNION CENTER (WITH U2) - PHILADELPHIA, PA, U.S.A.

01 One Line
02 The Sky Lit Up
03 The Whores Hustle & The Hustlers Whore
04 Man-size
05 C’mon Billy
06 This Wicked Tongue
07 Big Exit
08 30
09 66 Promises
10 This Is Love
11 Somebody’s Down Somebody’s Name

The shiny black microskirt (and "see thru" top). Track 1 partial. Polly breaks her shoe's heel during This Wicked Tongue.
Performs the rest of the gig barefoot! Polly actually bows to the audience (and says thanks for listening).

Those U2 support gigs are the only ones in which I recall seeing her actually take a bow to the audience. It seems she was trying extra hard for the impatient U2 fans.

Also, in many (most?) gigs in this era and earlier she never says a word as she leaves the stage, just a wave.

in Rome 2004 she broke her boot. It was very fun. Too bad there's no video for it, only audio.

The Rome 2004 you mentioned, where there's only audio and no video.
