White Whale Tour Requests

[dookie shoot bandit]

I understand the festival and new album tour responsibilities. And that they are trying to gain new fans and play the new album in it's pretty much entirety.... But after all these years they have to know that most of us are traveling to different states just for them on their tour.
How great would it be to get "1" rare song at each venue. Play the music that everyone wants to hear and we all love, play the monster new album, and give us 1 Gem a night, that leaves us walking back to the car saying "I fucking can't believe they played _____!!"
During the Spontaneous Curation Series I was finally able to witness Into the Woods, and I remember that show just being that much better that they played that.
On this tour my White Whales are:
- By My Car
- Oxen
- Friends Again

Can't wait for the release of the new album and the tour to get Rollin!!!

While those three are probably my exact 3 gem requests (though I've seen FA a couple times), I remember the circuital tour when they played  ONE gem every night. and that tour was hard to sit through after 2 or 3 shows.

My white whale remains...chills and into the woods.  I've seen friends again and by my car.  Oxen would be nice too!

[slappymoe]

not really a rarity, but considering the number of shows i've seen, it's hard to believe i've never caught "i will sing you songs" live. not counting on hearing it at forecastle, but i sure hope it's included in the 2 nights in atlanta.

I've only been to two shows - both on the Circuital tour - so there are many commonly played songs that are on my list.

Going to the Detroit shows, if I could pick 5 guaranteed songs, they'd be...

Phone Went West
Cobra
Carried Away
At Dawn
Sooner

[manonthemoon]

Remnants is the one that jumps out at me that I haven't seen, besides a few covers, but given that Jim says it kills his voice I don't think it will make it onto a setlist anytime soon.

I'm sorry but can someone please explain to me what "oxen" is. Is it another name for How Could I Know

i'm 100% okay with remnants being retired at this point.  with the way jim was sounding by the end of OBH2, i don't need to hear stuff that puts EXTRA strain on his voice.

Rollin' Back

Weeks Go By Like Days
