    People don't seem to understand what a "white whale" is on here, it's not the same as "wanting to see a rare song played".

    I would love to hear Inside Job and Wash.

    Also, please bring back Fuckin Up.

    Wash would be amazing. Especially an Oceans/Release/Wash run. I'd be a puddle.

    It was always a joke at shows until it became possible.

    I loved the guitar version from the amsterdam (?) show.

    Now that I got Sonic Reducer, I think it's the songs from the first 5 albums I haven't gotten yet (excluding the highly creative but unusual tracks):

    Who You Are
    All Those Yesterdays
    Love Reign Oe'r Me (not on one of those albums, but still).

    I've pretty much heard all of ten, vs., the playable tracks on Vitalogy. I think I've seen most (all?) of the b-sides from that era played live. Most of the playable tracks from Yield/No Code (and their b-sides). Those two plus the cover would be top of my list now. None of which seem to irritate me as much as not seeing Sonic Reducer did for so long.. lol. Around the Bend would be cool too, but I did see Eddie solo that one, so it doesn't seem as pressing to me. I guess I lean towards some of the older songs because i've been listening to them for longer, which means I've gone that many more years without hearing it live. If it were something new, it did bug me I didn't get to hear Swallowed Whole live on any shows since the Lightning Bolt tour started :(

    After the Wrigley shows I feel I've now see a very wide swath of the catalog and most of my favorites. Only took me 25 shows to get that feeling.. lol.

    Haha it took me 25 shows to feel this way too. Of the Earth is certainly my #1 must see now and there isn't a close second.

    It used to be Wash, got it Mansfield 6/30/2008.

    Now I would say "No Way". It would complete Yield live for me.

    How can Fatal be a white whale when it's "never" played. How close have you been to getting it but missed out?

    Maybe it's me who has misinterpreted what a White Whale is, but by that "sketchy" metric any song ever could be a white whale...

    A song you want to hear = a good song

    A song you reeeeallly want to hear = holy grail

    A song you reallllyyyy want to hear but you keep on almost getting but it's almost like fate itself keeps you from it = a white whale

    ... or maybe I'm wrong.

    That makes sense. At this point I don't have a white whale than using those standards.

    I always took it as a song that you have been chasing for a long time and are dying to see it. Doesn't matter the rarity really.

    I've been lucky with my shows but still chasing Come Back. 16 shows and I have yet to hear it. Even better it's been crossed off the set list at two of my shows. :bawling:
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
