    Oceans would be excellent! Hopefully Brother will also be played in the city of brotherly love.

    Agreed!

    Oceans, Brother, and No way.... my top 3 requests, assuming they will play backspacer in it's entirety over 4 nights!

    Seriously?

    They do seem to play it more often in California. They just played it in San Diego in 2006! Also in 1995 and 1993. It would kill me if they pulled it out 1 show before Philly, unless of course they play every song from this tour over 4 nights in Philly.... then everyone wins!

    Hopefully they don't bust Oceans out in San Diego, 1 show before Philly! They heard it in 2006.

    Philly is next on the tour, and Oceans has not been played yet! They way they keep on playing new songs, I am really hoping the bust this song out!

    I personally hope this is the only other song they dust off for Philly. If they bring back something like "evacuation", that just fills a setlist spot for something they have already played like "No Way" that I am sure a lot of us want to hear! Plus since it is an opener, it won't impact the rest of the set, it will just be replacing another opener, or a non-opener like "last exit" that gets played first.

    Im still waiting to hear Off He Goes and Long Road after 10 shows...the its ok tag was on the setlist at East Rutherford 2 in '06 but it never got played....such a disappointment

    35 shows with no Oceans
    36 After Toronto
    40 if they don't play it in Philly

    Pennsylvania has been devoid of Oceans for 17 years. It is never played anywhere near PA.

    that still blows my mind that it hasnt been played there in 17 yrs...i wonder if the boys know that?

    Just looking over the list of times this song has been played. They have played it in North America EVERY year they have toured. Please guys, don't forget to play it before you leave the continent! Philly has been waiting 17.5 years! Bust it out on 10/27 and set the tone for the 4 shows!

    Is that just a gut feel? Everything I get a feeling that Philly is in for something special, we get the standard 2 night Camden greatest hits shows. I think the last time I didn't get my hopes up was Wachovia 2005. I'm actually one of the lucky few who have heard ATY once already! But bring on Oceans, No Way, Brother, and the entire new album!

    if you get Oceans, you are lucky as hell. I've been in this fan club for 15 years, I've been to over/around 45 shows, and I haven't gotten it. That song is like my white whale. Best of luck to you.

    Wow, I can't believe it can get worse! If they don't play it in Philly, I will be at 40 shows! I assume you won't be making the journey to Philly? The song is way overdue, It has been either soundchecked or on a setlist, according to another thread. Plus they always play the song in North America at least once on every tour. If they don't play it in Philly, 2009 will be the first time it wasn't played on tour in North America. Plus they have just been busting out song after song this tour.... Oceans is overdue!

    Any other songs eluding you after 45 shows? Other than Oceans, I have a couple "lost dogs" (Black Red Yellow, Fatal, Brother, Undone, Education) that i haven't heard, and a few real rarities off of Yield (No Way, Pilate, Push me Pull me). I would be a happy man if after Philly, I had heard all of backspacer, and the only songs left on my wishlist were: Black Red Yellow, Fatal, Undone, Education, Pilate, Push me Pull me. I think that is truly possible given the set lists they have been playing.

    Think pretty much everywhere hasn't heard that song since early 90s, if at all.

    Ironically enough, it's been played more often since the early 90s. Breaking the 90s into early (90,91,92), Mid (93,94,95,96), and late (97,98,99). So they have played it 34 times since 1993, out of 66 total times. Granted the probability of hearing it in the early 90s was much higher!

    My vote is for Brother and No Way, but of course Oceans is a great opener. I think i've seen them do it 3 times
    "All I Ever Knew" available now in print and digital formats at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks.

    I'm with you! They are my top 3 songs too! How many shows have you been to that you have caught Oceans that many times? I'd be happy with just once!
