    2 amazing songs live

    I agree with you. These two stuck out to me all week. I can't wait to hear the boots just for these songs. And I have to say, I have a new appreciation for Rats after MSG II. I never really cared for that song but it sounded great live!

    I almost forget to mention the beautifulness that is Hard to Imagine. What a way to kick off a show that is. MSG 1 and Mansfield 1, it may have just shot up to number one as my favorite show opener. I still love Release and the rare Wash or Oceans, but if Hard to Imagine continued to open shows, I would not complain once.

    I will go with the first one that just made me go WOW......"Faithfull".....
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    Black, RVM, or Why Go in DC. Loved Low Light in VA beach.
    Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
    Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
    All five horizons revolved around her soul
    As the earth to the sun
    Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

    There were many that were amazing this time around. & While not the best by any means, my vote goes to "Cropduster" cuz it's always been a fav. of mine & was sooo not expecting them to pull that one out this tour. Awesome surprise...It was like they played it just for me. :)

    As much as I hate to admit it, I really felt Betterman was the signature song of the tour.

    Sorry, I have to list 3 in order of impact on me:

    1. Who You Are - way to brilliantly dust off this song guys! Its just beautiful to hear, and such a nice tempo switch from their straight-fwd rockers. Please keep it in the setlists on future tours!

    2. Given To Fly - a concert staple, that just seemed elevated this tour. I think they slowed it down a bit which I really appreciate. This song just really pulled the crowd in and its always a cathartic moment when the momentum builds in this one.

    3. WMA - again, I'm really happy they brought this one back. They've rearranged it beautifully and like WYA, its a great tempo change. The ending of the song is fantastic.

    One thing I found different about this tour was my appreciation for all the classic songs that on previous tours I was kinda bored with. I think its just the connection of the songs to the fans that really made me appreciate the songs that much more, namely, Betterman, Why Go, Alive and Evenflow.

    On another note, I was mildly dissapointed with All Night. This was one song I really wanted to hear, but while being a good studio song, just didn't do much for me live. I hate to say that I wouldn't be upset not hearing it live again.
