    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


    DC May 06
    VA Beach June 08

    impossible to nail down just one...each show i attended was special...namely because of the people I was with and the constant singalong aspect of it all.
    my feeling too. standouts for me were love reign o'er me at MSG, rats, smile (FINALLY fucking got that song!), in hiding, faithfull, WMA and can't keep (see, i can't pick just one :o lol)

    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. :)

    Of he fills it up, with the love, of a girl...

    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.

    Hard to Imagine: based on it's new-found opening slot and number of times played.

    My standards are Betterman (for the audience singing...that just gets me) and DTE.

    Otherwise, I was very pleased to hear WMA
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    1.WMA
    2.All Night
    3.Love Reign O'er Me
    4.DTE never gets old especialy at the Garden. Intense
    5. I realy loved Come Back at Mansfield 1. First time I heard it live, kept thinking about my father the whole time. Did a pretty good job of not crying in public though I realy wanted to. Love Reign was also an emotional one. It was his favorite Who song

    Guaranteed - in VA Beach - hands down...just beautiful

    although I would have given anything to have heard Wash @ Mansfield 2..
    ...there's a cloud but the Water remains calm
