Of the ones that they play at every or almost every show, I would have to say Evolution. Of the ones that they don't, I wouldn't mind listening to Smile, Unthought Known and/or In Hiding for hours and hours straight.

My first thought when i saw this thread title was 'Crazy Mary'. It's just such a strong, communal singalong kind of song. Everybody loves Crazy Mary, right?!?
But if we're talking PJ originals, my vote goes to 'Go'.

I have to agree with the many that already said DTE...I feel like it should be played every show, it just gets everyone rocking and is fun to sing, but I also think that Severed Hand and Why Go should not be left off most setlists.
Pretty sure they've played Corduroy at every show I've been to and love it when it comes up on a boot. Was listening to the Second night at Wembley '96 and while Ed's voice is painful in places, the end of that version of Corduroy is pretty damn magical! They've certainly improved the 'bounce' of the start since then, but have not (from what I've heard) managed to end it as well as that show. Happy to be proved wrong
Do The Evolution and Black have been amazing at all three shows I've been to, I don't think I'd ever get tired of hearing those. State Of Love And Trust was also immense at the last 2, I'd gladly hear that at every future show.
And I planted my bolo knife in the neck of mad John Finn. I took his wretched life.
Now I'm over near the bandstand, every hand moving on John Finn's wife...
Mine is Black, think it is the greatest song in Rock n Roll history. I will buy a boot just because Black is on it.
The other song I love to hear the most is Given To Fly.

... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

.....and lucky me, I got it both in London ´09 and Berlin ´10
I love it when those opening riffs start and the whole crowd just explodes with a big "WHOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!"
plus DTE too
Another that I've been listening to daily since Boston is "Sad." But for pure energy in a live show, I'd go with the former.
Oh man, you would have loved the 9/26/09 Portland show - they played all four!
Anyway, I just want to see them play OCEANS just one time live.

ALIVE. how couldn't that NOT be mentioned?!?
I will never get sick of Alive, or Evenflow for that matter. But if I had to pick another song it would have to be Animal.
