    Yes, always pick a new one! :lol:

    I can't wait until I can pick a new one :D

    With that being said I saw several of my must sees this tour (All those Yesterdays, Oceans, Dissident, Comeback)

    for sure you pick a new one!

    Can't wait for next tour so I hopefully knock another one or two out. I got probably 3 of my top 5 at the Phoenix show this time around.

    Phoenix would have killed my white whale... but I was hesitant to ask for time off work and visit a friend who lives out there :fp:

    It was Animal since my first show in 2006. Caught in now in Philly... the 12th show or something...

    Now I guess it's Can't Keep (not counting getting it on Eddie solo shows) or Tremor Christ.

    I would consider some of the picks in this thread to be more "holy grail"-ish than "white whale"-ish.

    A song like "Strangest Tribe" or "Black, Red, Yellow" aren't really songs you'll miss, or almost get, should have gotten, or could get that you love but keep on missing. They are songs that aren't even played to begin with... Sort of...

    The album songs that I'm still chasing are: Oceans, Sometimes, Red Mosquito, All Those Yesterdays, All or None, Bushleaguer, Ghost, My Father's Son, Swallowed Whole and Sleeping By Myself. Once I knock all of the album songs off, I'll worry about Lost Dogs.

    The most common song that I haven't heard is Long Road.

    Bushleaguer, .

    Good luck with that one :)

    Was really surprised that we got in in London, 2007. Felt like that song was "over with" from a band standpoint even then. Eddie did not don the GW mask though. I really dig it though, to bad the verses are a bit set in a specific time compared to the timeless and godly chorus.

    The only way it comes back if another Bush runs for presidential office or makes headlines for a wrong reason. I don't expect to hear it.

    It was alone and I got it on lucky #48 in London

    I said I'd retire after that. So maybe I'll not have a whale anymore, I waited 18 years of shows for that one

    Haha, Alone/Sad at the same show (haven't gotten anyone of them yet but I think Sad was soundchecked in Philly and Alone was soundchecked in Verona 2006) is sort of a white whale for me. Always felt they belonged together, I think it was the 2005 tour that did it. Seemed they liked dragging them out as a pair!

    If I had to pick one I imagine I will be chasing Bushleaguer for the rest of time and I really like that song, the chorus is beautiful, I agree with subject matter of the rest of the song and I don't think it applies just to Dubba I mean Harper fits the bill just as nicely.
    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.

    They sound-checked it in Baltimore so you never know...

    FATAL.....

    In 2006 I was choosing between Marseille and Prague... No regrets about Prague as setlist was amazing...(MFC as OPENER and a lot of rarities in the set) but I mean...Fatal is really rare!!!

    That's like me just a few months ago. Chose Hartford over Baltimore, Balt got my white whale. With that being said, Hartford was phenomenal.
