My wife and I have been fortunate enough to see all but Tremor Christ. Lots of shows over the years and now it’s how we spend our retirement, chasing our white whale.0

Breath is my white whale and it isn’t even close. Somehow, after 20+ shows, I keep missing that one. I’ve seen Present Tense, Low Light, Hard to Imagine, Red Mosquito, etc multiple times now, which seem to be on others’ lists, but can’t get one Breath. Go figure.
I’ll toss out Tremor Christ and Who You Are, too. Would love to see those, but would be satisfied with Breath.0 -

Bu$hleaguer is one of five studio tracks I have not heard live and I think my only chance is if they play the riff as a tag or in a jam. I kinda wanted Jeb to be elected for this reason alone
. Or maybe we will get Trumpleaguer with updated lyrics.

Immortality is now off my list ... so now it's Tremor Christ, Leash and BreakerfalllllllllllDiscopij said:14 shows and no Immortality ... Also dying for tremor Christ But the strangest thing is that I saw Go, Blood, Indifference in a row at my first show and I haven't heard any of them since0 -
Im actually optimistic we will get a "Trumpleaguer" modification this round... But then the question will be asked as to whether or not it counts. Who knows how the panel of supreme judges will rule on thatSVRDhand13 said:

this setlist has the best change song in encore 1 !!Glentazman said:Love Reign O'er Me
The worst or I guess funniest part is I live in Jacksonville and learned that was one of the songs they audible out. Glad the greek got Ghost that show but damn...my white whale in my home show would have been something. Hoping one of the Wrigelys this year I will finally get it.
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”0 -
I'd be counting it for myself. Other people get too worked up about this sort of stuff.MayDay10 said:

They've had a lot of trouble playing it live. Unfortunately can't match the cohesiveness of the studio version.chiwhitesox said:One more for me.

Altar I guess is also known as "Words Seem Out of Place". That actually would be amazingmarcos said:PJ_Soul wrote:Altar! ... It's almost like the song doesn't exist at all ... It's not even listed in the 10C list of songs. I have no idea why not, but I'd love to know.
I second this, love that one, but for songs that do exist that's an original PJ I need Dead Man Walking to get closer to completion if that would ever be possible.
my white whale is still "Out of my Mind"Hey nanana
ain't that somethin
