Why do they only play certain songs from LB?

They have not played Getaway, My Father's Son and SBM live yet. The first two are my favourites on the album. In fact My Father's Son is my outright favourite on LB.

I don't buy the fact that it is too heavy for Ed to sing. I mean really! And Blood, DTE and RVM are easier to sing? I would have loved to have heard live tracks 1&3 from LB.

Is it because they have not rehearsed them enough?

Your thoughts?

    There is a theory floating around the forum that Getaway is being saved for a debut on Fallon at the end of the week. I'm hoping they bust it out in Hartford, but I'm not sure if they would because it might be too close to the Fallon performance.

    No clue about My Father's Son.

    It is possible that they are saving something for Leg 2.

    I heard one of the guys (I think Ed?) say in the Town Hall that the next challenge was to figure out how to make the songs work live. Makes me think that some of them are easier to arrange than others. Just a theory. I haven't listened to the album enough to know what the specific live performance challenges would be on each song. Or maybe he was joking . . .
