Who wants to hear "Education" live?

I noticed they soundchecked "Education" recently. This is one of my favs from the Lost Dogs compliation. The lyrics are especially intriguing. Matt has a nice drum intro, and the solo at the end. If I could only wish they play it.

I'm questioning my education
Is my education who I am now?
While you're deciding, I've been finding
Looking around in the here and now.
If I've been taught from the beginning
Would my fears now by winning?

I'm questioning my own equation
Is my own equation relevant somehow?
The flags are waving, the news is breaking
See the man who can't pick out his own tie
If I've been taught from the beginning
Would my fears now be winning?
A wild world, figuring out the answers
I'll be in my own dance and I, I, yeah, I, I....
I'm questioning my education
Rewind and what does it show?
Could be, the truth it becomes you
I'm a seed, wondering why it grows

    I for one, would LOVE to hear this one live. I am in agreement on this being one of the best from Lost Dogs. So much so, that last year in one of my graphic design projects (for college) I used the lyrics of it, plus a newspaper article about school reform.

    If I can find my files, I will post it later for everyone to check out...

    Did they? If they did, Noooooooooo!!!! That's one I've always wanted to hear too, and its too late for me.... (unless they break it out in Hawaii, and I get to go.....) I'd LOVE to hear it live.

    According to TheSkyIScrape, they soundchecked it at the Vegas show.

    Just listened to the studio version, there is background vocals. Perfect for Matt, man this song has "Play me live" written all over it. Damn.

  • I would have died if they'd pulled that out in Vegas.

    I might die anyway if they start playing it even if I'm not at the show.

    It's a great song.
    I kinda forgot about this little gem.
    As we've already heard, Matt could do great backup singing.
    I vote 'yes'.

    I would love to hear Education. I thought it'd work really well as a Daughter tag moving from Daughter to ABitWptII

    Maybe they will play this song in a place where the school system is poor? Ed finds ways to tie songs into current events. San Fran? I'm surprised they haven't played it, usually if they soundcheck something, it gets played within 3-4 shows most of the time.
