Most surprising song to fall off from being a staple?

Why Go was not played much for over 10 years but came back hard in 2006.

World Wide Sucicide I thought would survive and be a staple after the Avocado tours. But it seems to have vanished. Great song. The first single of the record. Works great live.

The Fixer too. Played alot during the Backspacer tour, being somewhat of a radio hit(?) but now pretty much gone.

    Insignificance. Played 170x prior to this tour, most of any post Yield song except Save You. But only 1x this tour. It's also shocking they have not played WWS on this tour.

    Yeah, Insignificance.
    Killer song, great staple, never gets played any more.

    Maybe it was never a staple, but I was psyched to hear it at Fenway 2 as I hadn't heard it in 8 shows.

    It's by far their best song since Riot Act. Obviously my opinion.

    I understand the general audience likes it but man it is not nearly as good as the other staples they play every night. If I'm in a spot where it is easy to come and go from at a show, I'm out getting a drink as soon as I see the 12 string come out.

    I also think present tense should be a live staple. That song is one of their best!

    Yeah..... I did that at Fenway 2. Then missed Tom Hamilton playing bass for Draw the Line.

    I'm regretting that decision.

    Agree with this. Saw 16 shows on the 2000 tour and the songs were great live. Grievance, Insignificance, Breakerfall I thought would be staples beyond this tour.
