Thumbing My Way is easily the best song musically and lyrically. Sadly it's just a little too slow for Joe Pearl Jam Fan and I understand it- even though they're wrong.
Jeez....just because someone prefers the three Riot Act singles to TMW they've become a "Joe?"

Definitely not what I was getting at. Just saying that TMW is too slow for most. And I get that. Nothing wrong with preferring rockers. I just think lyrically and musically, this is one very underrated song. As far as Ed songs go, it's right up there with Sad as the best of post Vitalogy songs.

Fair enough (hand shake). For what it's worth, I think it's a great tune for those acoustic sets they do. When listening to PJ, I tend to prefer a run of quiet tunes as opposed to going back and forth between them and the rockers.

I agree 100%. One of the weirdest set moments for me was St. Paul 2003 when a rocking version of Evenflow was followed by Thin Air. You could literally feel the air being sucked out of the arena.
I like the current format of opening with 3-4 slow songs and maybe 1-2 to kick off the encore. The Vote For Change acoustic encores were awesome as well.
I'll keep holding out for an acoustic album or tour though. A fella can dream.

The love for the Benaroya Hall show, and the Mansfield 2003 preset should have given them a hint...

All great songs left. This album is sooooo good! I don't feel comfortable voting for Save You but, of the 4 remaining, I'd choose the other 3 in a playlist first.
These four songs get played once or twice a tour. That is most of Riot Act though.
True that, but they're also the shows that stick out from those tours.. Hartford 2013, Charlottesville 2013, Quebec City 2016, Pemberton 2016, etc. It's been interesting watching this tournament.
