Songs I'm surprised have not been played yet at home/away shows are: man of the hour, off he goes, sirens, light years, last kiss, I am mine. Let's see what Fenway brings!
I agree that it is a shame that most of Binaural, Riot Act, Avocado, and Backspacer are largely forgotten. I'd love to see more of all of these albums.
Life Wasted was a staple for awhile, even after the Avocado tour. It was a nice set 1 or 2 closer, along with Blood, Why Go, and a couple others. I was actually a little bummed that both Wrigley shows had Porch/RVM as set 1/2 closers BOTH nights. I do think they are great in those spots, but a little variety would've been nice. Picky, I know, but just my 2 cents

As already mentioned...I think Ed’s voice dictates which songs get played or shelved for a period of time. Some songs are just harder on the voice...Faithful Dissident Marker Life Wasted et al
Having said that this band always surprises us. They’ve got so many great songs, shelving a few for a while doesn’t hurt. Remember when Why Go hadn’t been played for 8 years or something! Now it’s a regular sing along staple!

I would buy that if In Hiding, Blood, Mind Your Manners weren't played. Those are super hard
In Hiding feels like a greatest hit that we should be tired of, but I'm clamoring to hear it. Same with Hail Hail (I haven't heard it in 9 years until Wrigley). I'm going 9 years on In Hiding. I was going 11 years on Not For You (until Wrigley). Glorified G (9 years). Save YOu has been 11 years (I think). These are all pretty standard cuts, or were at some point. But hey, I love that they're trotting out IMmortality more often again. It looks like theyr'e giving a rest to Nothingman and that's cool (i LOVE it but that's cool).
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.

I haven't heard Hail Hail since 1998!
Mind you, I've only attended seven shows since then.

My speculation is that Eddie's voice dictates what songs they play on any given night. Dissident, Grievance, WWS and The Fixer are all hard on the vocal chords. The hits that are difficult to sing are easier because the crowd sings along to help out.
I have to disagree when they're playing Mind Your Manners every night.
Stilled bummed Indifference was scratched Saturday night at Wrigley...so close, yet so far. I’ll take Getaway and Alone as consolations, but all three would have been killer!

Europe never really had a Riot Act tour either.. Maybe that's why?

Plus a bunch of others that are played a lot less than they should be.
