Voted DTE from this list, but definitely agree with those who said RITFW. That’s a snorer anymore

To be honest, as long as people around me are into any of those songs I'm down. I've seen some memorable Mike solos in the past few tours during Evenflow from GA, Alive brings out some truly passionate fans, and I don't mind the singalongs (Betterman's getting a little tiring, but the tags keep it fresh).
That being said, I'd trade one of those if we consistently got Red fucking Mosquito.
Small town is the song I least want to hear going in to the shows I see, but when they play it I still dig it. I for one love most of the covers. Maybe drop the extended version of porch (keep it short and angry) and work in a couple more songs.
... really whatever makes them happy up there, I’ve never left even slightly disappointed.
I don’t think the new album will change things that much. It will just make the obscure songs especially from LB and Backspacer less played. For example I bet Yellow Moon gets played maybe one time this tour. Kind of like what happened to the Fixer once LB tour came around. On Backspacer tour or fixer was played almost every show and then next tour only like twice. They probably will just throw in those couple rarities each show.
I just worked up the list based on my last 3 shows and Jeremy wasn't played every night. In fact of the 14 shows I've been to its only been played 8 times.

I've seen PJ 10 times, and Jeremy is the only song that was played at every show. That would of been my pick - but since it's not an option, I went with Evenflow.
Given was my choice because I have seen it plenty and it is just not one of my faves. DTE,Evenflow, and Jeremy along with most of the covers except Crazy Mary and Crown.

As much as id love to see something new instead of Even Flow - it is a great point in the show to nip to the toilet - (whilst hoping Mike just goes on a crazy 7min solo)!

As much as I like even flow it was my vote. I would rather just some of these shuffled around the setlist. Alive doesnt need to always be at the end. Same for porch to close a set. Even flow is 99% middle of set 1 and DTE at least gets played all over and is random
With 11 albums, even if they play 3 hours thats still going to average only 3 songs per album. Given that they will likely play 5 or 6 from Gigaton, and if they scale back to 2 1/2 hours we may only see less than 2. Lets just skip Avocado, RA, BS and LB altogether. But my guess is to make room for several new songs its going to be greatest hits setlist. Which I'd be happy with. I only get excited about the deep tracks when its one I havent heard anyway, and even then I'd still take Betterman over Evil Little Goat.

This is exactly what I would not want to happen. I love a few hits to get the crowd amped up and for the fans that haven't seen them much but I love the deep cuts. I want to hear songs from RA and Avocado. A greatest hits setlist puts them closer to all the other bands that just use the same setlist every night. No thanks. Save greatest hits set for festivals.
Jeremy was never one of my favorites until Wrigley 1 2016 which gave me a new appreciation for it. It seems like Ed feels the same way because it's been pretty standard ever since.
DTE and GTF depend on the show and where they fall in the setlist - I can remember times when each of those came up in fun spots.
Porch could probably use a little rest. Give me a Corduroy every time.
I'd add Unthought Known and Lightning Bolt to this list - both have become standards since they came out. I like both songs fine but don't need to hear them every show.
