Yellow Ledbetter vs. Alive, Evenflow, and Black

LukinFan

If you could only hear either the trio of "Alive", "Evenflow", and "Black" OR just "Yellow Ledbetter" at a show, which would you prefer?

Yellow Ledbetter. I've heard the others a lot and while I enjoy hearing two of them, I consider Black to be a nine-minute sludge of boringness (yeah, that's right). Of course Black gives me plenty of time to take a leak, particularly when it's so popular and nobody else uses that as their "piss-break song."

how is that possible?

For this poll, Ledbetter as it’s only 1 show and assuming the set list is just as long I get 3 different songs instead of 1.  

If the poll had been ever again, I would choose the other way as I’d still like to hear those and would rather forgo the 1 if it was a lifetime choice.

though at this point, nobody’s heard anything for going on 3 years, so anything and everything would be good.

I originally read it as "if you could only hear the INTRO..." which I'd go with Alive. 
But I'd definitely say 3 is better than 1, even if they are 3 of their most popular tunes, because that gets all the "Hits" fans going nuts.

So much more Mike.

Really depends on where the concert is too.  If I had to drive and need to make my way out of the parking lot or something definitely prefer Yellow Ledbetter so I can leave without missing anything of importance.

But mostly, I'd rather hear 3 great originals than a quasi cover song.

Whoa, whoa, whoa "3 is better than 1" people...

Those poll choices aren't specified as the entire setlist. Picking Yellow Ledbetter allows 3 other songs to fill those slots in the set. Maybe you'll like those songs more!

Exactly. Thanks for clarifying. I didn't mean the whole setlist was either just 1 or 3 songs. It's about the actual songs.

What if they played Inside Job, Nothing as it Seems and Present Tense with extended jams instead?

I'll go with half full, red mosquito and present tense with extended jams.

Ok. I could go for that instead. 

So, sticking with your vote?

I misread the op s question, I guess I would rather hear yellow than the trio since the trio would be replaced by three other songs.   So I am not sticking with my vote!!

Not necessarily Yellow Ledbetter’s biggest fan. Easy choice for me.
