    The Fixer is awesome.  Definitely one of their better singles from 2000-2022

    Im pretty sure in my 10 PJ shows I have heard Unthought Known 10 times.  

    Would have preferred it was WWS instead

    In 2018 Sirens was played only once in Europe I think.
    The Fixer is as good as forgotten by the band. The second single Got Some, when did that one show up last?
    World Wide Suicide was an amazing staple for many years... where is it now?

    Will Can't Deny Me show up this summer?


    The death of singles live. The Fixer should obviously, without a doubt, never have been recorded or played. But other songs like WWS...how could they have been forgotten like this. Porch is still being dragged out at every show. Soon to be played twice per show I reckon. But Mind your Manners is gonna be all but gone this tour?

    Whack. 
    Eh, to me the Fixer and Cant Deny Me are among the worst PJ songs recorded. I suspect that has a lot to do with it.

    Man how encouraging it was when PJ dropped this after The Fixer made you doubt everything good in the world.

    Such a great song live

    Did it? Then my timelime is skewed. 

    I remember a turtle being named Backspacer. Then The Fixer and then Got Some. But I guess you are right. 

    Anyway, having Cameron Crowe snd ending up with that music video.

    The turtle! My class did a whole project on the Great Turtle Race that year. I was super psyched when Backspacer won the race. My 5th graders had no clue who PJ was. 😆 

    I think Fixer was first. I remember hearing a song tease during a baseball game? All star game maybe?

    I don't foresee Mind Your Manners going anywhere. They've gotta have something to play off that album. And Sirens sends a mass exodus to the bathrooms. So it's either that or Lightning Bolt.

    And please, no Can't Deny Me
    I really like the guitar solo in Sirens.  Biggest reason to hear it imo.

    PJ debuted Got Some live on the first Tonight Show with Conan. That was several months before BS dropped. Maybe a year?

    The Fixer is fun and catchy… I don’t need it every show but it should be played more often.  If I caught it once every tour it would be great.  The retiring of a good chunk of songs has contributed to the encores feeling a little stale lately.  

    Got Some, on the other hand, is a really great song and I would support it making more regular appearances.

    ha ha!  There's definitely some brilliant songs on both of those albums but man are there some clunkers.  I must say that binaural has really grown on me over the past few years.  I used to despise of the girl and now think it is a gem.

    Was Lightning Bolt a single? That song was meh at it's Wrigley debut in 2013 but has become fantastic live since. Hope it sticks around. 
    It's great live.  I am never disappointed when they play that.  MYM can go away.  It just doesn't have any groove.  

    One thing I have noticed is that Stone LOVES Unthought Known.  Watch him when he plays that song, he always has a huge grin.  I think it's the song from Backspacer that has aged the best.

    WWS makes it comeback spring leg! 

    Would live fixer and got some to get cycled in at some point. Underrated imo. Way better then some of the adult contemporary/easy listening songs.

    WWS was of its time. Now it sounds like a dated George W. Bush era song. Sirens has always been a snoozefest for me. Ed's added "aaah ha" section at the end was unnecessary.

    I would take WWS and the fixer at Nashville, St Louis or Oklahoma City with no complaints whatsoever.

    Some of the older singles probably just don't give them the same reaction as before, or for that matter wear them out (and Ed's voice) during a long set. As much as I love WWS, it's been replaced by newer songs with similar themes... Seven O'Clock comes to mind.
