    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.

    (more Binaural and Riot Act please)
    Paging McGruff...
    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 As much as I love WWS, it's been replaced by newer songs with similar themes...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.
