I’ve seen all of the Gigaton songs live (except for comes then goes, of course) and I think that they all sound great live. My favorites (in no particular order) are who ever said, quick escape, retrograde, and seven o’clock. The one that surprised me the most of this group was retrograde- the ending especially really soars live.
Retrograde is an absolute beast of a song live. The last 90 seconds is unreal live. Loved it.
I enjoyed WES, DOTC, and River Cross a lot as well. Only one I didn’t care for was Buckle Up (I just can’t get into this song live or on the album. It is one of the rare PJ songs I flat out don’t like)
I absolutely love DOTC - it's one of my favorite pj songs since Yield. And it didn't disappoint live for me. One of my buddies was jumping down at first saying "Why go! Why Go!" and I had to break it to him quickly haha

Retrograde.....Hands down. Nothing else was even close.
I wasn't even a fan of Retrograde when I listened to the album. Once they played it in San Diego, I became a fan forever. It is one of the better Live songs that they have done in quite a while.

Sad I didn’t get Retrograde live. Actually, I’m thankful I went up SHN as I got 7 Gigaton songs there, compared to 3 at MSG.
