Taking a friend to PJ this tour for his1st time.

He's a dead-head at heart, and is fairly familiar with the PJ's early stuff, but asked me to make him a playlist to get back into PJ a bit more. 

So workin on a ~20 song playlist for him. My first go without much thought is below. on first glance looks very light on Yield and Binaural. 

Bold/Italics are songs I'm feeling get replaced. Any suggestions on adds/edits?

1.     Indifference 

2.     Present Tense 

3.     Marker in the Sand 

4.     Wasted Reprise/Life Wasted

5.     Daughter 

6.     Got Some

7.     Corduroy 

8.     I Am Mine

9.     Unthought Known 

10.   Elderly Woman

11.   Fixer 

12.   Given to Fly

13.   The Waiting (Tom Petty...I'd like to include one cover in this)

14.   Come Back

15.   Betterman 

16.   Black 

17.   Alive 

18.   Once 

19.   Footsteps 

20.   Yellow Ledbetter

    My suggestion would be to keep Marker in the Sand and don’t include a cover.

    No gigaton or lightening bolt? I'd put in Mind Your Manners, Quick Escape and maybe Dance of the Clairvoyants for Got Some, Once and The Waiting.

    I you want a cover go Crazy Mary or Crown of Thorns. Otherwise, stick to PJ.

    If you need a cover add Love, Reign O'er Me

    All lists should have these 5 songs IMO. 

    Release
    Corduroy
    Immortality
    Present Tense 
    Rearviewmirror 


    Also add something like HTI/Wash 

    If you need something from Binaural add Parting Ways or Insignificance

    Alive
    In Hiding
    State of Love and Trust
    Amongst the Waves
    Quick Escape
    Just Breathe
    In Hiding
    Yellow Ledbetter

    Live:
    Given to Fly
    Corduroy
    Inside Job
    Off He Goes
    Elderly Woman
    Hail Hail
    Long Road
    Not For You
    Release
    Do the Evolution

    Honorable Mentions - a few I considered but held off to keep at 10 each
    Love Boat Captain
    Animal
    Dissident
    Hail Hail
