    Quick Escape is one of their best songs post 2000 IMO!  It should be a live staple!
    The only good part is the solo and bass run.  The actual song is pretty forgettable imo. 
    Do not agree. The lyrics, vocal melody etc makes the song catchy and memorable. Compared to something like River Cross and Comes then Goes that are just more of songs already been done "better", sometimes by Neil Young. Or Whoever Said/Superblood Wolfmoon that are "just" (cool or fun) versions of e.g. Supersonic.

    Quick Escape is a standout in my opinion. And I can see it having a Unthought Known kind of a tail.

    I've always found SBWM corny for some reason and was kinda glad I missed it.

    Who Ever Said, DOTC, Quick Escape, and Retrograde will remain in rotation. Buckle Up and Seven O'Clock will be once a year songs. The others will be forgotten about.

    Not this. But it'll probably be DOTC, Quick Escape, and Super Blood Wolfmoon

    Quick Escape and Who Ever Said.  Those 2 and Retrograde came off best live in my opinion.  Wish they paid Retrograde more than they did. It's great live.    Think Seven O'Clock came off better live than anticipated as well.

    DOTC and SBWM were better on the album than live. Just didn't think they translated well live.

    i thought Camden 22 had great energy from the crowd to Quick Escape and Who Ever said.  So I think they will stay.  I also think they will continue to push DOTC and Retrograde.

    6 Gigaton shows for me.....never got Alright, Retrograde, Comes Then Goes.  I have a feeling Comes Then Goes makes its live debut this next tour.

    Please no buckle up… seen it twice😴

    retrograde rocks and I can’t believe I’m saying this but more 7oclock

    Is there hate for Quick Escape?  I think it’s a great song and needs to stay.  Dotc, sbwm, who ever said, retrograde and seven o’clock will all stick around for a few more tours I think.  Not every night songs but multiple plays.

     Key PJ cities like Boston and Seattle as well as Aus/nz didn’t get to be part of the Gigaton tour so I’m sure some will make appearances there 
    1998: Mansfield, MA (9/15)

    Whoever Said, Quick Escape, and the occasional / rare early set Retrograde - compare it to say Pendulum from LB.

    DOTC should never be played again (great album song), just doesn't fit the set/flow of the band live it definitely killed the flow of almost all 11 Gigaton shows I was at and resulted in mass exodus to beer lines and restrooms - the others are deep cuts.

    I liked most of them especially Never Destination - but they are definitely rarer songs now.

    Hoping Quick Escape makes it. Didn’t get to hear it last tour, and the guitar solo at the end is killer. I also how DOTC makes it. I’m a bit fan.

    The first time I heard DOTC live was at Ohana in 2021. Mike was having guitar issues, so it wasn't the best version. The next 2 times I saw them (OKC 2022, FTW2 2023), it sounded great. Love that song.

    I think Quick Escape, Dance & Seven O'Clock will stick long-term. I think they'll play Buckle Up, Who Ever Said , Superblood & Retrograde every once in awhile.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I do think if a certain former President somehow gets re-elected next year, Quick Escape and Seven O' Clock will remain prevalent for a while.

    Quick Escape and DOTC for sure. Seven O'Clock, Retrograde, Whoever Said good chance. SBWM, No way Ed remembers those lyrics. I think second leg of tour it was pretty much dropped from rotation as well

    I’m with you. Gigaton is one of my least favorite record from them. Especially with the slightly shorter setlists…

    Quick escape will definitely stay in the rotation. 
    SBWM will likely be a semi-regular. 

    DOTC, and Whoever Said should stay around but likely won’t. Whoever said should close sets it’s so good

    Only saw 3 Gigaton shows, but I missed Superblood Wolfmoon and Quick Escape. Really hope those stick around!

    Loved the songs I heard: DOTC, Who Ever Said, 7 o’clock, Buckle Up, Retrograde, and River Cross.

    Odd that I missed two of the singles!
