So what Gigaton songs will survive to the 2024 tour?

If there’s a new album, they may ditch Gigaton songs for the most part

I always thought Sirens would be a staple forever, and I can’t remember the last time it was played.  

With the shorter shows, if any Gigaton songs do make the cut, it’ll be the shorter ones, though.  Can’t see them breaking out a 6 minute “7 O clock” or “Quick escape” that often.

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 

Quick Escape is a very mediocre PJ song for me personally.  It’s kind of like the comedian Tim Robinson.  Is he actually funny, or just really loud?  Same goes for Quick Escape to me.

who ever said should be but i doubt it best song on the album

Am i misremembering? but  i swear that when Gigaton was released, it was nearly universally loved and praised on this forum?  Funny after three and a half years its getting thrown on to the "post 2000" trash pile.  As far as going forward, Id be thrilled to hear Dance, SBWM, Who Ever Said, or 7oclock at any show.

I will fully confess.  I listen to the album far less than i thought i would.

critically acclaimed as well

DOTC slammed here mostly...my friends who like the Hits, say its an innovative song that bless them after 30 plus years they are still trying new things and creating a fun tune 

here....its trash

I loved DOTC, Who Ever Said and Retrograde.  Rest of the album is a pass for me.

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. 

We did 4 Gigaton Canadian shows. Only song we didn't get to hear from Gigaton was Comes Then Goes. 2024 they will probably play it. Guessing @ Indy.

I think when the new one comes people will give Gigaton lil more respect...it always goes down like this, Like No Code turning off 1/2 the fan base at the time...now its better than the 1st 3 albums to many

Gigaton wont get to that territory, but it will climb a few notches in the coming years

I highly doubt it!  I dont think we'll ever see that song live.  It's too personal for Ed and likely would lead him to get too emotional.  I dont see it happening!  Maybe once for some special occasion but unlikely...

Couldn't disagree more!  To me it's one of their best post 90's songs!

Yes Please!

Gigaton never grabbed me so I'm hoping for something completely different with the next album.  The songs I heard were fine live, I'd just rather hear many other songs from the catalog with the shorter shows.

It wasn't praised here or on Facebook.  I still listen to it regularly

I hope they play DOTC.  I never did get to see it performed live at the Oakland shows

I also really like Superblood Wolfmoon, Seven o' clock, comes then goes.

I kind of feel like I do about Lightning Bolt. Not my favourite PJ albums but there's still 3 or 4 songs on each album I quite like.

Really like Gigaton. Hope to hear one or two at each of next year’s Melbourne shows! Quick Escape and Whoever Said in particular.

DOTC and 7:00 are great album tracks that don't do well live ... on the other hand, Quick Escape and Who Ever Said crush live and I hope they stay as regulars ... and I'd vote for Retrograde as an 'occasional' tune

jefft

I'd be ok to never hear buckle up again.

Surprised people here are saying DOTC didn't work live. I thought they pulled it off great. And when I first heard it I wondered if it would translate? If Josh left maybe it wouldn't. But I think it came out well

Retrograde was my favorite Gigaton song live by far. In St Louis, Mike got really into it and it was great
