    Rarities are becoming rarer the past few years but during the DM tour in particular.
    That we didn't get "one for the serious collector" at either Fenway show was a shocker.

    Yeah that surprised me too...  but then they followed that by playing Whale Song, Gremmie, Big Wave and Future Days at Ohana.  So if nothing else that does show that they can still play some rarer songs if they want to.

    I guess you guys in the US (and hopefully us in Europe if they tour here in 2026) may get rarer songs in the April/May shows than were played last year, much like the 2023 Gigaton US shows compared to the 2022 ones.

    I've always been of the "play whatever you like" way of thinking but yeah, it would certainly be nice to see a bit more setlist variety especially for the two-night-one-city-stands...  I don't feel like they need to keep playing Wreckage every night.

    Those shows sounded great but the setlists were nothing to write home about.  

    2016 blows 2018 and 2024 out of the water for me.

    Truthfully this isn't even really about the super-rare stuff.  I mean hardly anyone has seen Hitchhiker as it's only been played once, this thread generally seems to highlight those songs in that mid-tier that aren't the setlist staples yet once were quite common but nowadays seemingly don't get a look-in at all.

    Night 2 of 2018 was pretty interesting. As was Night 2 of 2016.  I did not attend Night 1 of 2016 but I think that was the show of the year in 2016.  The 2024 fenway shows were very underwhelming.

    this thread has gone sideways. I don't have any commonly played songs I have not caught live, unless you count some backspacer era because it did not see any shows from 2009 thru 2012 and only saw 3 shows from 2013 through 2016.

    I was there! Huge bathroom exile for that song. I didn't realize that's the only time it was played. 4/28/16 hugely underrated show.

    Yeah bringing it back to the main crux of this thread Backspacer definitely does count...  Some people for instance have mentioned never seeing The Fixer.  Played 96 times in total but yet has become a rarity these days.

    As an aside, I think when you look back historically at these things, who'd have thought the most played song on Avocado would be Severed Hand?  Or Unthought Known for Backspacer?

    I've only been to three shows, but I was still surprised to learn I've never seen State of Love & Trust live. That said, I was more surprised by the number of songs I've witnessed live that they've rarely played, some only once. I was at the Soldier Field show in 1995, so that is the main reason for the rarest ones I think. The Champaign show had a couple, too, and Eddie played Imagine for the first time live at the St. Louis show apparently. 

    1995 - Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
    2003 - Assembly Hall, Champaign, IL
    2014 - Scottrade Center, St. Louis, MO

    I've only had 11 shows, but for me it's Release.

    I miss it every time...yet have seen Out of my Mind 2x, Tremor Christ 2x, of the girl 3x m, glorified g 2x and Wash 3x 

    And I was in Chicago in 2018 when they didn't play Release.
    12 shows, no Release either..
    The first song I ever saw them play live at my very first show was Release. I have only seen it played 4 times total in all the years since. 
    Was this at Soldier Field in Chicago in 1995? That was my first show. They opened with Release around sunset and it was glorious.

    Let's hope for some of these songs getting an outing on the spring tour.  It would be great to get a few more setlists like the 2 Ohana shows where they deliberately mixed in the DM stuff and usual setlist staples with some songs they haven't played for a while... 

    Personally I'd love to hear some of the songs that have dropped off from the Binaural, Riot Act, Avocado era.

    Fenway 2024 was much better than Fenway 2018 but as SVRDhand13 says, 2016 beats them both quite a bit. With 2016 night 2 being the crown jewel of all 6, IMO.  For me, I think playing at Fenway has just lost it's luster at this point. Get back to TD or Worcester bub.

    After 48 shows I’ve been lucky it looks like. The song played the most that I haven’t seen is Can’t Deny Me played 16x. Anything played over 16x I’ve been lucky enough to see at least once

    I wouldn’t call that one a miss lol. Heard it twice and it is not one to write home about. Was better live though than the studio.

    I don't think I'd do Fenway again.  And then they'd play Dirty Frank, Just A Girl, Fatal and Of the Earth :lol:

    Fenway was my bucket list venue for so long but after six shows, it's been done.

    I could honestly flip a coin between Fenway '18 & Fenway '24.... '24 gets a slight edge as I had GA for N1 (thnx J) & we got In My Tree that night (all time favorite song) but yeah... after 2016, I'm all set. I would love to have them back at the Garden. 

    & Yes... Fenway 2 2016 is a top 3 PJ show for me.

    Oddly I always enjoyed Night 1 more than Night 2.... not sure why.  I have to go back and listen to both again.

    I'm up to 56 shows, but had a lull around Backspacer so The End (27 plays) and Mankind (45 plays) are the most commonly played songs I've not seen.  But the ones I really want to see that I've missed are Swallowed Whole and Gonna See My Friend (both not played since 2016).
  • Get_RightGet_Right Posts: 13,597
    60+ shows. There is not much I have not seen. I just wish they played less Ten in the current sets and more Binaural, Riot Act or Avocado. It is a good problem to have. They have so much great music I wish I could hear live instead of the Ten songs.
