    the vocals is my guess.. seems like that song would be really tough for eddie live.

    i can't see any other reason why they wouldn't play it.
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam
  • I'm thinking that they are saving it for either the second leg. Something for the other peeps to enjoy.

    If he can pull off that ending in Lightning Bolt, he can sure as hell handle Getaway.

    This is the song we're only going to see pop-up less than 10 times this tour ala Gonna See My Friend. Shame too, it's a great song.

    I wonder if the band doesn't see the song in the same light we do.
    "There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
    "Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
    "Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."

    If they tracked it as the leadoff song on the album, I'd imagine they must be somewhat proud of it.

    They wouldn't have opened the album with it...

    Seems like a strange reason to play it. And what's up with Pendulum as intro music? I wonder if this means they'll never play it. Or have they played it? Who knows? I CAN'T WAIT FOR BROOKLYN!!!

    I am hoping to hear it in Brooklyn or Philly. I wonder if it was this song Ed was implying the band couldn't do live because BOB made it too difficult to recreate? I sure hope not...Getaway is easily one of the best songs on the album...IMHO

    It's too controversial.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Why?

    Driving to work this morning listening to Getaway thinking- why haven't they played this live yet? It is one of my favorites. Good question.
