Better Things is my favorite annual single of all time and it was only played twice in 2012 when the single was first sent out to Ten Club members (and only overseas). It is such a great, great song, I would lose my shit if they played it in Telluride. I keep hearing how Ride Fest is a ROCK festival, not a folk fest like people expect in that setting... and this is a ROCK song, so it would be unbelievably awesome to play it.

All Those Yesterdays would completely fit the vibe and has only been played 20 times since 1998. Let's make it legal before Yield turns 21. :) (I don't really have a good reason, just never heard it live and think it would be killer if they did it, especially if they do a semi acoustic set like we are all hoping for).

    Interesting! I like that they extended it, it is too short to begin with, PJ should also extend it in Telluride!

    Yeah, the single version is one of my top played iTunes. Love that song. It was cool they played it when it was first released, but surprised they didn't add it to the covers at least circa 2013. It just disappeared! Time to bring it back.

    I know Telluride is a smaller than average show but let's keep this going.

    No surprise they didn't play Better Things but who would have EVER guessed we would get to hear Angel?! Not me!! What an awesome show.

    And weirdly, before the encore as things were getting set up, I swear I heard the first piano chord to Better Things and went "What?"
