One Song You Love/Used To Love You Wished They'd Stop Performing Live

This is any song, cover or original, that you love or used to love and wish they'd retire live. 

one rule: you may NOT answer Even Flow. :lol:

my pick would be RITFW. I have seen the band 4 times, and it's been played every time. It's a great crowd pleaser, I'm just kind of tired of it personally. that being said, that doesn't mean I won't sing along next time I see the band! 
Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Do The Evolution

    I love Yield... it's probably my favourite album and I used to enjoy DTE, but they play it at every show.   Now it's gotten old.   It's kind of up there with Even Flow and Corduroy now (except I really do love Corduroy).

    Tough.... not sure I have one.... there are lots that I never liked in the first place....

    Off the top of my head, Given to Fly would have to be my best pick...

    all the songs i truly love i wish they'd play more. they can start with of the girl.

    but to answer the actual question, i'd be fine not hearing yellow ledbetter live again.

    Most of the ones I'd retire I never really loved or even liked very much. RITFW, DTE, Last Kiss, Lukin. Not sure I have one that I used to love and want to see go. Best answer I guess is Just Breathe. I like the song but it almost feels like a waste every time they play it. The rest of the band basically stands around while Ed plays a solo song.

    Only song that comes to mind is I Got Id. Not because its overplayed, but because its one of my favorites in the studio, but just don't like it live nearly as much. In 17 shows I've heard it only once I think. Would be fine if I didn't hear it again.

    Like Jimmy said, the ones I'd be okay with them retiring were never at the top of my list to begin with.
    I dont get the hate for Evenflow or Betterman. Yes, they're overplayed, but they're classics and still fun to see to me. I'd still rather hear those songs than ones I never cared to begin with like "You Are. (or I got Id)"

    Oh man, my favorite part of the live version is Boom's solo and then duel w/ Mike. Viva la B3! :smiley:

    I agree with RITFW. Enough already.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
