    They deserve to be allowed to have only donuts without glass for the rest of their lives.
    Absolutely love You Are.

    They have also NEVER opened with it (to my knowledge)... I sincerely wish they would.  

    Highly disagree that it's a momentum killer, but why not start with something so unique and funky?  It's not much different than opening with Pendulum, which they stuck with in 2013..

    Ghost is pretty damn bad too. I feel people like it only because it is such a rare song live.  
    I’ve seen it live, not good.especially when there are about 200 better songs the band has
    I disagree. Ghost is a great song and I don’t like songs just because they are rare. Also, I absolutely loved In The Moonlight with Josh Homme at PJ 20. Another song I love. Sometimes rare is great. Others are not. Point being that some of the more “rare” PJ songs are some fans favorites like myself. I can safely say I will never purposely put on Jeremy ever again. There’s hundreds of songs I’d rather listen to

    If You Are is played at a show, that show is under immediate consideration for getting the bootleg...  :rock_on::rock_on:
    Seems like they do break it out at some great shows. Krakow and Quebec 2016 are two of my favourite shows and it was played.

    I love Ghost. But when someones say its not a great live song, I can see the merit of that argument.

    @mcgruff10 this ones for you!

    I like both songs but both of them are crowd killers imo. Cropduster more so than You are.

    lol.  I agree with you that both songs are total crowd killers.

    Interesting... I had to look up my stats... I’m kind of partial to the Riot Act stuff since that tour was my first show, and I’d say probably my favourite studio album. I thought that I’d heard both songs more than once live... but nope... just once each (including the latest Cropduster). I got spoiled with the entire Binaural (2nd best album), but any Riot Act live is good to me.

    They deserve to be flogged with Matt Cameron's sticks, every day for half an hour, while Bon Jovi is blasting from the radio.

    Oh, come on... I've never seen them live... You just want to make me sad and angry, I think.
    I'm calling Donald to tell him there's a certain McGruff in N.J. who'd like to make out.

    trust me you aren't missing anything at all.  
     plain and simple both songs are terrible.   they stunk on the record and live they are the equivalent to watching paint dry.

    They're beautiful and I love them, and they are usually the highlights when I'm listening to a bootleg that includes them.. and they're so funny to play on guitar, too. So, well, I don't trust you at all... If I feel like watching paint dry I give a spin to Sirens.

    All of the above.
    I like the thought of You Are as an opener out of an Encore Break.  Anywhere else, it does seem a bit awkward, unless you're trying to reel back from a streak of hard rockers in the set list.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    No need to throw Sirens under the bus.

    You are free to use any of these options instead: Olé, The Fixer, My Sacrifice, Future Days,

    You Are is one of my favorite PJ songs and Cropduster is probably my all-time least favorite. Lucky to have seen You Are twice and never to have caught Cropduster, haha. It always gets my hopes up before they take the stage and the roadies are testing Stone's pedal board; I can always tell when they test that drum machine/effects pedal for You Are and think "maybe I'll hear it again!". But alas, not since '03.
