in The Porch
Just sitting here post Thanksgiving dinner and asked Alexa to play Given to Fly.   My god this song is fucking amazing.  I always knew it was good but just realized it is THAT good.  Top 5 song for sure.  Has there ever been a bad version of Given to Fly live? 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

    Loved the Global Citizen version dedicated to Malala Yousafzai - 'fuckers, she still stands' . That gave me chills.

    One of the greats. As long as it isn’t bumping Immortality off the list.  =)

    Naaa a nice song, one I didn’t like much on first listen and grew on me a bit, but it still doesn’t make my top 5 off of Yield even.

    Amazing song and nice surprise to have it open at Wrigley 2 in 2018. 

    As far as best on Yield I am not sure how this does not crack top 5. Brain of J, Faithful, and In Hiding are the only songs that can compete imo on a great album. Now if you said DTE did not crack the top 5 for Yield that I can agree with!

    Picking a favorite PJ song is a brutal task but if had to pick mine, it would be GTF!

    Hard to pick a true top 5 from the catalog but definitely a top song for me. Only In Hiding beats it on Yield.

    It was a wonderful opener that rain soaked night.

    Not sure I have a top 5, it’s a a great album, but I think I prefer every other track except The Color Red, Pilate and Push Me, Pull Me really.

    One of my faves too. The version from Great Woods night 3 (7/11/03) is tremendous.  I just wish they'd slow it down a bit now. They play it too fast.
