    Agree this is a tough call. For some reason I thought heard Long Road played plenty live but it was only once (Vienna ‘14 - what a show). 
    For some reason I thought I had only heard I Got ID once… but it was 3 times… Memory just ain’t what it used to be. 

    Edit - the main reason Long Road edges out is because the story behind the song EV explained in San Diego in ‘06 (I think?). They played it on Sirius quite frequently.

    Long Road
    Quick story.  My first show Randall's Island 9/29/96, I'm on the barricade between Mike and Ed.  First encore is a rocking and Ed goes off the mic and mouths something along the lines of  "no clue what to play next".  He gazes out to the crowd of 33,000 and our eyes freaking lock.  I say "Long Road" and instantly he starts playing that wonderful D chord.  I said the name of my favorite song again as our eyes continued to lock for a few more seconds, he smiled at me then looked out to the crowd and started to sing.  No lie.  Still and will always be my favorite song.  
    fast forward to 9/11/11 Toronto (last time I heard it) and when the song concludes Ed flings his guitar pic out to the crowd.  I shit you not that the pic literally landed at the base of my feet.  :)
    Hoping to hear it for the first time in ten years at SHN.

    Both top 10 or close to it. I got Id edges it out.  Always loved the grit, lyrics and NY influence of it.
