What song would you choose?

yosi · June 4

My considerations: What songs do I want to hear that I haven’t heard yet? Who am I with and what would make them happy? Is it possible I’d hear this song at a different show if I didn’t make this request?

Depending on the answers I would probably request:

In the Moonlight, Oceans, All Those Yesterdays, Footsteps, Setting Sun.

I think it's cool you're also thinking about who you're with.

Parting Ways

All or None or Around the Bend - such easy songs for Ed's voice. I'm shocked they haven't used them and Parting Ways way more often to help extend sets and add some more "rare" songs to the setlists.

Either Hard To Imagine or Parting Ways. I've only gotten them twice.

I'll pick Parting Ways, since we're probably less likely to get that anytime soon.

I heard both yesterday and thought the same thing.

It’s an interesting question. Do you go fully selfish and pick something you personally have never heard or pick something more of the fan base would like to see? Pick something they haven’t played in a while, yet not so far out there that it would get instantly shot down? Or just say fuck it and request something ultra rare or something that they have never played and hope they can figure it out? It’s like how much leeway are they really prepared to give you and if you go too big do they just veto the idea and go back to playing what was in the setlist. After all they shot Stern down on his show when he requested Glorified G although they did come around to playing it in NYC.

In the moment I would have probably froze and picked the 1 song (Indiff) I had been selfishly trying to hear for a long time prior to Pitt which would have been the wrong pick with that kind of power. Plus it wouldn’t have been the right spot in the setlist, would have killed the energy, and still had a chance of being played anyway (although it was the other song that night that wasn’t on the setlist…). My “fuck it I’m going to try it” requests would have been Bushleaguer, Just A Girl or Brother. My rare but within reason requests would be something like Army Reserve, Of the Earth, My Fathers Son.

I think Grievance was in the perfect sweet spot of requests. No idea why that song hasn’t been in the rotation since 2016, especially in this environment.

If I was being completely selfish, I would choose Release since I’m still chasing it. But would also be tempted to request Around the Bend, Hold On, Wash, Comes then Goes or Marker in the Sand.

EricaRMaier · June 10

I know half of y’all would hate me, but I’d pick The Fixer, because it’s just super fun. 😜

But it also would be wild to hear Mike sing Turning Mist, but I know that’s more appropriate for one of his solo events. 😏

YOU CAN’T TAKE MY TEN CLUB CARD AWAY! 😅

Grievance was a great choice though. Love that song

That’s my choice as well. Grievance was great, great show in general.

Love the song so much.

My thinking now is that he would have said no. There was a dude in Raleigh N2 who had a sign with song requests (Of the Earth, Just a Girl, and one or two more) and Ed acknowledged him but said no.

But in the moment I didn't think much. Grievance was my instinct. Right from my gut.

marumaruko · June 11

Retrograde if it's early in the set.
Who You Are or In My Tree if it's in the middle and Leaving Here if it's towards the end.

@Shaindli1
Btw, thank you for picking Grievance. Imo it really ties the set together. Can't wait to hear the bootleg.

r10house · June 11

The song I wanted that night was "Man of the Hour." Turns out it was on their set list, so glad I wasn't asked. Other songs that have been appearing in my bag of hopefuls:

- Swallowed Whole
- Help Help
- Satan's Bed
- Can't Deny Me
- Cready Stomp

SN17892 · June 12

For the opening song, always, Release
For any other song except closer, always, Immortality
For the closer, Keep on Rockn in the Free World
