Hard to say why some of these songs are never player anymore. Why I ask...why.

Leash - OK lots of talk lately about this one.
Who You Are - Hasn't been played since '98
No Way - I looked and could only find this 4 times in 1998.
Satan's Bed - 1 big screw up at Penn State doesn't count
Rats - Last time was 98
WMA - Last Time was Japan '95
Garden - Come on!!

Let's lose, Even Flow, Save you and Daughter (yes Daughter) and pull one of these out!!

Who's with me?

    There was a lot of songs this tour that I wanted to hear ... I hope they go back to at least the 2003-level of diversity next time.

    Are you INSANE? Lose DAUGHTER?
    They should play soon forget and bugs more often, just for comedic value.
    One time I was trying to print a picture of me so I could give it to a friend to cheer him up after he was diagnosed with cancer, but the printer jammed, and my friend died.

    From what i can gather, and has been discussed on the board previously:

    Leash - Youth Angst Anthem -- PJ not Youth or Angsty anymore

    Who You Are - No Jack, no Who You Are

    No Way - No Way! ;) -- probably too hard to pull off live. see dirty frank.

    Satan's Bed - "model roll model roll some models in blood" -- Ed's wife = a model!

    Rats - no fucking clue. maybe jeff can't hack the bass line anymore? hah.

    WMA - you get rid of your precious Daughter, you lose your tag! maybe they gave up, seeing as how the majority of their fanbase=WMA
    i still have this sticker on my guitar though. ;)

    Garden -- not quite sure, as they were doing it in 2000, though it sounded a bit tired. personaly one of my favs off 10. perhaps because it is predominantly a song about materialism and they again feel it may be a bit hypocritical ... who fucking knows with PJ though.

    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    I am totally with you...Those are great songs and everything, but those other ones I would like to hear also. Especially Leash, that song is gorgeous.

    I'm not with you on Even Flow or Daughter, you punk :p

    I have Garden on the '00 tour at Stockholm's Maritime Museum, bought it solely for that...

    I'd love someone in't band to say, "Hey, we could play No Way tonight" though...

    Worked great on Benaroya didn't it? I only have ONE boot wit Present Tense, but I have about 8 versions of In My Tree, so it's not like they don't play it?

    I concur with Tremor Christ, I love that song. The bassline is so awesome. Also Garden, its my favorite song off of Ten and I would love to hear Mike wail on it live.

    I totally agree on Tremor Christ! Garden wasn't my favorite, but it's been so long I long for it.:)

    I agree, play corduroy/betterman/daughter/even flow about 1/2 as much as it
    is currently played, and bust out, all those yesterdays, no way, all night, fatal, etc.
    Take time to see the sky,
    Find shapes in the clouds.
    Hear the murmur of the wind
    and touch the cool water.
    Walk softly,
    we are intruders,
    tolerated briefly
    In an infinite universe.
