If there was ever a song that would disappear on this tour, WWS would not have been the one I would have guessed. It was the most frequently played song in '03....although without checking the numbers Nothing As It Seems was in high rotation in 2000 and has hardly been played since. What gives?

Maybe they got sick of playing it?

Maybe they realized they play it way too damn fast.

sounds like it's hard for Ed to do it justice live. he even struggled in the official video.
but i'm still very surprised.

I just think they know what they're doing most of the time. It's really not the best, or even close to, song live on that album. Someday it will be revived ala Why Go, maybe not as much though.

I'd still guess it gets played once or twice still, which is how alot of songs are coming out. Or at least I'd be really suprised if it's not played once.

Maybe you're right they got sick of playing it. I wasn't sick of hearing it, but I don't especially miss it.

Maybe this is a different thread, but if you are going to multiple shows, what are the songs you absolutely want to hear every night? I've got GTF, Severed, and Corduroy for sure.

I'm sort of glad this has been shelved. I can't stand the chorus.

Who cares...

I kind of wanted to hear it tonight for shits and giggles.

Choosing their battles. It'll come out when they work it up well and can do a good version of it.
It was good in '06 for the most part. In '07, from what I've heard and seen, it was difficult to get through.

Take care,

I can't stand the chorus when they play it live. It just plain sounds bad. Studio works great, but live, it flops

Its a downer of a song lyrically, and people these days are looking for optimism. There'll be a new president-elect in less than 5 months. I bet its kind of hard singing about the end of the world with hope on the horizon.

ed's politics have changed slightly since the song's release.

I actually hope they play it at either show in Boston or Hartford. I've yet to see it live.

What happened to Vitalogy this tour?

Last night saw STBC come back, but prior to, Last Exit, Nothingman, Tremor Christ, Immortality, Satan's Bed, and Spin The Black Circle haven't been played.

Also, what happened to In My Tree? That song would pair well with Who You Are.

I don't think anything happened to Vitalogy this tour, and I don't understand why everybody's saying something has. Last Exit got played fairly frequently in 06 and they brought Immortality out occassionally. But, considering that they did play Nothingman this tour, the only songs that haven't come back are Last Exit, Tremor Christ, Immortality and Satan's Bed and considering that they almost never play Tremor Christ or Satan's Bed, and only occasionally play Immortality and Last Exit, I don't really get this whole thing.

They were just saving it for 2nd Song in the setlist at MSG 2!

yo, i noticed they did a little intro thing for this song on one of the gorge shows. did they do that a lot for the '06 tour?
