It seems crazy to me they've never played Sigh other than that pre-release tease in Germany and soundchecks. This is the song they'd been working on since 1996 when it started life as 7 Corners, they recorded countless versions of it since then and despite never being happy with results, kept persisting because they loved the riff and wanted it to work. They finally do it, then just don't even bother playing it live? It'd kick ass!
I still think it was a missed opportunity that they didn’t open with “Walk” at the first show back after Dave broke his leg. Either that or “These Days” would’ve been perfect. (“One of these days, the ground will drop out from beneath your feet.”)
The moment probably loses a little of its poignancy with the fact that Dave was able to walk pretty normally well before that tour ended.
I doubt he could like sprint around like crazy or anything on even stay on his feet as long as a typical show but he sure as shit could walk around without using his little teeny tricycle or crutches or whatever by the time they'd gotten to Chicago (about 2 months or so after the fall).

I'll go with St. Cecilia. Love that song.
its been on the setlist a few times but they’ve never played it to my knowledge.
That whole EP is great and deserves a few live outings.
It really does deserve some live love. Preferably when I'm in the crowd!😁
Me too.
That EP was awesome - I knew it would get overlooked and that makes me sad 😞

That's a great song too. Really they need to play all 5 songs of the EP at every show going forward.
I feel a twitter campaign in the making
Yes!!!
The crowd in Germany enjoyed the teaser when they didn't even know what it was.
It'd go down even better now it's a known song.
Opening with Bridge burning at Milton Keynes was pretty cool.
Maybe white limo. That would wake people up.
'Razor'
Even tho they’ve done it before - I’d like them to go back and open with Let It Die or IYH.
Skin & Bones.
25min version.

Yeah, this would be cool.

Miss the Misery
Wind up or Enough Space like the olden days
Agree with Sigh. What a belter
Do you happen to have any of the prior versions?
The studio versions you mean? If only. They're all safely locked up at FFHQ one would assume.
Now that would be a very cool release!
In Your Honor!
I miss Stacked Actors
I had an IYH sign at Leeds but had to rapidly get rid as I needed to join the pit 😂
Seen a few goodies over the years but put another vote in 'The Neverending Sigh' bucket.
Yesss!
Don’t think they’ve opened with it since 2005/2006... in the UK anyway but it was a great opener!
That and Let it Die.
I’d happily have anything off S/T or TCATs that wasn’t a single!
I'm spending my afternoon watching live footage from Roswell 2005 and yeah, I could live with them opening with In Your Honour again. Please.
I'm quite partial to the T-In The Park version myself.
