I was just thinking about one of the first BNL shows I attended, during the Peepshow tour. I feel so lucky to have heard "She's On Time" and "The Ballad Of Gordon" live. The other one for me was "Inline Bowline" back in 2004 in East Lansing Michigan. That one stands out because it was Jim's birthday(33rd I think) and I asked him if he'd play it the night before. I told him I'd be there and waiting for it, he smiled and said, "we'll see'. Seriously, I almost cried when they started playing it.
What are some of yours?

Lilac Girl, What A Good Boy (after Stunt came out it was rare for them to do it), The Flag (again, rare post-Stunt but it was done on a fairly regular basis back in the early days) and Lovers In A Dangerous Time.
I see them tonight in Davenport, IA...hopefully they'll crank out more of the oldies rather than all post-Born on a Pirate Ship! (Yeah, the *new* stuff post-Stunt is good but damn, I miss the old days!):)

That's got to be Pollywog in a Bog. I was so surprised to hear it on this tour, and it was so awesome to go home to my girls and tell them that they sang their favourite song (well, it was their favourite song that week -- it's Allergies this week).
Having Ed appear on the side of the stage I was on as Ty and Jim were playing acoustically in the centre and do his part was perfect.

I'm going to have to go with What a Good Boy. It was amazing to hear it because of what the songs means to me. I was bawling like a little baby.

Obviously, there's a lot of surprises on this tour, due to, well, we all know why...but in that spirit, I loved hearing Ed do "Life, In a Nutshell" in Toledo this past weekend.
Overall, I was happily surprised to hear "Fight the Power" on the last cruise.
Ultimate prize goes to the first show the do "Brian Wilson" at.

I could be wrong... but I thought they already did do Brian Wilson. during the little holiday balls they did. I'll have to find a set list, but I swore I saw it in Indy this past december.
