I loved Tremor Christ but I'm confused.

Everybody is FREAKING out saying things like Tremor Christ(!!!) and acting like they haven't played the song in years and they can't believe they did it omg!

I know it's a rarer song compared to most but it's not THAT rare. They play it at least once a tour and they already played it earlier this year.

Why is everybody acting like it's some unheard-of rarity?

Because it is a good song. Most rare songs are songs that don't translate well live. TC does and should be played more

And Ed is worse at remembering the TC lyrics than he is at remembering Breath. This one fired on all cylinders and that is rare.

Fair enough. I was just surprised. Sometimes has been played almost as rarely as Tremor Christ.

I remember when I got All Those Yesterdays in 2013 and THAT was a surprise because it had only been played like 14 times before.

Tremor Christ isn't THAT rare but I agree it's a great song and should be played more and sounded great.

Also, it's their best song

Lets not go crazy.

Its not even the best song on Vitalogy. Or the second best song. Third song is debatable.

Right when I had successfully steered the topic away.... trag'd.

I'm with you, MJD -- as someone who won't spend a dime on merch or overpriced refreshments and who has zero interest in associating with the other PJ-swag-clad dopes in the venue, I find the delayed start times a nuisance. Just because your dumbass rock-n-roll ancestors didn't stick to a schedule doesn't mean that there's some noble tradition to be carried on by sitting on your ass getting drunk in a dressing room while 10,000+ people sit around waiting for you to give them what they paid for. Break the cycle, buy a watch, and quit wasting my fucking time -- I've got a long drive home.

When did you get so grouchy?

lol we established a couple weeks ago that KD turned into a grump when he hit 35.

Geezes. The curmudgeon contingent on RM is strong.

Don’t think TC has been played in Boston/Mass for a really long time.

I'm just here to say that the last two shows I went to, I left at the start of the last song so I could beat traffic. And I had the next day off both times. 25 YO me would really make fun of the 37 YO me.


Carry on. Or don't. idc.

I mean, if they were the Boston shows, you missed YL and RitFW, not a big deal at all.
