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.

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

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.
