Song you don't want to hear.

I know this has been covered many times, but with the next leg of the summer tour starting, I just don't want to hear Cheeseburger. I know he has to play it, for the casual fans, but give me a break.

Gotta keep fins. Watching 20,000 people move their "fins" to the left, then to the right is such an awesome sight!

AMEN!!!

Also:
Cheeseburger In Paradise.
For CHRIST'S SAKE, stop playing this one already, and let the fair weather fans be damned.

License To Chill.
Not real crazy about that one.

Scarlet Begonias.
Ditto. If he wants to play a Greatful Dead Cover, play "Uncle John's Band."
FANTASTIC song, and I love Jimmy's version on the "Fruitcakes" album.

Fool Button.
I never heard this one live and I hope I never do.

I Used To Have Money One Time.
Ditto.

W.D.W.G.D.A.S.
It was fun years ago, but it's been played to death as much as Fins and C.I.P. He skipped this one in Honolulu a couple years ago, and nobody complained. W.D.W.G.D.A.S.-R.I.P.

For me, I could really go for him dropping "Brown Eyed Girl". That song for some reason has gotten WAY too much play time every year. Also, I'd like to see him play Southern Cross more in the standard set list, and free up some more space in the encores to play something a little more obscure, like: Miss You So Badly, Life is Just a Tire Swing, or one of my favorite Buffett songs: LONE PALM!!! That song would be great live acoustic with Mac and Jake.

I gotta keep Fins in the set list due to the fact that its always awesome too see all those people with those fins up!! I could go without CIP!!

PHINS up!!

Personally I could do without hearing W.D.W.G.D.A.S. ever again.

I would rather make room for Southern Cross, Little Miss Magic and God's Own Drunk!

UGH

I can live with the rest, I'm a pretty new fan and I only go to one concert a year and I purposely don't listen to many before I go so I'm not really sick of anything. But I've never ever liked PoW - again - UGH

Eliminate anything from the 'Songs You Know By Heart' collection. They are so unbelievably overplayed at the shows!!!!!
Bubba has such an incredible catalogue of great songs. I can go hours and hours without including any SYKBH tunes.
Who are these 'casual' fans he's pandering to, anyway? Are they paying $200+ per ticket for Madison Square Garden? I think not. How about playing something for us, Jimmy. You know, your true fans who have supported you forever????
The holidays are here and I have great gifts for your Parrothead friends & family! Please check out my fun and cool stuff--shirts, hats, stickers, mouse pads, clocks, kids wear, etc:

If you get rid of the whole yellow album, then what about APLAF? I never get tired of hearing that one. That's about the only one I'd miss.

You would eliminate He Went to Paris too. I realize it's not a concert standard. I'm guessing if most of us are honest, it was the "Yellow Album" that got us all started.
