Re: Big Top Set List Suggestions
I think of the scene from the Johnny Cash bio-pic movie staring Joaquin Phoenix (the name of which I can't remember right now and it's freaking killing me!!!) when he goes to record a song and it's a traditional gospel song, and the guy gives him the brush off. An argument starts, and the guy says to him something along the lines of "If you had one song left to play before you died, what would that song be?"
That's the song that i want to hear you play this year.

Re: Big Top Set List Suggestions
well, 16 seconds on google. "Walk The Line" is the movie, and the scene is:
Sam Phillips: You know exactly what I'm telling you. We've already heard that song a hundred times. Just like that. Just... like... how... you.. sing it.
Johnny Cash: Well, you didn't let us bring it home.
Sam Phillips: Bring... bring it home? All right, let's bring it home. If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had one time to sing one song. Huh? One song that people would remember before you're dirt. One song that would let God know how you felt about your time here on Earth. One song that would sum you up. You tellin' me that's the song you'd sing? That same Jimmy Davis tune we hear on the radio all day, about your peace within, and how it's real, and how you're gonna shout it? Or... would you sing somethin' different. Somethin' real. Somethin' you felt. Cause I'm telling you right now, that's the kind of song that truly saves people. It ain't got nothin' to do with believin' in God, Mr. Cash. It has to do with believin' in yourself.

Im with everyone about Cheeseburger and Volcano. I would love for both of those to take a break. Now on the other hand I love "Southern Cross". My favorite song of all time. I will be in atlanta and any of these on the above part would make the show for me. The first two songs on this list would be great to hear.

Keeping this simple:
No Covers
No non-yellow album songs that have been played in the last 5 years of touring
Keep the Yellow Album Songs to a 7 song limit (trying to be realistic)
