The title song for the tour debuted in Texas and was played at the next few shows, including the Jazz Fest, but hasn't been played since. What's up? I really liked that simple tune.
Ideas? Info??
Thx for any insight on this.

Hi Hugs..
I live just North a bit (Boise)
I am sure that the song was played at MSG last week..

thanks for that news. the set list i was looking at didn't have the msg show yet so i couldn't tell.

Maybe he dropped it because he realized how bad the song is. It's right up there with Here We Are for giving himself and his fans a pat on the back. Now, if they were jingles (which they pretty much are), I'm sure they would achieve the desired affect. Maybe it'll show up in a commercial for Margaritaville, Inc.

I don't get to listen to a lot of shows, but I'm thinking maybe he "replaced" it with "We're Still Here" that he's done in concert at Frisco and Raleigh this year?

umm... add more coffee to the system auntie! Unless it's just me, I think you just said Jimmy replaced "We're Still Here" with "We're Still Here"!

Holy Toledo! What's that song he's done at the shows I've seen this year then?????? It seems very similar in "tone" but I think it's a bit more clever. Tiki, you "understand" me...what song am I thinking of????

Oh Hell no! C'mon Larry! You are both those shows too! Help me remember!!

We're Still Here is the new song he was doing. He dropped it from the setlist for a couple of shows but did it again at Madison Square Garden last Thursday. I don't think he did it in Philly Saturday night. At least I don't remember hearing it. I don't care for the song, it sounds like a work in progress.

So far it's been played 6 out of 11 times on the current tour:

06-12-2008: Madison Square Garden - New York, NY
05-03-2008: New Orleans Jazz Festival - New Orleans, LA
04-29-2008: Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre - Charlotte, NC
04-26-2008: Pizza Hut Park - Frisco, TX
04-24-2008: Verizon Wireless Amphitheater - St Louis, MO
04-21-2008: Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion - Houston, TX

Maybe I'm thinking that he "replaced" "Here We Are" with "We're Still Here"????

(starting second cup of coffee as we speak)

If it is it's going to need a lot of work. Like a complete overhaul.

yes, it's rough, and yes, it's simple and i really like it . a lot.
i think it's refreshing to have a song that's about the ride, a song that's not completely perfect and yes, still something of a work in progress.
i hope i get to hear it live.

its not a very good song, i saw him do it at msg last week.here we are is much better.

Songs that are about pats on the back are in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. That's where they belong.

Hilarious movie.

Yes.

That is a great movie!

the title of the tour, the year of still here, might lead one to think that it's the last year being here. but the lyrics of the song, we're still here, seem more forward thinking, like there's no intention to quit touring, but rather there is reveling in still being able to do so. "we're still making records, we still tour every year"...
