Great read.

While I can't argue that its not the jam vehicle it once was....one can't entirely overlook the fact that, in 3.0, the song has been a stalwart. It one of 20 or so songs that still appear on a 4 show rotation and the band has really focused on it as a high energy set closer. While you have a great chart of the times the song was the 1st or 2nd songs of the second set - I think it speaks volumes that the band so often chooses to end the first set with it. It also speaks volumes that the band ends so many second sets with it. So while it hasn't been jammed, the song has consistently shredded to end sets in 3.0.

I also wanted to throw out the 2010 NYE run. The band has 100's of songs. They had any number of songs to choose to bust out twice during that five night run. They chose two: Backwards Down the Number Line and David Bowie. I think that says alot about how they view the song.
