nichobert Certain songs - Possum, really, get played a ton for a reason. People kirk out during Possum. And a lot of them have melodic detours as long as that funk jam in Its Ice that are worth hearing.

Number Line, I think Trey just REALLY likes playing that solo and singing it. The big reason they played Bouncing and Sample and Free and Sparkle and If I Could and Heavy Things all the time had much more to do with then being excellently written songs than being more noob-friendly than some of their other short songs. I wish they'd play an 8 minute Heavy Things instead of every second Number Line. Accomplishes the same thing as far as an uplifting solo goes, but with dark humor instead of birthday singing.

Like most things, I think they could fix it by taking them weird or even just slightly extending them every once in awhile.

I'm guessing some people would gripe like crazy about

Ghost (4:35)
Piper (5:00)
Bouncing Around The Room (12:05)->
Number Line (16:00)->
Heavy Things (11:30)
Joy (11:07)

"What happened to the ghost jam?? Bouncing, Number Line, Heavy Things, Joy? Ohmygerd that's the worst setlist ever!"
