24 shows, don't think I have ever heard Inch an Hour.
Born in the Water I have heard though

Fun topic. My wife and I were doing the math pre-show in a Kingston pub, have seen them now for about 17 years and least one show per album since Road Apples. Add in there a few dates per some tours, and festival shows, and we’ve seen 20+ shows. My wife does one better than me, she saw them play her high school dance.

Lucky enough to see a lot of the now old songs when they were new, or songs when they were still works in progress (Nautical Disaster, 100th Meridian, Thugs, Gift Shop all come to mind).

There are some songs that elude me – Leave would be one, Emperor Penguin another (or I can’t remember it). I’d love to see some old gems again…Last of the Unplucked Gems, Eldorado, or more recent The Completists. Maybe over the next 17 years? At the same time, I could watch them play the same set night after night and not be disappointed.

Lets Stay Engaged, Fight, Cordelia. Less realistic Another Midnight would absolutely blow me away, to round out my list. Been to 18 shows and can honestly say I've been very lucky with great set lists, seen a bunch that people mentioned here

since they now play it semi-regularly, i'd have to say Fiddlers...but apart from that, i've seen pretty much every tune I'd like to hear...I've been lucky that way..now, if they'd stop playing Courage, I'd be really happy

28 shows and I still haven't seen a whole lot which is no surprise.
Bring it all Back, Fight, Cordelia.
The Road Apples triple threat that I keep going everywhere to see them just for a taste. I drive 10+ hours to see these tunes and they play 30 minutes from me at Bala and I couldn't go and boom... Cordelia. They know exactly what they are doing. What if they played all your never-seens... would you still go??? Sinclair is a smart cookie.

Yes

Well, I guess I'm not the only complainer on here. :?

Greasy Jungle! I've only seen them 4 times,, but still, i dunno, it's always been one of my favourites, and it was a big hit song...

other than that, Three Pistols, Vapour Trails, The Darkest One, No Threat, and The Dark Canuck.

The Bear, Thugs, Inch An Hour

Surprisingly, considering how many shows I've seen, Greasy Jungle has eluded me. Weird

Some have posted a few that I would love to hear, namely Bring it All Back and The Bear. Would also be sweet to hear Another Midnight or Trickle Down.

I hold no hope for any of 'em. They have NEVER played The Bear one single time (according to this database).

By the way, I case anyone is unaware, check it 'oat': <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hipbase.com/stats/songs.php?start_date=1987-07-02&end_date=2007-11-03&location_id=&venue_id=&set_id=">http://hipbase.com/stats/songs.php?star ... d=&set_id=</a><!-- m -->

Jenna: Getting Put it Off would be like hitting the lottery. But I think we stand a very good chance of hearing Pigeon Camera somewhere down the line. That's sort of a "go-to" gem for them.

edgoffin: Leave is one of my favorites, and I got to hear it (in Cleveland, I think) but didn't feel it came off too well. There's alot of 'studio treatment' on that track which, for me I guess, creates some of the great mood and atmosphere of that song which of course couldn't be duplicated onstage. And to me, it came off sounding a little disjointed and unfocused.

According to the massive song list on the 'base, it was played in Buffalo, Detroit, New York and Toronto. Did you see them in Detroit in '02, perhaps?

I can't believe how rare it was to hear 38 Years Old, based on that database. I guess we got a nice double treat in Br and Ktown.

22 shows...

would love to see them do Highway Girl, and Crack My Spine Like a Whip!!

I know that if they ever started playing it at a show I was at... I would definetly get emotional. I don't care. It would be the pinnacle of my "fanship" for The Hip.

What that song means to be is indescribable.

..let me guess you got drunk and wiped your ass with your sleeve?
