Ha! I like this thread, probably because I too have been chasing 50 Mission Cap (only 11 shows though). I was at the Bobcaygeon show, but didn't see the 2nd encore.
And I saw them in Salamanca last year, their set list included 50 Mission Cap in the encore, but they didn't end up playing it.
Other than that, here are I few I'd love to see , even though they probably won't play them any time soon.
Highway Girl
Cordelia
Emperor Penguin
I'm not really 'chasing' Fifty-Mission Cap, I just figured it was the most 'common' song that I haven't seen.
If we want to get into chasing songs, #3 on your list is where I start.
Fifty-Mission Cap was on the Charlottetown 2008 setlist, but they played Blow At High Dough instead. That is not as crushing as seeing Freak Turbulence on the setlist for Fredericton 2007, and they played Courage instead.
8...Fifty Mission Cap
8...Locked in the Trunk of a Car
33 Leave (although I heard them do it at a soundcheck once...)
Rory
Halifax
It took me 37 to hear Thugs, finally heard it in Oshawa '13.
17 Inch an Hour
After 17 shows, i've heard Thugs once. I'd picked that one to definitely hear again.
17 and no 'inevitability of death' or 'something on'.

No IOD, but caught Something On in Charlottetown 06
13 shows and no Cordelia (the name of one of my daughters btw)

Do you ever call the other daughter Cordelia by accident, and then she turns to you and says: "I'm not Cordelia"

lmfao,thx needed that.
20 shows, never seen Thugs, IOD or Cordelia and I doubt I ever will.
I've been to 21 shows and have never heard 38 Years Old..... I seen two shows on the 07 tour (when they played it the most) and I didn't get it. One of the most underplayed and coolest songs in the Hip catalog IMO.
I can't complain though, I've been very lucky to have gotten all the above mentioned at least once (except Leave and Highway Girl...which is about as rare as you can get).
