What 30 would you pick? - sherpa - 01-30-2013

Let's you had a million dollars that would be donated to the band's charity of choice - and in exchange the band would play a 30 song set of any songs in their catalogue of your choosing - what 30 songs would you pick?
I'm not saying pick the best setlist or even what order. Just what 30 songs would you want to hear?
I assume most would fall into the seldom played or seldom/never heard category for most people.
Here would be mine by album:
1. Another Midnight
2. Opiated
3. Cordelia
4. The Luxury
5. Fight
6. On The Verge
7. Emergency
8. Titanic Terrarium
9. Don't Wake Daddy
10. Apartment Song
11. Sherpa
12. Vapour Trails
13. Rules
14. Chagrin Falls
15. Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man
16. Emperor Penguin
17. Lake Fever
18. Putting Down
19. Stay
20. The Completists
21. Sharks
22. Toronto #4
23. Wild Mountain Honey
24. As I Wind Down The Pines
25. The Darkest One
26. Throwing Off Glass
27. The Dire Wolf
28. It Can't Be Nashville Every Night
29. Are We Family
30. The New Maybe

Re: What 30 would you pick? - sherpa - 02-01-2013

Marcus1970 your setlist is awesome in its originality - although i have to say personally having Silver Jet and Freak Turbulence in the same set would be far from ideal for me. The pairing would definitely help though

Nice job Marcus!

Re: What 30 would you pick? - fingernailsonhull - 02-02-2013

Any setlist that excludes Emperor Penguin is incorrect.

Re: What 30 would you pick? - SRK - 02-18-2013

The downside of this setlist is that I'd probably never go see them again after this, but still...I've given them enough money over the years that I'm sure they wouldn't be devastated. Still threw in a few warhorses, but they're the warhorses *I* like, damnit!
