I've only seen a handful of shows, so I've got many songs I'd still love to hear. But Emperor Penguin and Vapour Trails top my list.
On the "is it realistic?" front, I found this setlist from Erie last year really interesting for some of the gems (including Inevitability of Death and Emperor Penguin) that were penciled in the top-right corner. A peek inside Gordie's brain (that's his handwriting, right?) at to what, at least back in May 2007, he would perhaps consider thinking possibly about maybe including on a setlist:

Of the list, Inevitability of Death made it into that night's show, while everyone outside of Cleveland is still waiting for Emperor Penguin to show up again.

For me it is Fight and Cordelia.
I have just missed Cordelia a couple of times - but I have not even come close to Fight.

Quality thread :thumb:
I've been to between 30-40 shows and would like to see Cordelia, El Dorado, We'll Go Too, or Let's Stay Engaged sometime (those are somewhat realistic).

I'm glad people are enjoying the thread.
Just to make a general comment on something a few people have mentioned...the "setlist audible" can be one of the greatest things, or in some cases some of the worst. Especially when it involves one of your "dream songs".
One thing is for sure though, set lists like the summer fling shows and many of the early club shows for the World Container tour really leave the door open for almost anything. I heard Flamenco, The Rules, Tiger The Lion, IOD, The Direwolf and many other rare cuts in the early part of this tour. Like many have said, it keeps you coming back.

Also, I've never seen Twist My Arm...
That'd be cool to see. Although, I realize that it wouldn't be Hipstory or anything.
But still, all that aside... Emperor Penguin.

I have been lucky enough to see them at least once on every tour. It looks like I've seen all the gems except Gus the Polar bear from Central Park, Vapor Trails and Goodnight Josephine.

Long Time Running eluded me for quite awhile. Finally played it at the last show I was at in Vancouver. Definately my favourite "chill" Hip song

I would give almost anything to hear "Put It Off". I always enjoyed it on the album, but my appreciation skyrocketed after hearing it on SOTD a couple of years ago.
I'd also love to hear "Pigeon Camera"...
I have a feeling that I may spend the rest of my days devoid of hearing either...

25 shows only heard it once, thats just not enough. Still waiting for Born In The Water, time to dust it off boys.
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”
