good!!

as with many of you, i wouldve MUCH rather had them play something (else) from "and then there were three" or even better a "lamb lies down on broadway" with vocals instead of "mama" and "throwing it all away", but at least what theyre replacing ISNT "ripples".

it may sound crazy, but that wouldve ticked me off to the point of not wanting to go.
i can handle "second home" being cut out, but for God's (and the rest of our) sake leave "ripples" in there for all of us that love the older stuff.
thats the ONE song that really pays tribute to the older fan, as it hasnt been played in forever. "carpet crawlers" is certainly a nice tribute as well, especially in the closing slot, but its been played on plenty of tours.

anyway, im disappointed there arent MORE songs like "ripples" (how about phil singing "selling england by the pound"? hell, how about doing "the silent sun"!!!) on the setlist, but that one alone gives me goosebumps thinking about it.
here's to hoping it stays.
