I have never seen this kind of poll done before so I decided to make one. My vote goes to Space-Dye Vest: as I've said already, it's a very unique song for DT, the samples don't feel out-of-place and I'm into the dark mood the song creates. I can already guess the winner! ;D However, there are also many SDV dislikers so the results can be interesting.

Are there not many more DT songs that have not been played live?
Legit question btw. I just thought there would be more than that.

I don't really like anything on that list enough to want them wasting valuable set time. But I'll go with TSF, because at least it's a medley of good songs.

I voted for the shattered fortress because my 12 step suite/whole thing being played live dream is and will always continue to be there but as a sidenote I would love to have seen the JP TBOT solo live from any vantage point

I looked at the DT FAQ and it only mentions SDV and DLPM as it hasn't been updated in some time, so I added TBOT and TSF to the list. I'm not counting stuff like "John Thinks He's Yngwie Song" and "Gnos Sdrawkcab"! :lol

If you've looked into it, I don't doubt you, it's just one of those things that I would have thought would have been a longer list. But I guess DT have a pretty good record for playing almost all of their songs, which is one thing I've always liked about them.

As have I, but I don't think they've played "Hell's Kitchen" as a song by itself, only as part of a medley (the "Instrumedley"). Also, is it too soon to add the ADTOE songs not-yet-played on this tour? Or should we wait on those considering the tour is still going on?

Oddly enough, all 6 Majesty Demo songs have been played live, as well as "Cry For Freedom"... should we count "The School Song" and/or "Resurrection Of Ernie"?

Yes they have, but only a handful of times during the FII tour.

Hell no.

BTW, my vote goes to Don't Look Past Me by miles and miles.

Space Dye Vest of course, but shouldn't This Is the Life and Lost Not Forgotten be included?

Space Dye Vest didn't even have to think about it.

what about songs like Anna Lee and Disappear?                                            I have to go with Don't Look Past Me, it amazes me how that song has never been played

They've both been played live, although Disappear was only played like 3 or 5 times, and Anna Lee hasn't been played since the FII tour and MP said that he thought of it as a Derek song, so they'd never played it with Jordan. No reason that would be the case now that MP isn't in charge of setlists.
Both should definitely be pulled out live though. :tup

"Space-Dye Vest" is my favorite song of all-time, so this was an easy choice for me.

Don't Look Past Me, by a pretty long shot.

@Blob: Disappear was only played twice  :'( (both captured on various recording, though)

Indeed - Live At Budokan being the official one, and the other being the DT International Fan Club release A Sort Of Homecoming, which features Eugene Friesen on violin/cello on "Disappear", as well as "Vacant" and "Stream Of Consciousness".

Does ASOH also includes Disappear? I can't remember now, I usually go back to the best sounding bootleg of the night. There's the DVD available, also, I've uploaded the clip on youtube a few weeks ago.
