Yesterday I was driving around and did a listen to Surrender (Album). And suddenly I was thinking, have they ever played Surrender (song) live? And forward i wonder, what songs have they never played live? For example I can't remember hearing Alive Alone, Not Another Drugstore or The Rock Drill live. Has anyone got an complete list of songs that never come through a speaker on stage? (live, not dj sets)

unfuck the world please

Too many worthy songs haven't been played yet. Among those is Galaxy Bounce (I never cease to address this gruesome impudence), Pioneer Skies (only as a skeleton beat for the early IBGIA trial run), Lost in the K-Hole, Marvo Ging (which I would  really like to hear as an adapted live version) and a bunch of their calmer works like Alive Alone, Orange Wedge or Harpoons etc.

"You cannot eat money, oh no. You cannot eat money, oh no. When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, you cannot eat money, oh no."
— Aurora (The Seed)

Not another drugstore was sort of played live, during the 96 tour. Not the whole song, but beats, and the opening synth loop.

Can you imagine ..... an extra-terrestrial disc jockey? Like, listening to radio waves from space? It was unbelievable!

No Geography:
- Bango


Bango's bassline was played during the climax of Eve Of Destruction live (you'd have to listen closely though), and the ending of Bango was played during the Elektrobank segue leading into No Geography

An early In Dust We Trust version was spotted on a 1994 recording of them live when they were known as The Dust Brothers also
And I feel like I'm dreaming...and I feel like I'm dreaming...

the `ending of bango' is just the intro of no geo—but on the album it's mixed =P
Eight or over.

Damn I'd love to hear the K-Hole Live ;-;
it's one of my fav's
Where do I start?
Where do I begin?

Denmark and The Universe Sent Me really deserve live experiments.

I always thought Pioneer Skies would have been a great encour tune before the feel. A wasted opportunity in the come with us era

I recall reading one or two live reviews during CWU where people said they played Galaxy Bounce as an encore, but I'm not sure if this was an inaccuracy on the reviewer's part...
