    Seriously, I've yet to hear a clunker yarn song. They're all really solid.

    My favorite song changes every time one song ends and another song begin.

    True that reckless C!

    I love all the songs, but any song where Andrew is given space to let his "soul shine" is my favorite. His playing takes me to outerspace in the way Trey, Warren, Jerry and Derek can. He is really passionate and absorbing to watch, cant get enough dancing to his playing.

    BUMP for old time's sake.

    When this thread was started we didn't have several of the new tunes so:

    Southern Rock Song
    Bottle Of Wine
    Tired of Everything
    Desparate Amy
    Daydream


    ..........for starters ;)

    Since I am relatively new I am going to add a few here, the hard part is keeping the list short.
    Don't Break My Heart Again
    Abilene
    Tired of Everything
    Almost Home
    On the Road
    New York City Found

    I could go on for awhile and the list probably changes every few days but this is my current feeling.

    I'm with earlb and tous, it keeps changing and whatever they play next

    Here's my current list:

    DBMHA
    Desperate Amy
    Bring me Down (studio version especially)
    Abilene
    It's all over Now
    These bars don't look too friendly
    Time Burns on
    Final Bow
    Strikes and gutters
    Lonely Old man (Southern Rock song)
    and most recently, Shine a light on

    "Shine a light on" is tremendous, it's a happy, funny, hopeful, religious ?, and an audience participation song !!

    Shine a Light On
    On the Road
    Desperate Amy

    My current top picks:

    The Dirt Road
    The Dirt Road
    The Dirt Road

    Wow......what a gem~
  20.  
    Bump

    Maybe You're Mine
    Along The Way
    When The Summer Ends
    That's Just Fine

    ...The Dirt Road is still on the list but I gotta say, I'm not necessarily sold on where this one's progressed to. Check out this one, according to Blake's intro, the first one played: http://www.archive.org/details/Yarn2011-05-20 It's slinky and mysterious with a tad of Rod's late psychedelia later on. It builds up not before holding a few moments in time. Blake wasn't ready with the "wholes and dealers" line so both use "more of the same" but instrumentally, it's just silly.

    On 6/18/11, Blake again remarks that this is the second time played and that it "felt a little better" than the previous time http://www.archive.org/details/Yarn2011-06-18 It seemed more polished to me but it didn't imo, best the first one. It was missing some of its edgyness.

    By the end of the year it became this amped up little number: http://www.archive.org/details/Yarn2011-12-08

    .....that first one was so slow and slinky with killer riffs and Rod bringing psycedelics. It's still a good song in any tempo but I sure wish the guys would consider WWJD? ...which means of course, what would Jerry do? Slow that sucker back down boys; we ain't goin' anywhere ;)

    I agree with you RC. I like the slow version better than the up tempo one. Much the same way I like the slower version of Can't Slow Down. My two favorite versions of Dirt Road are 4: http://www.archive.org/details/yarn2011-06-25.CA-14 and the one he did with Andrew's band, the first time he played it live: http://www.archive.org/details/AHB2011-05-16 . Have a good week peeps.

    I dunno gang - I actually like uptempo version best! I feel like the driving tempo matches the lyrics better - restless soul, on a relentless, desperate search... Plus I like that tempo going into the jams. BUT I do agree with tous' earlier comment about the slow version of Can't Slow Down - love the groove there!

    And I'm not even going to try to pick a short list of favs... that would be way too hard! :)

    Did you go back and listen to the 5/20? If you don't prefer that version, you need to work on your drug intake young lady.

    Slow version of Can't Slow Down....agreed 100% there badlab.

    I think it'd be cool if they started out slow for a verse or two then amped it up.

    "Did you go back and listen to the 5/20? If you don't prefer that version, you need to work on your drug intake young lady."

    I will start adjusting the meds immediately, RC! ;)

    Here's a nice video of the slow Dirt Road for y'alls viewing pleasure... :)
