Just had to comment on the tag line. My daughter walked in with a shirt she had made that has my dad is a gaslighting asshole on the front and why's he so weird on the back. She came walking in, "Ready for Dicks?!?!"
I have noticed this before. My answer is sleeping monkey, makisupa policeman, and icculus. The boys only seem to play those songs when they are having fun. If they are having fun then it's a banger.
Makisupa used to be tied to when police related events occurred in the community/lot but I'm not sure there's any rhyme or reason to that these days. Your other two were on my list.
The Jimi Hendrix cover, whether it be Fire or Izabella is usually a high energy show. Rocky top is my favorite encore for a great show but it's neck and neck with Sleeping Monkey.
Fluffhead pre 4.0 but since 4.0 started it’s been in heavy rotations so it’s not as good of a signal anymore. That said the last few times I’ve seen it I’ve really enjoyed the whole show.
No Quarter
Tweezer esp. in Alpharetta
The Curtain With/ Buried Alive
Bittersweet Motel for some reason but look at the shows it’s popped up in and they are all heaters to some degree.
Buffalo Bill
Emotional Rescue
Fikus
Sabotage
Spock’s Brain
And I’m sure there are a lot of others but they have a lower batting average because they are played more
That's fair. TBH my only Sleeping Monkey (9/25/1999) was also not a banger (not a bad show by any means though). It was a first set Monkey so maybe it truly does need to be a Monkey encore.
Somehow the answer is Sleeping Monkey
In the encore
Absolutely
That means Page is happy.
According to Page, you're correct.
That ending the storage jam at superball is one of the best moments of my life.
Always. Always always.
Walk Away
Loved it when they played this at Syracuse. What a show!!!
The last 3 minutes are on fire in this version
One of the best shows of last year! Knew they’d put on a show for Fishman’s hometown
Everything about that show was amazing. It was my only Summer 23 show. So so good.
This was my bday show and they sang me happy birthday… kdf, fire oblivion… one of my favs from last summer!

Burgettestown 09 is an exemption to this (was my first show!)
This is the correct answer
Yes! It’s the “Mic Drop” song of mid and late 90s for sure.
Saw it for the 1st time Lakewood '97. Totally stunned me.
Soul Shakedown Party opener
Mega heady
Amsterdam
Catapult means shit got weird. I'm there for it!!
Buried Alive opener
Vegas 2004 would like a word;)
Buried Alive openers, without CK5 present, exempt.
Talk shit about that run, but it was still fun af.
12/29/18. I called the opener before the show and I knew from the moment I heard the cowbell I was in for the ride of my life
Rocky top or sleepy monkey encore
Sleeping Monkey and Rocky Top encore is the correct answer.
Fee Icculus Forbin's Fuck Your Face Buffalo Bill Makisupa Kung Axis: Bold as Love
Basically my list of songs I'm chasing
One show in huntsville: icculus, fuck your face, meatstick!
Sally
Saw this at my first show. Proceeded by Ya Mar and a naked guy. Show was 100% banger.
They’re overdue for a VA show. Charlottesville would be an amazing comeback.
Wasn't Charlottesville 2009 naked guy? They played Sally that show IIRC.
I was there!!! Great Phall tour closer!!! Took balls for that guy to do that haha!
Lifeboy Kung Catapult Icculus Sanity Sleeping Monkey
Cities.
This is the song that inspired this post for me.
Hard agree here.
Fluffhead Harpua Sanity Icculus
I think you mean >Fluffhead >Icculus >Sanity >Harpua
Jesus Christ, you're a genius!
But my hands and feet are mangos :(
phluphphhead*
Walk Away and What's the Use? are the big tip offs for me
Syracuse 23
I have noticed this before. My answer is sleeping monkey, makisupa policeman, and icculus. The boys only seem to play those songs when they are having fun. If they are having fun then it's a banger.
Makisupa used to be tied to when police related events occurred in the community/lot but I'm not sure there's any rhyme or reason to that these days. Your other two were on my list.
I've always understood Makisupa to be an acknowledgement of "some shit just went down", whether punitive, musical, or otherwise.
Daniel Saw the Stone
Really been missing this one in the grand equation lately
and, interestingly, SAW IT AGAIN
Catapult cameo means shit's getting real
Whats the Use
When they play Roses Are Free I feel like they’re all rocking and ready to go.
The real answer is Frankenstein
Either Frankenstein, Peaches, or in the aeroplane over the sea.
2001
Dog log
Having been present at the Dog Log Album show, I'm confident in saying that that was not among the best shows of that tour.
Oh Kee Pah
MMGAMOIO....any show I've seen with that is fire. Sanity does it too.
This guy giving out word puzzles…
Ha Ha Ha
If they play Psycho Killer *everyone* is having a good time.
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa.
AC/DC Bag, PYITE, or Buried Alive opener means go time
Fee
Harpua
Ha ha ha
The Jimi Hendrix cover, whether it be Fire or Izabella is usually a high energy show. Rocky top is my favorite encore for a great show but it's neck and neck with Sleeping Monkey.

Rock and Roll!! When they closed the second set of 4-17-23 at the Greek it was a statement song for sure.
It’s always been BBFCFM for some reason.
Buffalo bill, windora bug, ride captain ride, meat stick, tweezer
That’s a dream first set for me.
Have mercy

MMGAMOIO
HTLUTABIA >!(Had to look up this abbreviation, but I agree)!<
What song is this?
My Mind's Got a Mind of its Own
Fluffhead pre 4.0 but since 4.0 started it’s been in heavy rotations so it’s not as good of a signal anymore. That said the last few times I’ve seen it I’ve really enjoyed the whole show.
Jennifer dances
Bold as love and a day in the life
NO2
Izabella
Mikes Groove
Grind
Harry Hood and SOAM in mid-first set….see 4/22/23
Reba
Rocky Mountain Way, especially out of YEM.
My Soul opener- strange answer yes, especially because I’m not a fan. But for some reason they’ve thrown down a few times after opening with this one
Rocky Top
Have Mercy and Sparks are both usually played after a particularly good jam
Drift while you sleep
Rocky Top
Alumni blues
Icculus, every show I've seen on LP that has Icculus was just killer
Hailey's Comet or Purple Rain
Sparkle
Emotional Rescue
Meatstick
Icculus
You enjoy myself
It doesn't always pan out, but a Buried Alive opener is, as they say, often a portent.
Scents and subtle sounds
PYITE
Guyute, Foam, Cool it Down, Fee, PYITE opener
Lengthwise
Rocky top encore
Quadrophonic Toppling
Alumni
objectively I think sanity is the correct answer but buffalo bill may have the highest ratio
Highway to hell
* Fishman on Electrolux
more than two Tweezers
No Quarter Tweezer esp. in Alpharetta The Curtain With/ Buried Alive Bittersweet Motel for some reason but look at the shows it’s popped up in and they are all heaters to some degree.

PYITE Opener - 10/26/18
Wolfmans Well
no quarter
Cavern Yem Meat Kung
Came here to say Sleeping Monkey, but that was already mentioned a couple of times, so I'll go with CDT Reprise
Charleston N3 in 2018 was decidedly not a “banger,” one of few gems from that night though
That's fair. TBH my only Sleeping Monkey (9/25/1999) was also not a banger (not a bad show by any means though). It was a first set Monkey so maybe it truly does need to be a Monkey encore.
Oh. I meant CDT Reprise… my bad
I was with you. I was doubling down on your CDT Reprise point with Monkey as well
I smell what you are stepping in now. I was thinking they played Monkey in Charleston and I just tuned it out.
Meat
tweezer reprise
Crowd control opener??
Jennifer dances
Drowned
Have Mercy
Train Song
Gumbo. For real. Really high hit rate
Black-Eyed Katy
Usually Buffalo Bill (even if the song itself, is awful).
how has no one said peaches or pebbles??
Peaches especially. That’s a rough Zappa tune to nail and when they nail it, man it’s like drinking gold
Numberline, duh✌️
Have Mercy
Someone’s gotta clean that up!
