I'll never understand why they don't rotate songs each night. There's no reason Dumpweed, Violence Cynical couldn't be rotated with other deep cuts each night.

And people who aren't fans just don't understand what is going on. Strangely enough though, I think toypaj deep cuts would go over well with casuals.

Deep cuts are always met with a lot of excitement at blink shows.  LOVED when they were doing acoustic versions of deep cuts in the last couple years while Tom was around, they were all amazing:

Don’t you ever take away my dumpweed, damn you! But yes any other song they could replace and I’d be fine. They definitely need to start playing more deep cuts. Sick of the greatest hits set list every year, that’s my biggest gripe about them.

I get why they think it would be difficult because they think they need the fancy light show and what not. But if i remember right they did rotate a couple during the 09 reunion tour. As long as you kept the same songs you're rotating it shouldn't be hard for the tech guys to keep up.

These both sound soo damn good. I loved these mini acoustic sets they use to do.

I honestly don't get it haha, there are plenty of giant bands playing with fancy light shows who play deep cuts. It's just a weird excuse they use.

They definitely play too few deep cuts, and have been that way for years, but there is something undeniably special of being at a rare show where they do surprise you with such songs.

I love the acoustics. I wish they'd do more acoustic stuff live, because it's so rare for blink. It still blows my mind that I got to see Wasting Time acoustic last fall. So cool.

If I were in a huge band, I would just do a special low budget tour in smaller venues every couple years advertised as such to play lesser known songs of mine.

yo la tengo literally has a wheel they spin with deep cuts and they play whatever it lands on. blink never had the balls to do anything that clever.

Blink could/can barely manage to play the songs they have planned, something like this would only end in tears and disappointment.

Sad but true.

Mark has been playing any song in his catalogue off the top of his head on twitch. If they practiced a little, they could easily do it. They’re professionals that have been playing the same 50 songs their entire adult life that are all easy to play. They lean into being terrible musicians more than they are.

You're giving them too much credit, wouldn't shock me if Marks been having a little practise before streams.
