It's a really good DMB album but requires rehearsal.

Which is a shame, because that record is the most "DMB sounding" record since Busted Stuff. I'm in the minority that always thought this album translated very well live, but they just chose not to focus on those tunes apparently. Whereas I didn't think Big Whiskey's tunes translated to the live setting as well. With the Away From the World songs sounding more like earlier DMB I always thought the songs reflected that same sentiment in a live setting, so I'm always cool with seeing those songs pop up in a set.
I'd be happy to see the following in regular rotation
Broken Things
Belly Belly Nice (WITH Boyd's solo being audible)
Mercy
Gaucho
Sweet (every now and then would be cool. It's a nice little song)
Rooftop
Snow Outside
Drunken Soldier
I can live without the other 3.
