The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I was just listening to the Benaroya boot this morning and looking at the packaging, I noticed the setlist had "I've Been Everywhere," made famous by Johnny Cash, on it, thought it wasn't played. This reminded me of seeing a cover of Stereolab's "Noise of Carpet" on a 2000 setlist (Dallas, I think?). What other songs have appeared on setlists or soundcheck but were never played?

They soundchecked Noise of Carpet at Cuyahoga Falls in 1998. I don't think there's a great recording of it anywhere, but you can hear it here: https://tinyurl.com/jvtcd5

Wow, I had absolutely no idea they'd ever attempted the full song!

Wow! Thanks for sharing. Pretty cool to hear them attempted. I think they should have changed the key for Ed to sing a little higher in his register. I will send them a note.

This is nuts.
I remember setlist-watching back in '98 and someone said they'd played it in the soundcheck and it was like, "Well, I'll believe that when I hear it." I think it was about a year later that I tracked down a tape. I think it didn't circulate much since the sound isn't fantastic. More of a curiosity to listen to once or twice. Still glad the taper was able to capture it!
On inside of the 2000-10-05 Toronto official bootleg (AMAZING show btw), 'Black Diamond' is on the setlist as a potential encore song (interestingly the setlist is written by Jeff, not Eddie). Wasn't actually played until the 2007 Vic Theatre show.

Good memories. Met Ed skateboarding in the parking lot before the show.... So much excitement back then...travelling before college seeing a bunch of shows and a bunch of the US I had never been to.
