LOL @ ds1984
Already worried about if he will play Redbud Tree live or not? There is a double cd comming out! Maybe this Redbud Tree song is one of the worst songs on the album. ;-)
On the last album (GL) Mark left the best songs for the end. So why no wait till you heard the whole album before worrying which songs you would love to hear live?
I don't think in term of "best song" because Mark simply did not select the best song of the GL album for the 2010 tour.
That said to date Redbud Tree is the best I heard from the next album, what I heard in 2011 left me with cold feet.
So I just find Redbud Tree being in the same vein as GL (the song).
And by experience sometime it is quite difficult to succeed to be able to get some of the song live: GL in 2010, Postcard in 2008, Our Shangri-La in 2005... Since 2001 I attend at least 10 shows on the european leg so I was lucky to be able to get all these at least once but next time I may not be able to do that much and I know that this will be utterly frustrating to hear that he played this or that and not to be there (such as on the early part of the 2010 US leg).
