Why doesn't the band play Trippin' Billies live anymore?

I've seen two DVDs so far and looked at the set list for others and with the exception of Red Rocks, I don't see them playing that song anymore.

Anyone know if there's a reason why?

The DVD's aren't an accurate representation of what the band plays now - they're a representation of what some marketing guru thinks young people will buy a DVD for.

you'd have to look at a tour overall. There aren't any 2003 official releases (except CP, but that's just one show), nor any 2002. They played Billies a good number of times both years.

I was at the Home Depot Center last year(7-27-04) 4th row DEAD center

and they played TB as the encore. Everyone in like the first ten rows was jumping up and down throughout the whole song. It was fuckin amazing; so much energy and it seemed like everyone was a HUGE DMB fan. It reminded me of the House Of Pain video. "Jump up jump up and get down", but with much better music

they still do billies. Those DVD's dont have a great representation of DMB's work, if u look at them they have similar setlists.

Funny how different people's perceptions are. I've seen Billies the past three shows in a row (not including D&F). I would have gladly traded it for a kick ass Ants or Two Step at the Gorge last Summer ( they did both those songs the first night and I was at the second...).

They did an ants intro at 9/9/03. carter started on the drum, and i was like "THEY ARE NOT OPENING WITH ANTS!"

sure enough...nice long funk intro and full on ants. i'd rather see ants then billies close a show IMO.

Billies is a staple that doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon and it's still a classic!!
