For me, that whole mid-2000s era of new songs is underwhelming (the same era of new music that gave us the pile of poop that is Stand Up, mind you.) These aren't exactly great moments in the DMB catalog. I get that liberations are exciting, but I'd just assume see any other songs liberated than these.

I'd rather see Help Myself or PFWYG or Dreaming Tree or Kit Kat or even some of the left-behind stuff from Come Tomorrow (Come On, Come Tomorrow, Virginia, etc.) than these leftover unreleased songs from (what I feel to be) a mediocre era of creativity for the band.
I believe the reception to the 2006 songs are really positive particularly compared to any songs on Stand Up (aside from Hello Again).

Shotgun
Break Free
Idea of You
Kill the King
Can't Stop (divisive)

These were all well received and I'd welcome any at a show except for Can't Stop.
