Hearts Breaking Even live?
 

So today I watched a video where Jon talked about all songs on "These Days" album and he said he really looked forward to playing Hearts Breaking Even live . So why was it never played live?

No idea, man...
It's one of my traumas lol
I really love this song, second best of the album for me. It's rly a shame...

Man, I wish they played it live at least once! One of my fave BJ songs ever!

I guess the hearts were mended on the way, that's why the song was dropped from the setlists *yay!* :P

It has some high notes, even for 95 Jon, so it was probably not played to protect Jon voice on tour.

High notes my ass, always is even higher and they played it many times during 95/96

Always was a hit. Not a good comparison at all.

Exactly. Perhaps Jon felt it wasn't worth it, because not only it wasn't a hit (like Always), nor an "epic" song (like My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms).

Even in the mid 90s he was probably aware of his limitations and knew he had to pace himself.

If I remember it right it was sounchecked back on the TD Tour but never picked. I kind of get it though. I love the song, but it's neither upbeat enough to be a fast pace song, and it's not slow enough to be a ballad. Wouldn't add much for the show and on top of that it has some of the most crazy notes I've heard Jon sing on an album.

They could also play If That's What It Takes, even if it's acoustic.

I think they should make an unplugged playing this:
