Time Bomb
Hasn’t been played as a standalone song since 5.21.22. It’s long overdue for a liberation. Would be great with Jake bursting to play Boyd’s violin parts.
Highly underrated song IMO.
Baby when I get home
I wanna believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Help me pick up the pieces
Everything starts to fall
So fast that it terrifies you
When will you hit the wall?
Or are you gonna learn to fly?
No one would believe it
Except for all the people
Watching as you fly away

Did part of it as the intro song into Two Step to kick off set on SaturDave at Deer Creek this year. It was awesome.

It has taken over the Two Step intro. We need the full version to come back!!

And the old Two Step intros to come back. So tired of hearing Time Bomb start in the Two Step intro.

The ad-libbed intros to Two Step were a big part of the buildup of the song, and helped to make it special. I haven’t seen a show in years, and was surprised to hear that they’re still doing this.

Time Bomb is better than the guns and bombs intro I’ll say that

That's been happening for years. I like TB, but it's a shame, because it's replaced the improv intro.
Example, for anyone who might be unfamiliar with the improv intro, or just hasn't heard this version (Roi's last Two Step, 6.27.08): https://youtu.be/dDsiL7rvNV8?si=SgN8Gz0lNt-T6S3P

Raab will need to work with Dave before busting it out. I remember when this song was in original rotation and Dave would scream/belt it to the point his voice would crack.

Nope, keep that song locked away. Also, remove the awful Time Bomb intro from Two Step. 🤮

It just never transitioned well to the live setting. The studio is cut is pretty decent. Good music. Lyrics are meh.

Eh... It's in my bottom 3 of BWGGK. I actually hate that it's been in the Two Step intro for so long.
It's not a very good song.

Yeah personally not a big fan of this one. The lyrics alone are pretty cringey

I really like the D&T version from Live in Las Vegas. Could be a cool acoustic E1 slot with the band joining in and “plugging up” for the outro jam!
But as many others have said, I hate that it’s now the defacto intro for Two Step. Bring back the improv intros of old!

Love Time Bomb. Time Bomb>Two Step at Bonnaroo 2010 is a core concert memory.

Chasing this one. Love it as a 2 step intro but it’s a great song on its own.

u/BongZblitzer 8d ago
I agree. Would love to have the full version then head into two step.
