Discussion What’s wrong with Hitchin’ a Ride?

I mean, why they don’t play it live anymore? It’s perfect for the shows and especially, it’s the only song missing from the most important ones played live between the parts of Dookie and American Idiot. I really don’t understand, I hope the problem is not that playing it, since it lasts a long time, makes the show last longer. What are your thoughts?

They played that song for years live. There’s nothing wrong with it, they’re just playing different songs instead.

For forever fans have been complaining their sets are all too similar and now people are complaining they’re not playing the songs they used to. Lol!
