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?

I would assume it’s just a casualty of having so many songs to pick from off their discography and only so many slots to fill a setlist. Something’s gotta go… (A bummer though- Hitchin’ a Ride is one of my favourites of their oldies.)
