Question
Does dave not play Ill Back You Up anymore for personal reasons or am i just way off because looking at his set lists i do not see it very much?

Answer
Hi Zach,
Dave played I'll Back You Up once on a short solo tour in England this spring, but otherwise it's been largely absent from sets in the past few years.  I think the only reason for this is that there are many songs in the DMB catalog that don't get played frequently, or get played only certain years when Dave or the band feel like playing them.  I'm sure it will be back, though possibly only rarely.
