Shotgun was the third song to debut on the 2006 Summer Tour. It's one of two songs that Dave plays with a Veillette soprano 12-string (The Idea of You being the other). Its first two performances were the main riff repeated in Loving Wings and Proudest Monkey style from start to finish. In Hershey on June 23, 2006, after work in soundchecks, a new intro and outro were played with the core riff remaining to form the meat of the song. While the performance was uncomfortable, the new potential was obvious. Shotgun was absent from setlists, but present at more than a handful of a soundchecks until it finally "re-debuted" on August 16, 2006 in Antioch with a new structure employing the intro and outro, and stayed strong through the rest of the tour.
