What’s a reasonable setlist for this tour? Options

[Existentialist]

We all want an awesome long setlist full of deeper cuts.

Live wants a basic shorter setlist that appeals to the masses.

Are they necessarily fully mutually exclusive or is there not some common ground?

Here’s my suggestion, all things considered; what are yours?

1. AOY
2. Top OR Stage
3. I Alone
4. Shit Towne
5. Operation Spirit OR PLOTR OR BOG
6. STD
7. HMU OR Brother
8. TDC
9. Iris OR TBD OR POD OR GHGW
10. LC

11. TDAOC OR song not played in slot 2 OR HPD OR skip to 12 if tired
12. LJ
13. WD

I think 10,000 Years, Peace Is Now is the most relevant, and after they didn’t play it at the NYE York reunion show, I knew to stop wishing for it. Now, Ed has that spiel every night about the times we are living in, and sending Lightning Crashes out as a prayer... can you imagine if one night they’d replace Heaven with 10,000, and he’d send it out as a prayer? The world is burning down, can’t you smell the smoke in the air?” Oh my God, if they’d just play that perfect song at this time, I’d bawl my eyes out. Guess I’m still wishing for it, tbh.

Agreed! These songs are so relevant right now! Why as an artist would you not just be dying to play them?! It makes me absolutely mental!!

I honestly believe they don't even think about it.

I agree. The band members very likely think about those songs much less than the real fans.

I was at the Jones Beach show last night. I’ll send a review later.
