Looking back at their previous tours, especially for No. 4 and Shangri-La, I never liked how short their sets were. It seemed like the band consciously decided to stick to the radio hits and the harder stuff. I hope they go back to the type of shows they did in support of Tiny Music. You really got your money's worth back then with a 25 song setlist and a good mix of songs from all their albums. With a 25 song setlist they'd be able to play 5 songs from each of their albums.
Here's my dream setlist:
1. Coma
2. Vasoline
3. Wicked Garden
4. Crackerman
5. Pop's Love Suicide
6. Lounge Fly
7. Bi-Polar Bear
8. Army Ants
9. Lady Picture Show
10. Big Bang Baby
(Acoustic)
11. Atlanta
12. Hello, It's Late
13. Adhesive
14. Seven Caged Tigers
15. No Memory (intro into) Sin
16. No Way Out
17. Big Empty
18. Plush
19. Interstate Love Song
20. Piece of Pie
21. Trippin'
22. Sex & Violence
23. Dead & Bloated
24. Down
25. Sex Type Thing
I tried to incorporate some of the lesser played stuff with the obvious stuff. It would be fucking unbelievable if STP could play this kind of setlist on a regular basis, of course mixing it up and substituting some of the lesser known stuff from show to show. But the above setlist is what I'd prefer (at the moment).
Well said and a great set too.
I'll just copy mine from the official board. Similar idea to yours, Jim - it has an equal mix of 5 tracks from each album plus 5 extras. This is to represent the band + Brendan who first appears on keys for “Adhesive”, plays either guitar or keys throughout the acoustic set, and comes back on keys for “Where The River Goes”....a guy can dream, huh?!
