[Im The Dude]

WAR BEGUN!!

Keep that in the set for Pittsburgh.

[Brumfield]

I just got back from the show.  War Begun was awesome.  Highlights for me were Steam Engine and Holdin On To Black Metal, but the whole show was fuckin awesome.  It was my 3rd time seeing them.  Oh, and they went into the jam part of Run Thru at the end of Touch Me I'm going to Scream Part 2.  That was pretty cool.

DAMN! my wife wants to hear highly suspicious again so bad and they bust it out! LOVE the guitar soloing in war begun. looks like another good one. hope they bring the goods for vancouver, Ive got a lot of people im going with that Ive been raving about them to...

[grizzy]

Damn...I'd take that set for Alpharetta, Georgia right now.

Love War Begun!

[e_wind]

theyre definitely switching up the set lists this tour. War Begun is without a doubt the best gem they've played this year (in my opinion).

[Crispy]

Wowowowow! Very cool setlist, great changes -- I like the switching of which song melts into the end of Run Thru, and Steam Engine into Moving Away would wreck me. War Begun -- Super Gem!  :D :D

Evil Urges - 5
At Dawn - 0   ???

War Begun is great, but otherwise I would have been very disappointed with this setlist.  It's a shame that a song like Touch Me Pt. 1 (or I'm Amazed and Highly Suspicious as far as that goes) takes the place of one of their older gems or even the two songs they didn't play off of the new album.  Touch Me 2 and Smokin' are plenty to play off of the last album, they need to retire the rest for awhile or start playing 3 hr shows every night.

Then I guess it's a good thing you weren't there?

...or even mix in the rest of the songs from EU.  I wouldn't mind hearing EU, remnants or even aluminum park from time to time.  I hear you.  But...this is how they roll, and we need to just accept it and embrace it.

i think they theyre switching up the setlists more this tour than they did last tour

[marino13]

I agree they are switching things up, it's just that At Dawn now seems to be in the same category as Tennessee Fire.  Instead of 4-5 songs every night, it is an Honest Man here, a Phone WW there.  Now, Evil Urges has taken it's place as a former album that is getting 4-5 songs every night.  Not even close to a fair trade IMO. 

And WalterFredo, I love me some Remnants too, but have given up on seeing it live at this point.  I was lucky enough to see it once at the Chicago Theatre in one of the first two shows after Jim got hurt.

[members only jacket]

Maybe we can all go back in time to 2002 when every song was from Tennessee Dawn and At Fire.

[marino13]

No need to go back that far.  The Z tour would be far enough.  ;)

[marino13]

They should no doubt promote their new album.  After that, play your best stuff.  They have a big pile of songs to choose from that are "best", it's just that most of them aren't on Evil Urges.  Also, that is not just my opinion.

Notice the compilation of critics reviews and user reviews would agree. 

I don't know many people that would rather hear I'm Amazed, Touch Me Pt. 1 and Highly Suspicious over Dondante, Phone Went West, Dancefloors etc.

Well, I hope the band sees this so they can start planning their set lists according to Metacritic.

They've really been going about this all wrong.

you're not merely stating your opinion, you're being a smartass to someone else who was merely stating an opinion.  But, it's a message/discussion board, and if this is the method you use to communicate your opinion, who am I to say otherwise....carry on.

Thanks, walterfredo.  I was looking for your permission, and now I have it.  All good.
