Setlist variety

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

What bands play mutually exclusive setlists every night on tour?

Until they do a "we're touring because its fun tour" they're doing something that is designed to promote a product.

I don't care if the songs are the same, but if I gotta complain, I'd like some of the new ones to expand.

two words.  octoplasm live.

well i hate to say this but panic does....just saying

Yeah, Yeah  we get the whole "they are promoting their new album" reasoning.  So they play roughly 23/24 songs a night and 8 or 9 from the new LP.  That means you've got 15 songs to change up.  And if you keep a couple (OBH, Gideon, Wordless, etc) that leaves you 10-12 to switch out every show.  Right now they are throwing us 1 or 2 "oldies" every show and all the rest are the same songs, only jumbled a bit.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND GOOD PLEASE TAKE "SMOKING FROM SHOOTING" OFF THE SETLIST!

Sheesh, talk about wearing a song out.

i want to hear/see this again. underrated song on EU, imo.

My Morning Jacket - Remnants - Terminal 5 - 10-23-10.3gp

[EasyRyder]

I miss the eminence front intro more than my ex-girlfriend.

I was just reliving some past experiences trying to cure a serious case of Jacketitis (Birmingham '10, Jazz Fest...), and I fully re-realized the forgotten power of the eminence intro face slammer. 

Eminence Front>Victory Dance would be a sure fire cookie-loser....even though I think this intro gem won't see the light of an MMJ show again, it was so very epic  :'( (we need an emoticon holding up a beer with the smile turned upside down)

eminence front > OBH was the best opener I've ever seen ever at any show

[rmpotsy]

I'm new to the band's live shows and looking at the recent selists, I'm a little surprised by the lack of variety.  It seems that they're starting every show with Victory Dance and Circuital.  While I'm certainly looking forward to hearing those two songs, I feel like someone has already revealed my Christmas presents.  Is this common for the band to deliver very similar setlists for all shows of a particular tour?

give me your address so I can send you a straw...so you can SUCK IT UP!

I know that they know how to play more than 30 songs.  In fact I have personaly seen them play 'em (New Years Run, Okonokos and Bonnaroo).  Are they trying to win new fans over so they only play songs from Z, EU and selected songs from ISM, At Daw and TTTF? songs in which they consider user friendly?  Or do they not like playing those other songs?  Don't they know it was mostly their other songs that have won over so many of us obsessed fans?  

What ever happened to the hair ripping "The Dark"?  The show stopping It's About Twilight Now? The country lovers how down "Lowdown"? The intense "Stangulation?" My favorite rocker "Honest Man"?!?!  X-Mas Curtin? Sooner? O Is The One That's Real? Easy Morning Rebel? Just One Thing? They Ran? Covers?

Radiohead, have 59 songs they as a band have learned to play live and those are the 59 songs they select from before they walk onto stage.  What they will do is try to play the songs that fit the fans, the setting, the sound of the venue and what they are feeling at that moment.  Some nights they play Creep.  Some nights they dont.  Some nights Yorke will play acoustic.  Some nights it's all fuckin' rockers.  Granted they are promoting "In Rainbows right now...so right now they mostly, but not always will play "15 step" "Recokoner" or "House of Cards".  But as for previous material - it's all up for grab. 

So why not MMJ do they same - to keep us fans truely interested!! to keep us on our toes? dp oy so you make us want to go to more shows so we can wintness moments we have yet to experience.  For example - a randown Into the Woods acoustic or set closing "It's about Twilight"?  

Plus wouldn't you think they would have more fun playing new songs every night? 

Just sayin....

In addition to promoting "Circuital", we have to remember that MMJ is catering to fans who may be seeing them for their first time ever or for the first time on this tour.  As such, they're going to play their "hits" or songs they think will resonate to the crowd.  This isn't some hobby for them; it's their livelihood.

The mere act that they're playing some classics like "The Bear", "Honest Man", and "Dancefloors" is a nod to the long-time fans, and we should be pleased to hear them.  Not every band in the world would make efforts to include 1 or 2 less unknown songs in their shows.

Like most fans, I would like to see more variety, but at the same time I fully understand why they tend to play the same songs.
