Farewell set

[paulo]

Ok, I know I did this a while ago on the old forum, but with the announcement of the split its completely changed my view of what set I would like to here...so I'm gonna pick my 'ultimate' set again. I'm choosing 20 songs, cos hopefully the set will be a little longer and ...well, its my game so I can do what I like! Ok? Good - right, this would be what I would like to hear...

Tone Blooze / Unpainted Arizona
Don't Stand me down
Bluetonic
Surrendered
The Fountainhead
Firefly
Solomon Bites the Worm
Putting out fires
Mudslide
Slight Return
Sleazy Bed Track
After Hours
Emilys Pine
Fast Boy
Time and Again
If...

A New Athens
Are you Blue or Are you Blind?
Hope and Jump
Never going nowhere

Ok...I know its a bit odd to not end the last gigs of 'If', but I prefer 'NGN' and the lyrics 'Leave the stage, its time to move on' seem fitting.....I could have added another 25 tracks quite easily, but I figure the majority of the singles will get played so have had to sacrifice a few old B sides that I would have.....its flipping tough. I bet I have missed something really obvious

Marblehead Johnson?

[paulo]

As I said...gotta leave some out...realised I missed out 'The Simple things' too...d'oh.

[abrokenstarr]

Not necessarily in this order (although the first song, last song before encores and encores ARE) - I came up with 21 I'm afraid. 20 was just too difficult.

Glad to see Y'Back Again
Time and Again
Bluetonic
Carn't Be Trusted
Tone Blooze/Unpainted Arizona
Hope and Jump
Fade In/Fade Out
Persuasion
Mudslide
Solomon Bites the Worm
Sleazy Bed Track
4 Day Weekend
Happy Lobotomy
Colorado Beetle
Into the Red
Carry Me Home

Broken Starr
The Day that Never Was
Keep the Home Fires Burning
Marblehead Johnson
If...

mmmmm.....I like.....I'll go to your gig instead of mine.

[abrokenstarr]

Thanks. Completely left After Hours off though. Which I'm now sort of regretting. Jeez it's so hard!

[paulo]

I'm assuming they will have 'the ability to rock the boards' on the Farewell tour, otherwise a lot of songs like Mudslide, After Hours, Carry me home etc will prob be missed off

[abrokenstarr]

Crap, and Basement Song which is one of my favourites. I have no idea what to axe to replace it with either.

[paulo]

Thats settled then - their is simply no time for a support act

[abrokenstarr]

Agreed. A three hour set please lads?

[littlemissmosher]

nice idea but i reckon the four guys in the band should pick THEIR fave songs - say their fave single, b-side/album track and cover each - that would be 12 songs around which to base the setlist. its going to be tough if they do the same setlist each night...and given a lot of us are going to at least a couple gigs each, it'd be cool if they varied it ...that of course means rehearsing lots more though. gah!
lets be honest its gonna be an impossible task for them to do the perfect setlist for everyone!

that said if they dont do the metal version of Slight Return that ive never heard them do, i SHALL cry

[monkey]

[littlemissmosher]

MONKEY!
