Hey, what has the average NO setlist been in their recent tours? Heard its been quite repetitive but can't find a list anywhere. Taking the wife, and while she was a fan when we first met, she has moved on to crap pop music. Want to put a playlist together for her, so she can listen to it before the LA concert.
Thanks.

Huh.... I thought there were more singles in the setlists... Thought at least Temptation, 1963, BLT, True Faith would be on there as well... didn't think Mr Disco was on there, thought I heard people wishing it was being played...

I think this is 'wishful thinking'.
Good setlist, thought... Need some EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE
I've looke throught the pages here many times, and somehow I've missed this one all the times. Brixton setlist
spent 3 hours driving yesterday and listened to GMEX -19-7-1986 twice. 5 songs from that one are being played this year. or, 1/3 of the current set. No Blue Monday at that gig.

The site hasn't been updated lately, but neither have their setlists...
In Denver I will be glad to hear them. Be great if they brought out some dusty old ones. But I just really wanna be there and hear the classics and a few "fucks" and a "cunt" or two. Simple request really.
http://setlist.fm is the best these days to see what they are playing. Expect 1 or 2 song difference for the North American tour. I suspect Here to stay and Isolation to leave the set. Shame cause I want hear Here to stay in Toronto. I'm guessing confusion and Thieves like us to be added. Round and Round and Here to stay are on my wishlist.

That was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks!
Through hell or high water (no pun intended) I'm making it to Dallas -- driving from Atlanta. I don't care what the setlist is. 1st time seeing them, since they don't know Atlanta exists. Or/rather, that in the past 10 yrs they seem to only acknowledge 4-5 cities in the USA.

The US is such a big place- it's unreasonable to expect artists to tour places besides a few major cities. And wouldn't it take long to go from coast to coast, city to city there?

Maybe they just don't remember Atlanta exists. They've played there 4 times over the years.
I've been to Atlanta and the only things I remember are the Hooters girls (scary) and the 70 storey hotel (cool, exterior elevators).
If you count Miami this year, they do cover all major points in the USA. All cities should be under a 6 hour drive. Vegas, Phoenix, Washington and St Louis would have helped. As for Canada. Toronto just does not cover it. They needed a date in Vancouver. Some would say Montreal, but Montreal is about 5-6 hours away from Toronto.
And I'm sure they would have played in Atlanta, but no promoter was interested.

6 hour drive??? Wow how far away!

Looking at the setlists, its basically "the Best of" album + Elgia, Isolation, & 586....
Did something happen at the Italy show? Why only 12 songs and no encore, when all the others have 15-16 songs?

They were only a support band in Italy.
Setlist.fm also does an 'average' setlist for the year too.

Why would you think they'd drop HTS and Isolation and bring in Confusion and Thieves?
Personally, I'd kill to hear Confusion again. 👍
HTS and Isolation are part of the rotating songs. Confusion and Thieves were rehursed and not really played. I just figured it was time to bring them out. But I wouldn't be suprised to see Isolation replaced by another JD song. I'm betting She's lost control. I'm pretty sure they wont play the same set as the Asian tour.
Id like to see 8 'Come On's' in Love Will Tear Us Apart and more handclapping in Temptation!

Have they rehearsed Confusion? Woohoo! I'd not seen that.
Re: Atlanta-- if I was designing a US tour, I'd pick Atlanta as a southern tour stop over Dallas. Dallas is a southern city, but it's so far west. Atlanta is a huge and pretty cosmopolitan city now, especially after the Olympics came through, and it's centrally located, and its airport is the hub for a major airline, so a nonstop flight is easy to get there from pretty much anywhere in the eastern U.S.
(I wonder what the venues there are like though. I'm sure that's a factor.)
Do they actually pick venues or do venues pick them? They didn't pick the European dates, they played where they were invited.
Bands go were Promoters will pay the fees and meet their demands. Bands get paid regardless of ticket sales. A big reason my city miss so many concerts
Atlanta has a ton of venues -- outside and inside. Duran, Cure, Morrissey, and even OMD came through here last time. Not sure why we get the N.O. shaft. Since the '98 reunion they have not played here. Hooky came through w/MONACO in early 90's. Closest I've been to N.O.
That is, until Dallas this Oct.
And yes, U.S.A. is a big place, and obviously not easy for anyone - even the band - to make themselves available to everyone, everywhere.
Its better policy to do the main american hubs for a week or 5 days than a major city tour of the entire country. Travelling even by plane these days sucks the energy out of you and you'd get far better value for money by seeing a relaxed band with all the gear set up for more than one night than a well travelled band who play in your backyard.
Isn't it an incredible cash sink though? In the end a smaller number of fans spend more money on transport, accomodation and everything else but the tickets.

Yeah i suppose the band in question would need to be shit hot these days to attract people to travel to gigs but doing a residency in a venue for a week when its done well can be both great value for the fans and economically valuable for the bands.
People still talk about the 16 odd nights the clash did in bonds new york and it would be hard to imagine how 16 or 17 gigs in small cities and towns in america could have the same effect or indeed produce a great show.
I'm in Atlanta to and was really hoping that they would play here. We have great venues large and small, not to mention Music Midtown which is coming up....And I bet six flags would still be available. ![[:d]](/emoticons/biggrin.gif){kind=small}
If you want to talk about being a major area we have the worlds busiest airport...
