St. Jonny Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 They do play about 28-30 at most shows on tour. After 2 and whatever hours, your body prepares to drop. It's like, shit, we better do JOS before we drop dead from playing for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 See, I was right. 28 songs, are we allowed to talk about it here? Being the setlist discussion thread, anybody who does not want spoilers should not read it. Even though there is not a single spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhere Man Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Disappointing setlist, nothing really new or unusual (except for Jaded). Even the "deep cuts" are always the same, like Christie Road or Scattered (although I love these songs). Why the hell you put a lyric video of Say Goodbye and never play it live? Makes no sense. Hope this is only the beginning and they will make some changes but feeling rather pessimistic about it. Also as everyone pointed KYE as a opener is kind of borind, even during the 21st CB era it didn't play this role. To the positive point, I like that they decided to keep at least Forever Now at the arena shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 6 new songs, that's pretty good! A lot of people complain about the set lists but I think they are doing just fine. Deep cuts are awesome, but I'd go the opposite route and play more hits. Instead of 18 hits and 10 album cuts, I'd do 24 hits and then 4 songs that switch out every night (from fan favorites to super rare, never-heard before songs). And at some of the shows, just a freaking non-stop greatest hits set. But that's me. I think Green Day are masters of the live music world and simply do it better than any other band out there. They can do however they like because they are epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 They better not drop Burnout completely, its only like 2 and half minutes or something. That was keeping the shows up on Dookie shit. Somewhere Now should definitely be done, and Brain Stew and Jaded can't be done every night, you would think they will get bored of those quick. Love Scattered, glad that's there. And WTP, Christie Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James11693 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 It's a good set list but at the same time it feels stale. It'd be nice if they pulled out some more random stuff from Insomniac and Kerplunk like they did at the smaller shows last year. I also wish there we're at least a couple from the trilogy. I don't see why they can't at least play Stay the Night or Oh Love. Also find it weird that Know Your Enemy is the opener.. why not open with Somewhere Now? and not to be even more picky, but it'd be nice if they played another track off of Breakdown for a change!

tdlyon Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I haven't seen any videos yet but I can already say that Know Your Enemy as an opener is bad imo. They shouldn't even be playing that song at all anymore, but fuck opening with it. I would guess they might play more political songs on the American leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwise Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Know Your Enemy isn't a terrible opener, but when you have Somewhere Now it just makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhere Man Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Just watched the video from Perth 2014 where Billie played a verse-chorus of Redundant (with fans singing the chorus) and realized how much I want to hear that song full live. Such a beautiful and underrated melody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecanoLP Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I don't think Somewhere Now would be a good opener, it's a bit too slow for that in my opinion. I see why they're opening with Know Your Enemy but it's still extremely weird. Alltogether, the setlist is how I expected it to be. They dropped all the very good old stuff (Armatage Shanks, Private Ale) and just played their regular stuff. I know that they can't drop all of their singles but BOBD or King For A Day have been the same for decades now, they should switch it up a little more Maybe they're still warming-up and trying things out and it's cool that they're ignoring the trilogy and 21stCB but I doubt we will see major changes for this touring cycle. That's what I posted in another thread a while ago: My ideal Green Day setlist would look completely different of course but I tried to create one that is more realistic and similar to the setlists they're currently playing. I just want them to drop their most annoying song ever (King For A Day) as well as their old "rarities" they always play (Burnout, Christie Road, Hitchin A Ride,...) and replace them with songs they don't usually play. They have an enormous catalogue and songs like Sassafras Roots, Worry Rock and Jackass are just examples and could be replaced by any other song obviously. I know other people want them to drop Jesus of Suburbia but this song is just too good to be dropped. Minority shouldn't be extended that much though. In addition, I hate their acoustic encore, shows should end with a banger, therefore Going To Pasalacqua seems to be a good choice just like in Sacramento 2009. As I said, this is not my dream setlist since there are still too many singles in it but you can't drop them all. But I don't see any problem with replacing some regular old songs with other ones. I don't really like their structure anymore but it's too complicated to create a structure since there are lots of things you have to consider. Maybe 32 songs would be a bit too long nowadays, 30 should be okay. 1. Bang Bang 2. Revolution Radio 3. Know Your Enemy 4. Holiday 5. Letterbomb 6. Boulevard of Broken Dreams 7. Longview 8. Private Ale 9. Armatage Shanks 10. Stuart and the Ave. 11. 409 in Your Coffeemaker 12. Brat 13. One of My Lies 14. I Was There 15. Sassafras Roots 16. Worry Rock 17. Scattered 18. Jackass 19. J.A.R. 20. Are We the Waiting 21. St. Jimmy 22. Basket Case 23. She 24. Say Goodbye 25. Waiting 26. Still Breathing 27. Forever Now Encore: 28. American Idiot 29. Jesus of Suburbia 30. Too Dumb To Die 31. Minority 32. Going To Pasalacqua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digoco Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'll always complain about all the time they waste. Yes, the played over 2 h 20 min but at least 35 min they're just wasting time. They could play a couple RevRad songs and a couple of other albums and they would still have enough time to waste. Also I think they play too much AI. And please, if they want to keep KFAD and Shout at least change the medley songs. That being said, I think this would be a really kick ass setlist: Revolution Radio Bang Bang Say Goodbye Holiday Letterbomb Boulevard of Broken Dreams Murder City Longview Youngblood/ Too Dumb to die Welcome to Paradise Brain Stew Jaded Christie Road Scattered Hitchin' a Ride/ Stuck With Me Waiting Pasalacqua When I Come Around Basket Case She Redundant (or any" slow" song) Paper Laterns (or an "oldie") Nuclear family (trilogy song) Still Breathing Forever Now American Idiot Jesus of Suburbia Outlaws Minority Ordinary World Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop extending Brain Stew by shooting with water pistols, stop extending Minority to death, stop Heyhos (or all Heyhos in general...) in Hitchin' A Ride,.... Even Jesus of Suburbia would make space for 2-3 other songs if they stopped playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End Of The World Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 What makes me a little unhappy about this new setlist is that the number of the songs from American Idiot (7) is still greater than the one of the songs from Revolution Radio (6). Don't get me wrong. AI stuff is fucking great. But songs like Say Goodbye, Troubled Times and Too Dumb To Die absolutely deserve a place in the show. I'm getting bored of BOBD and Are We The Waiting/St. Jimmy (Bang Bang is a pretty similar song after all). So please: more RevRad (and one song from the Trilogy). I'm happy about Waiting, because it means a lot to me since it describes my "waiting" for the concert (I'm so fucking happy I could cry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Jonny Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I am quite ticked, I really don't care to see Brain Stew again. It is little more than a break for the band. Slow, boring, and the last song I would want to hear from Insomniac. Saw it on AI Tour and Jaded was the best part, if they are doing both it is dumb to not have them bleed into each other like the album and videos. Armatage Shanks and Geek Stink Breath would make the set a million times better, and they rock waaaayyyy fuckin' more! Then you get a rarity and a classic single, both with serious momentum! And Burnout needs to be there, lyrics, riffs and drums I must seeeee!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefano Bras Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Say Goodbye, Outlaws and Too Dumb to Die desperately need to be added to the setlist, I don't understand why are they waiting any longer. 13 hours ago, DecanoLP said: Good point, that's something I hate about their live shows as well.

St. Jonny Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 9 off RevRad would be way too many. We need room for old songs. Somewhere Now would definitely be nice though. Say Goodbye too but Outlaws is way too slow and not exciting enough for a live show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belinda jane Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 i still think they should open with 'somewhere now' behind a large curtain and when it kicks in, the curtain drops and there's fucking confetti and everyone goes nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac1984 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The huge mistake about the setlist on Green Day shows is the "playing safe" thing. Too many songs from AI and some old stuff for many times. KFAD + Shout show is really predictable, less heeeeeoooos would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 They should do the whole new album and do songs they haven't or rarely do. Doing the same thing over and over is so boring and predictable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizziebix Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I don't get wanting to hear Somewhere Now as the opener and then again in Forever Now. Why does everyone want to hear it twice when you get to hear another option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
