St. Jonny Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It doesn't, and they didn't. That is the set from Prague, but hey they pulled out Pasalaqua, that makes me happy! Honestly though, theres enough fan interaction songs, drop Knowledge and do Armatage Shanks or Geek Stink Breath. Short, simple, well rehearsed tunes, not much to ask to just play one. I hope they keeper at 29 or 30 songs now though, gives a couple more song slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack [DF] Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I really hope Prague is a good indication of the sets for the whole tour. Kind of bummed that they're still doing Know Your Enemy, but the rest of the setlist is one or two tracks off from my ideal Green Day set. April 1st cannot come soon enough.

Exdarken Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think the current setlist is perfect for someone who occasionally listen green day. I want more revrad live songs like Troubled times, and more of kerplunk and 1039. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter is their best album opener since 21st Century Breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I don't know about just occasional listeners. It's more for people who haven't seen them live before or haven't seen them multiple times and/or watched hundreds of videos on youtube (aka the majority of people at the show). I was a massive fan when I first saw them and I wanted to see the live show/setlist that they're famous for more than anything. I agree that more new songs would be good though, and there's definitely places they could fit them while still playing the staples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, the "permanent" part of the setlist for a certain tour tends to change with each leg. In 2013, for the US, they didn't perform Are We The Waiting before St Jimmy (the song before St Jimmy was Brain Stew). I remember they performed JAR and Going to Pasalacqua, which during the current European tour, has only been played once so far. Sure, seeing a few new songs would be great, and some songs could be 86ed, but complaining about the hits being played every single time is ridiculous, especially when they come from arguably their most popular album. They can't necessarily rotate their setlist all that much because many people do not know songs prior to Dookie or American Idiot. Can they start introducing them? Yes, but it can't be a complete overhaul done in one instance. Despite that, one can't deny the fact that they will have a grand old time at one of their shows. They do well in hyping up the crowd and engaging the audience, and that is something that won't change (I mean...will old age really stop them from running around?

Exdarken Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Yeah. I think part of the problem is that they completely banned the trilogy songs. That gives to the setlist an old look. I love the old stuff but damn, enough of know your enemy, minority and King for a day. It is like so certain songs were their comfort zone from which they do not want to leave.

MaraGreenDay Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I just gotta say, I still haven't see them live and if the time comes and they don't play KFAD, Minority and all those classics, I'm gonna be so freaking pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Jonny Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Yeah, but they gotta play that shit unfortunately. No Christie Road now. Totally lame. Burnout is there at least. If it's between Waiting and Christie Road, they should do Christie Road. They gotta play the heavy part at the end though, cutting them short isn't cool.

Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Fuck this shit. So now there's no Christie Road? Great. I watched the full gig from Germany on YouTube and seriously regret doing so. Turns out I'm essentially going to see the exact same gig I saw 4 times in 2013 alone and numerous times in 2012 and beforehand. Literally the one and only song I was looking forward to was Christie Road. I've seen Waiting at every gig I went to on the trilogy tour. If I didn't have plane tickets I'd seriously sell the gig ticket. They're going through the motions. And yay me for buying tickets for two more dates. Fucking huge back catalogue. Change the setlist once every ten years or are you incapable? Even playing the same covers in the hideous ten minute long wank fest that is KFAD /Shout. I mean how hard is it to swap out Hey Jude etc for something else? The fans might piss themselves with excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 To be fair they've always stuck to playing a very similar setlist at every show on a tour, even in the early days it was the same songs from their limited catalogue and from Dookie onwards it's almost always been just as structured as it is now. Sticking to a core setlist with only small changes over the years has literally always been their thing. I get not necessarily being a fan of that but it's hardly a surprise at this point. 22 hours ago, MaraGreenDay said: I just gotta say, I still haven't see them live and if the time comes and they don't play KFAD, Minority and all those classics, I'm gonna be so freaking pissed. I felt exactly the same before I first saw them. They were playing the same venue two nights in a row and I even made sure to pick the first night to go just in case they did something "special" like playing a whole album or a load of random rare songs the second night , getting to experience a "traditional" Green Day show was the most important thing to me. I've seen them do a couple of more changed up setlists now and enjoyed it but I'll still happily take the show they've perfected over the years when there's so much great stuff in it! There's a lot more to a show than just the setlist anyway and no two have ever felt the same to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they do play 6 new songs from RevRad, that's not bad, so it's not exactly the same.... And I can tell you, I've seen them 2012 and 2013 too, but the energy they have right now is mind-blowing. I didn't notice the songs they played in the first place, it was their energy and vitality and positivity that blew me away. I'm sure you will enjoy the show, like @Hermione said, they have so much more to offer than just a setlist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 As someone who was looking forward to Christie Road and got JAR and Pasalacqua instead, I feel entitled to make a calm-your-tits post. Don't give up all hopes, maybe they'll make a change to the setlist/you'll like the show. And if you don't want to risk it, I'm sure you won't have a problem selling your ticket.

Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I already have flights booked so that ship has sailed. In fairness I never felt that their shows lacked energy, vitality or positivity etc which is why I thought they were wonderful live all those years ago. Hell the most energetic I've ever seen Billie was at Shepherds Bush a few weeks before rehab so I don't buy into the whole idea of their shows being so much better /more energetic now. Watching the show from Germany I really would not be able to distinguish it from a 2012/2013 era gig throughout except that they've substituted the five or so trilogy songs for the revrad songs and hit shuffle. That's my problem. When people go to any gig there is always an energy /atmosphere that means you tend to have a good time regardless but Green Day have gotten to a point where if you see them once you've seen them every night and that's what's depressing and frankly totally unnecessary. Just mix it up. It's not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcloughlin Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm not gonna complain about the core of the setlist remaining the same. Yes, if I had my way I'd drop some of the antics e.g. KFAD in an instant if it meant I could have some rarities that never get played, but at the same time I know some of the people going to GD shows have just been dragged along and will probably enjoy those moments, as not every band dedicate 10-15 mins to dressing up on stage, goofing around and covering a few classic songs. What I am disappointed about is that KYE is the opener. I just don't get that! I mean, it wasn't exactly one of their more successful singles, and although it is better live, they've been playing the song at the beginning of their shows since '09, supposedly to "pump up the crowd". Is Bang Bang not gonna do that?? It would be amazing for them to open with Somewhere Now, and go straight into Bang Bang, but for some reason that doesn't look like happening anytime soon. I really don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 They obviously don't work on the basis that you go to see them multiple times. I don't think they have any obligation to make any radical changes just because a few repeat offenders are getting bored of it To be fair I haven't really seen many bands more than once, is it common to change a setlist up that much? GD know their current formula works, and probably don't see the point in changing it that much. Am I disappointed about that? Kinda. I'd love to hear more deep cuts. But I paid to see Green Day perform and they sure as hell do! Also I should reserve judgement til my show but I also don't get KYE as an opener (and I love KYE.) Bang Bang just seems like the perfect opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakke Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Whilst some Trilogy songs might be nice intermezzos, I don't think any songs aside from Stay the Night (acoustic), Brutal Love and DRB (yes) deserve a spot on the playlist. We're not going to see any Trilogy songs appear on the setlists for quite some time, so that won't be an issue. They should rotate the earlier non-classics more and open with Somewhere Now. Know Your Enemy is a very energetic opening track, but it's too 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshadows Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Saw them for the very first time last October during the club shows. I was totally expecting a setlist full of rarities since the crowd is mainly hardcore fans but was very happy they did their usual setlist since it is the first time I saw them and I wanted to hear all the hits. I also understand them sticking to their usual hits since the show has to be appealing to all concert goers which for arenas would include a lot of casual fans. However, these are what I wish they would change for the arena shows, they are small changes (except the last one) but I think it could make nice difference 1) like many already said, not to open with KYE but with Bang Bang instead, it's new, full of energy and most importantly it is part of a new GD era 2) change the cover medley, it's always nice to hear a cover but not always the same one from one tour to the next 3) maybe play 1 more song from 21stCB, and if they play only 1, not to play KYE but something else ( I think there are many better/more unique songs than KYE in that album). KYE kinda has the same vibe as Bang Bang but I think BB is better. 4) play Troubled Times, Too Dumb to Die, Say Goodbye. This is more of a personal wish, they already play 6 songs from RevRad, so I think it's fine but i would just really like to hear these ones. Maybe replace Youngblood, which is I find of of the weaker songs off the new album. -- But they put on such a good show so even if they don't change anything I'll still be very happy to see them perform!! can't wait for March!!

I absolutely can't for the life of me figure out why Youngblood is played every night instead of switching it out for ANY other song off the album because it's definitely the weakest with cringe worthy lyrics. Meanwhile better tracks like Troubled Times and Say Goodbye never get played or even Too Dumb To Die which, while I don't like it, I specifically recall rolling my eyes when I read in an interview that it was Billie's favourite song. So what gives? Why doesn't he at least play his own favourite song instead of the worst one on the album? Why not change it up? It's really head wrecking. If they played Troubled Times live now after the lyrics video has been out I bet it would get an awesome reaction because more casual fans would have seen it online. Also I doubt there's a fan alive who actually wants to see/hear KYE live at this point if we only get to choose one 21st Century Breakdown song. EJN anyone?
