Well, it's been performed twice now-in London and Hamilton. We shall have to see if it's performed in Montreal tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe. Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Bands like RHCP manage to play about half their catalogue over the course of a tour, it shouldn't be that much hassle, it's not like many songs are really complex or anything. I like that the setlist stays the same as you know what you're getting but it'd be nice to see more variation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Jonny Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It is 100% there for all Canadian shows. Except Quebec City who will receive Armatage Shanks and Scattered instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alienlifeform Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm guessing Green Day are under a contract of an amount of songs that they have to play... like, every night when they add something new to the set, they remove another song, and always play only 28 songs at each night... this must be a contract thing. Their set is short and they shouldn't be revoming songs when the set could fit at least 5 or 6 more songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venues do have a curfew and bands can't really play past that due to noise laws and fines and all. Also, their set isn't short. Granted, there's some pauses in between, but they do play for almost 2.5hrs, which is at least an hr more than some headliners that play arenas.

alienlifeform Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The thing is, Green Day has so many really great songs that fit all of them in one single set is something impossible, and this is a sign that they could easily change at least 10 songs every night and make the show even better, make every night special and unique. I think that as a musician to vary a little bit could bring some more energy on playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Jonny Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I don't think its a contract thing, it's more an agreement amongst the band that 2 and half hrs a night is enough and that is enough time to give each city a minimum of 28 songs. Some may get 29, 30 or more, but they still at least play longer than 95% of bands. Minimal breaks too. One special song that changes every night would be cool though, it's nothing and takes no effort. I'm surprised they don't do this for themselves seeing as they are known to. Was neat seeing Johnny B Goode, but Scattered was honestly rounding out the old material in the set this year. Do NOT see why both cannot be done.

blueshadows Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 2.5 hours is definitely a really long set. Very grateful to the band for playing for us for so long. But yeah a little bit of change between the shows would be great. Just changing a song a two would be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dam splendour in the grass They are so wonderful live, thank god they did a sideshow here otherwise I would have exploded. Honestly though, that's probably the only way they're going to add in a heap more songs without leaving any out - and if The Cure can do it, surely Green Day can do it. I think they've been around long enough to do it now. They don't really need a support act, they can still sell out shows on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a great thing huge successful bands like Green Day give smaller yet unknown bands a chance to play those venues. It's also a great way to discover new bands. In my opinion 2,5 hours is enough. Of course I wouldn't complain about some extra minutes with my fav band, but playing a set this long must be really strenuous. They aren't 25 anymore and I prefer having them around for many years to come. Lots of artists start having health issues after decades of touring forcing them to take a step back. Let's hope GD can rock the world for as long as the Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf is not complaining about the energy - just saying they have so many songs - just change it up & make it unique. Everyone keeps going round in circles with this debate - all I want is for KFAD to piss off just like you think JOS is boring. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, if I have a band with 100 great songs that every fan would like to see live, it's a waste of meterial to play the same 28 every night. They can do better and I guess they know it. The show the way it is is a ver good show, I don't doubt it and don't discuss it, but it's also kinda robotic. Take a look on the pictures from every night (the photographers can stand on the pit for only 2 songs), they're all the same, Billie does the same speeches and even make the same movements... it's so controlled. What bothers me is that any fan knows that they could do better, and still they don't. Sometimes they want too much to please the casual fans that only kows their hits and leave aside the die hard ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
