Hermione Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Yeah I love Brain Stew with the metal covers and then Jaded with Billie breakdancing and stuff. Shame that was one that got cut. Have to say I loved their use of flames in the songs they did play though, the song Revolution Radio is kind of meh to me but the way they played it with the flames was spectacular.

Never was a huge fan of Brain Stew. It's not like I hate it, but I never thought "Oh man, you gotta see Brain Stew live again". I'm fine with it being in the setlist, but I wouldn't miss it. The flames were awesome! I was quite mesmerized by the fact that they felt so hot even though I wasn't in the front rows. Maybe 10th to 15th, or so.

blueshadows Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 After seeing GD for the first time at the club show and seeing them twice in the North America leg, i just want to say that I think it makes a lot of sense for GD to keep KFAD in the setlist. Of course I agree they have many songs that are better than KFAD and if they replaced it in the shows they can easily fit in 2-3 songs instead, but the crowd seems to always go pretty wild for it. The mood during that song is just so fun, I enjoyed every second of it. I have seen that song 3 times live so far, so maybe it's different for those of you who have seen in 10 times + , but at the same time I think when i see the whole arena and all those casual fans having a great time, it makes me really happy too. I also think it'd be great if they did what they did in Montreal and throw in a random deep cut every night. Maybe they can come up with like 3-5 deep cuts and play one of those each night. Then hardcore fans can get excited about which song they might get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Geek Stink Breath!! Well rehearsed and is the perfect track to round out sets, giving us an Insomniac song and keeping the energy the same. It takes 2 minutes and a couple extra heyo's. Dumb that Christie Road and Scattered are gone lately, so why not one Insomniac tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yeah, the current setlist is at a low point. No new RevRad songs, no Insomniac, no Trilogy songs, no Scattered, no Christie Road and still only one 21st CB song. I really hope, they'll mix things up for either the summer Europe leg or the 2. America Leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyChunks Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 On 3/25/2017 at 2:36 AM, crock6000 said: Yeah, that's the running argument. But I will say this. One thing I know is what people would like. It has been and is a mistake that they don't play "Horseshoes and Hand grenades" at almost all of the shows. It would be one of their best live crowd pleasers and yet he barely plays it. There must be a little contention between them because you have to figure one of them wants to play different song every night I really thought Billie being sober was gong to lead to that and when he payed the Palladium setlist, and I was at that one and that whole show felt new and different, I was like yes, they get it! Finally but as soon as they were on the UK tour they went back into their shell. Watch the documentaries, Billie doesn't like being out of their comfort zone. He plays with timing which I like but never actual setlists. Not often. Not often enough for a guy that's seen a fucking 1000 shows and LOVED every one of them but you're never going to convince me that playing all their songs wouldn't make going to multiple shows more interesting. I get it, they are playing to the lowest common donator of GD fans but sometimes us hardcore fans want rarities at are at the big venues. I can;t complain. Every time I am walking out of a show I say the words "actually even Longview still rocks better than anyone". I love watching Vinny from The Killers play live. He's the only drummer I like more than Tre. What was I talking about? Setlists. Look, yeah, they should definitely mix it up more. They don't even play Bran Stiew anymore which I figured was just because Billie was off drugs (and maybe it is) but he's played it several times since getting sober. I would love a show whee he would have a Somewhere Now opening and finish with Forever Now. Can you imagine a concert being bookended by The Nows? That would be historic and I don't even think they'll do it. I hope I'm wrong but there is NO WAY that wouldn't be amazing. Look, Roger Water's the wall, that is a midi synced, timed event you are watching. A Green Day shot is a visceral, live event that alienist has zero pyro ties and heart to adjust the ones that do. If thet wanted to, they could keep everyone happy by just making the shows a little different each time. Even a little. No doubt, I definitely agree with you. My own personal experience of setlist nirvana was when they played Webster in the fall- one they got on that run of deep cuts it genuinely had a truly unpredictable/ exciting element of "oh my God, what are they going to play next?" that just isn't present for the arena shows. And having been to plenty of arena shows I know for a fact that a Webster-type set would be well received in an arena- there was still a heavy mix of big hits too, and it was the perfect balance of must-play staples and deep cuts. But then again, I trust their judgement at this point and they have earned the ability to play whatever they want- it certainly is working right now. If I had to speculate I believe this will be like the 21CB tour; the first run is pretty much the same show night after night, and the second leg will be the portion where the setlist gets more interesting.

AmyxLongview Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I saw somebody say the other day, "They played a couple of covers when they should have squeezed in some more of their old catalog, but I guess it's OK since they did 33 songs." Fuck you. Who plays 33 songs? Not to mention, some of those songs are seven and nine minutes long. Come on, man. Give me a break here. Has Mike been reading this thread? I agree with him though.

He plays with timing which I like but never actual setlists. Not often. It did seem that way for some of the club shows, but at the same time, I imagine being sober would make any performer who used to play under the influence more cautious instead of less. That just makes sense to me—if you're more aware and more anxious and maybe more self-conscious, you want to stick to what you know and feel comfortable. Don't get me wrong—the band seems like they're having more fun than ever on stage. But if Billie was sensitive about being out of their comfort zone before performing sober, I can only imagine that has worsened. I also take full responsibility for wanting to go see them multiple times on one tour. That's my problem, not theirs lol. I know what I'm signing up for when buying tickets for multiple shows. I'm fortunate to be seeing them for the third time on the RevRad tour this summer, and no matter what they play I'm sure I'll have a blast. BUT, I'm going to feel a bit bummed if at that point it's still exactly the same setlist as it was at my club show the year before. This is a First World Problem and in the grand scheme of things means very little in regard to my love of the band, but...ugh. It's frustrating that they have such a vast catalog and play so little from it. At the very least play different songs from RevRad (an album that would sound great from front to back, honestly). My mom attended both RevRad shows I've been to so far and while she had a great time at the club show, I could tell she wasn't jazzed by the repetitiveness of the arena show.

Why do Green Day band members always get to hear/ see the wrong criticism. Again, what they should do, is not: -lengthen the set, I'm well aware that it's quite long enough as is -cut out fan favorites and staples -completely change the setlist each show but instead: -keep the setlist length -keep the same overall structure, fan favorites and pyro influenced songs -BUT, swap out one or two songs in the middle part, only every once in a while, maybe even do a random song request, like they did on some shows during the 99 revolutions tour. Why can't they hear these suggestions, instead of the self-righteous ones. I mean, Jeff even admitted that he'd really like to hear Whatshername, so what's the problem with swapping one or two songs every once in a while? And no, they don't owe us anything, it's just a suggestion, ok... 3 hours ago, Whatsername_123 said: I'm only seeing the one gig in this tour- but it would be nice to see some footage of Somewhere Now or Welcome to Paradise. I really hope they do. But, at the moment, it doesn't seem like they're going to mix it up. Again, I hope future legs of the tour will prove me wrong, but somehow, I'm a bit skeptical... And yes, call me stale, but I'd like to hear some of the songs that they played on the other tours, such as: -Welcome to Paradise -Brain Stew and Jaded -Geek Stink Breath -Nice Guys Finish Last -Redundant -Wake me up when September ends -Give me novacaine -Homecoming -Whatshername -21st.

I have tickets to see them in August, but I am still debating whether or not to make the trip, but if the setlist does change from the first leg, then I don't think i'd want to miss it. It was pretty cool- I saw them twice during the first arena leg of the tour and the setlists were identical (and they were very similar for all arena stops). Then during the outdoor venue in the summer of the 2nd leg it changed up significantly and had about 5-7 different songs, with some tracks at my show (Scattered/ Razorbacks) played for the first time in ages and others (Gloria!, JAR, We Are the Waiting, etc.) making new appearances as well. And the show before they had debuted Christie Road for the first time in years, and the same kind of thing kept happening the rest of the leg. By the time they got to South America toward the end of the tour the setlist was one new surprise after another. We haven't had a tour that lengthy since (Trilogy tour was really short). I am pretty confident this will be like the 21CB tour and during the 2nd US leg they'll change it up quite a bit since they'll recognize they'll be playing in front of many of the same fans again and want to change it up.

Ahh...I remember it well. I didn't even have at cell phone a the time. I snuck in a camera to record "story time with Green Day" which...was the only thing that was different at every show. Regardless, I also brought a sharpie and wrote the set list on my arm as it happened because again...no phone. 42 minutes ago, TimmyChunks said: I am pretty confident this will be like the 21CB tour and during the 2nd US leg they'll change it up quite a bit since they'll recognize they'll be playing in front of many of the same fans again and want to change it up. I think this will happen as well. Already with mid-tour small change ups, I think changing it for the next leg is highly likely. And I am excited for that, as I will be seeing them again in August. I will abide by my same policy as I did with this tour though- not a single look at any of the leg's setlists beforehand. I did that for Brooklyn and it was an amazing experience to not know what was next even though they were the usual songs. Made it all around more enjoyable. I won't have the luxury for the last show, though. Cause my last one will be September and will likely be the same as August. Ah, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
