TimmyChunks Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 They're playing some markets for the third time in a year (with the most recent shows being twice in six months) on this leg. I love their shows, but if you're not a hardcore fan it'd be tough to see them yet again with the exact same seltist as 6 months before. I'm not sure if they played WA earlier this year or last year, but I sure hope they change up the setlist a bit by the time they reach the markets where they had played as recently as the spring. Personally, I'd be a lot more likely to attend 2/3 shows on this leg if it looks like there will be a little variety from one night to the next.

Jonas01 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 The current (standard) setlist is one of their best but for us who follow the tour close the setlist is way too predictable so yeh a big need for a change in the set! I wish they could mix it up a bit so i would love to see one of these songs: 21st Century Breakdown Know Your Enemy Bang bang East Jesus Nowhere Viva La Gloria Iron Man/Sweet Child o Mine, just 2 minutes in total.not full versions of course. King For A Day Longview Welcome to Paradise When i come around Brain Stew Hitchin a ride Minority Waiting Going to pasalacqua Basket case Christie road Letterbomb Holiday Boulevard of broken dreams Restless Heart Syndrome Are we the waiting St jimmy ENCORE: Still Breathing Forever now American idiot Jesus of Suburbia We Are The Champions Acoustic: 21 guns Whatsername Wake me up when september ends Good Riddance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're really catering to the mainstream casual fan on this tour. I guess so- but I don't like the approach. Someone like me will see them every single time they come to my area, no questions asked. It could be a one song setlist of Tre on the kazoo and I'd buy a ticket for at least one show on each leg. But for the mainstream/ casual fan, I'd expect they'd like at least some variety. Anecdotally, here in the Boston area they sold out the House of Blues in seconds (no brainer there of course), then the 13,000 seat DCU Center in the first day of onsale, but now the 18,000 seat amphitheater they're playing later this month appears to be 60% sold, maybe. Perhaps it would be 80% sold if they changed up the setlist a bit and the further away fans were motivated to come. For example, being in Boston, I would probably also attend all shows down to DC and west to Pittsburgh if they were changing up the set, but if it's the same one every night I will go to this one and maybe, big maybe Hartford. And I'm a huge fan about to eclipse 25 shows. For example, I'm a mainstream/ casual fan of both Pearl Jam and Phish. And I feel like I've lost out if I don't see 2/3 shows during their tours since each night is so unique. If I were this type of fan for Green Day I'd limit my shows to one per tour since they're all so identical. For this leg I'm having trouble getting my friends from the 1st leg to join again, since it seems like it will be essentially the same show. And they love Green Day's live show, but at the same time they've seen it and if it's going to be the same setlist again, why bother hiring a babysitter and going through the hassle of just seeing what you just saw? 19 hours ago, Jane Lannister said: You know we're screaming into the void, right? Getting all existential on us- I love it!

But then again, this is the premier online forum to talk about Green Day, so if anyone associated with the band were to be curious about the online conversation about all of this...this place would be where you'd start. I don't expect or believe that management or the band members read the forum, but I wouldn't be completely shocked either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst my response was dripping in sarcasm I agree with your points, considering Bill Schnieder does frequent occasionally. It wouldn't surprise me at all if no one doesn't lurk here and maybe share something they've seen or read. i also completely agree on you with you about not selling out this leg, they've really pushed it out there even with all their promos and reduced tickets. Almost as if they've saturated the market, they're played Darien Lake which isn't too far from me, I'm doing another 6 shows this tour and if yesterday they played a different setlist I probably would just go buy a seating ticket for that show. Right now I don't have any interest too yknow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabharty Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I love the John Mayer approach, where he said he just makes a setlist on the day of the gig depending on how he feels, what he wants to play etc. Just look at the difference in his 2 O2 Arena gigs, one day apart. Huge difference, a load of deep cuts, would make me go twice in a row. But shame they haven't changed up much, WTP should be a staple always so that's good - was disappointed at lack of Christie Road on 2nd EU leg. Come on, they surely can't hate Insomniac that much?

They're really catering to the mainstream casual fan on this tour. That's like at least 95% of the audience though, even most big fans don't see them multiple times per tour. People seeing multiple shows are in a very small minority and never have and never will be the ones the shows are designed for, it's not something unique to this tour. I still think it's as much the band just enjoying putting together a perfected show and playing their favourites, and enjoying the audience reaction and feeding off it, as trying to cater to anyone as such. I've said it before but it's always been their way to put together a great setlist and tour it rather than switch things up a lot, it's just how they do things.

pacejunkie punk Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It must be a lot harder to be spontaneous and changeable on an arena tour with pyro and backdrop and lighting design. It's like theatre and every song is choreographed and the crew have to know what to do, when to switch guitars, move a mic etc. changing the setlist means redoing all of that on the fly. Mike mentioned in a RS interview that you do that more easily in a club than in an arena which is why they like to go deep in clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iScottie Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 At this point I just wish they'd ditch 2KLYA. Out of all of their old songs they can't pick something better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
