The Adversary Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Half the songs you listed are songs they rarely play anyways Which is the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisin Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 they played 21 songs though (and 2 hours?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisin Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I actually liked the setlist and I'm ok with them leaving out The Scientist (I've heard it live 4 times now) but for example I don't like that the Bowie cover takes up space in an already short setlist and I think they should play at least 20 or 21 songs, they have 6LPs now, they have more than enough material draw from...

getithom Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Which is the point. I guess what I mean is that those are songs more likely to be requested, you know? Besides, this setlist has a long ways to go! (I do hope they change it up more than past tours.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM-42 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Pretty sure they played close to 2 hours tonight. Wasn't the average time of the MX Tour performances a little bit more than 90 minutes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasySuperstition99 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 People, people. Request So Sad. Or Ode to Deodorant. Just think about how amazing it would be if they played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy42 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 People, people. Request So Sad. Or Ode to Deodorant. Just think about how amazing it would be if they played it. Right? Or Animals. That would make my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie O Sullivan Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I know I wont make friends with that but: Even though I like the song, I dont think AHFOD is a good opener. Honestly I think its their weakest. I dont get any shivers like I did with Politik, LIT or Hurts Like Heaven. Plus, I dont miss In My Place. Heard it more than often enough live. But Violet Hill missing, so far, is really sad. Im quite fine with the other songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasPh Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I thought that the worst is behind us but this setlist ... Seriously they are lost. Days where you had 25 titles for € 45 are gone... I had a little hope. The song request feel scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie O Sullivan Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Green Eyes as the requested song feels like the band picked the most easy song to play and add into their set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftrightleftArchi Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 That edited intro (not amazing grace) made this song way better (in my opinion). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie O Sullivan Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Well, what they did to Army of One? I dont like that slowed down version. And seriously, Chris'voice is really far away from its best. Such an short song but still mistakes with the lyrics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Going through some of the videos on Youtube. Check out the visuals on Politik :D Midnight background with Fix You sounded strange but I think it worked. No clip of Midnight or Birds yet. Was a bit disappointed with Army Of One. Should be on the main stage. I think the song is too 'bombastic' and would suit special effects and a high tempo, rather than a more acoustic C-stage style. I know I wont make friends with that but: Even though I like the song, I dont think AHFOD is a good opener. Honestly I think its their weakest. I dont get any shivers like I did with Politik, LIT or Hurts Like Heaven. Plus, I dont miss In My Place. Heard it more than often enough live. But Violet Hill missing, so far, is really sad. Im quite fine with the other songs. From a short clip of AHFOD from Argentina, the whhooaahhs sound amazing and just thinking, it is also the first opener that gets the crowd directly involved. The song is not as strong as the other openers, I agree but good enough I think. I echo your point about Green Eyes too, it was a very 'safe' option. If they don't go for B-sides for future shows, at least songs like 'A Message', 'Spies' and 'Yes' would be interesting to see! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdMartin Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 i wanna hear Birds :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie O Sullivan Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Agreed on you Sparky, with Army Of One. But Politik, seriously that saves every show. They could play it for 22 times and i still would be thirsty to hear it. What an amazing live song, their best imho. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosly1 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 No in my place :( Glad that they have finally omitted that song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norys Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 That edited intro (not amazing grace) made this song way better (in my opinion). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't know why they did this to army of one. It does not really sound good in this version. So, I am totally agree with Sparky about the high tempo and main stage. Chris has to study more the lyrics...it is a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie O Sullivan Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yes, basically because the lyrics for Army Of One are really short and not that complicated. Come on Chris, youre a professional. Maybe he was a bit nervous, but I needs to get better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norys Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 On the other hand, Politik is a perfect song, for me the best intro for an album ever! With the visuals they did a beautiful and moving thing. I loved it :wacky: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
