Wondering what the US leg will bring, can't wait to find out

[brobbins]

Does it feel like to anyone else that the audience request songs are really limited, or even a little "pre-determined"? With only 13 different songs played in 30 shows, there isn't as much variety as I expected (hoped for). I know the main set list songs are out, and they're limited to acoustic versions, but some songs are getting way more attention than others. I suppose the songs might be selected by popular demand. Maybe that's why the song title is tagged, so they can tally up the requests easily. Or I fear the songs are chosen in advance, and the tags are just used to find a random request video to show at the concert. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but my shows in Chicago are coming up soon, and I have doubts about anything we can control to help our requests get chosen. If there's a thread on this topic somewhere else, please let me know so I can vent there. Sorry to be such a downer in this great set list stats thread. [emoji53]

 

EDIT... someone started a thread on audience request songs for the US tour, so I found my venting place. [emoji18]

This is what I think the band does. Not gonna complain that much, I mean we got AROBTTH, Strawberry Swing and See You Soon (didn't expect this one at all!)

Can this be updated for the US leg? I'm sorry I can't do it, I don't have the time and patience.

 

 

Thanks!

[Stephie]

I might update my stats over the weekend. (If I get tickets and won't need to spend all my time crying...) :)

[Beximus]

Hi. Thanks for the post!

 

I noticed in the European section, you've got the setlist for the 11th June in Zurich down twice, instead of the setlist for the 12th. I was there on the 11th, so I don't know what the setlist was for the 12th, but I know there were one or two changes.

You are great! Thanks.

Do you work with stats?

It is not fair that VLVODAAHF doesn't have the love it deserves during this tour.
