Worst Show of The Tour.... Guesses

wwfairfield

Which show , aside from bonnaroo , do you believe will have the weakest setlist/ weakest show ??
Who will get the shaft? and why
back to back, first show, travel, strain, venue, city....etc....
give reasons

don't give me that "every pj show is great" crap

we all know that some sets are better than other (some sets mothers are better than other sets mothers...)

let me hear from ya america

Both MSG's.

One Song Glory

Why would anyone really want to consider that whatever show(s) they are going to could be on the weak side? Wait till they've happened to analyze them.

Washington DC, Virginia, and Hartford are most likely to be not as good.

I think they will all be good

for one they haven't played the south in 5 years..so they will do their best to make up for the wait..the bigger city shows are always good anyway.

You know whats funny though is they could go to Va Beach and play a 24 song setlist of all hits and throw in 'No Way' and everyone on here will be jizzin over how great a setlist it was and how great a show was.

Every show is unique in it's own way.

Yeah, some are unique in that they aren't as good.

Well what is a good show for you?

It's different for everybody and come on they always put on a great show. Is it a bad show cause you didn't get to hear a certain you wanted to hear. A good show for me is when they don't play Last Kiss. LOL

a complete absence of the first two albums and that last POS album

random selections, tagged heavily, from albums 3-7 with some lost dogs & b sides

A good show is a dynamic show, a show that brings you on a journey.

1. Start off with a bang, playing really rockin songs
2. Ease it down a little, play some more laid back songs, a few rarities
3. Bring it back up for the end of the set
4. Finish off with a bang (like Rearviewmirror or Porch)

Encore:
1. Start off with some very quiet songs, acoustic
2. Do some more rarities, slowly building up again
3. End with a bang

(Possible 2nd totally hard rock Encore)

That is the structure of many of their shows but sometimes it doesn't work based on the song choices. And sometimes they don't even stick to that structure and just go all out and play hard stuff the whole night (they do that a lot at the outdoor amphitheater shows, and at festivals, mostly because of the environment and what people are expecting).

A good example of a good show for me is 7-10-06 LA Forum.

you know what though, arguably the best show of the 2006 tour didn't have a spectacular setlist. San Diego's setlist was decent at best, but I think it was the best show because of Ed's interactions and how well the show was played. That show is often regarded as the best of the 06 tour (myself included) but it really only contained 2 'epic' songs- if you wanna call them that- Leash and Crown of Thorns. I think Grand Rapids and even Cleveland may have had better setlists.

Plus, Grand Rapids was the smallest town on the 2006 tour and still produced a great show so you can't always go by that.

Also, Cleveland was the night after Grand Rapids and Cleveland was a top 5 show from the 2006 tour so travel isn't always something you can measure..as I rate:

1. San Diego
2. Albany
3. Boston 2
4. Cleveland
5. Grand Rapids

I chose to go to the Virginia Beach show because it is the last they are doing with KOL. If there is any chance for a KOL sighting during the 2nd encore it will be at Va. Beach. I'm holding out hope Caleb knows the song Hunger Strike.

if you judge a show solely by the setlist (which you are) then that's just weak...
