Leeds Setlist related question for TenClub

SOLAT319

There is a lot of debate in social media as to the creator of the Leeds Setlist. Tons of people believe this setlist must have been created by a fan or a close friend...basically someone other than Eddie Vedder.
I believe this setlist was created by Eddie Vedder and the location of the gig has a lot to do with the setlist being pretty special. Maybe TenClub would be willing to shed some light on this debate?

I don't know the answer but wouldn't think Ed would let someone out of the band do a Leeds set list.

There were a lot of songs played that have been "requested" here over the last couple of weeks, just sayin'

He's let people 'outside' the band do set lists for shows before.

I meant specifically for Leeds due to the Who's Live in Leeds album.

I wish TenClub would make a comment...

In my opinion, this was Ed making a statement with the set list. He obviously went full steam ahead creating a set list that caters toward the die hard fans. No one creates a better set list for the venue, atmosphere, vibe, etc than Ed (although some people on here think they can do it better). That's really why they are so great live - it doesn't really matter the set list they play, it will ALWAYS be a good show and it's exactly how the band and Ed feel that night. No one does it better.

And this all started last year in the US with the band playing longer shows and really challenging themselves in terms of the set list each night. They have a huge catalog to play from, and they are the greatest live band in the world - and they know it. I think it's just a product of Ed and the band continuing to really have a grasp on what us die hard fans want to hear, and knowing they have the capability to pull it off. I believe I read interviews last year before they started their 2013 tour, and Ed made a comment about them playing it "safe" the previous years in terms of their set lists, and they were going to do more to challenege themselves.

Trust me, they will find a way to put something together to try and "top" this kind of set list. But ultimately, every show is great and a set list doesn't necessarily make it the holiest of holy. Many people lose their minds just because they can scratch out a song to finish an album or one they never heard of before, which is great - but ultimately every show and the set list Ed creates is perfect for that time and place. What makes Ed who he is as a front man, and this band as one of the greatest fucking bands ever.

I just hope they come proper during the US fall tour and continue to challenege themselves with sets like this.

Good post. Whilst I was at Leeds and loved it and is the best I've been to, I agree they will try to better it soon. I've been thinking that every night of the tour and how the setlists do get better each night.

=D> Completely agree. Especially with the 'the setlist doesnt make it the holiest of holy.'

Maybe I'm just jealous... )
