*** VANCOUVER 2 - 2024 SETLIST THREAD ***

Zod

I liked getting the new songs, so I expected a lot of repeats with them.  My disappointment, was they didn't play one less, then sub it with Waiting for Stevie, so bummed we didn't get that one in Vancouver.  Could of repeated one less song to get it in :(

Other than that, I dug the shows.  I felt there was a bit more energy on night 2 and dug that setlist a lot more.   Now I'm sad the shows are over :(

I went to both Ohana Encores in 2021 and Phoenix in spring 2022, and they played six, five, and four, respectively, from Gigaton. They played four, four, and three in the shows I saw in fall 2022.

I said it before, I don't care if they go nuts on this album. I like it. I would rather have variety. I'd love to hear the whole thing in Vegas next week over the two shows. But I think it is weird for them to do the same four in the same order two shows in row. I hope that doesn't become a thing. 

In between the beginning of the tour in 2022-- when they played eight songs from Gigaton-- and the fall shows, Matt got COVID and Josh and Richard couldn't play most of those songs in his stead, so the band got out of the habit of playing most of those songs. I think that's part of the reason why the fall shows were lighter on Gigaton than the spring shows and Ohana. Remember, the first night at Ohana, they came out and played four straight Gigaton songs, five out of the first six and six out of the first nine. And it was awesome. And it was only a 19-song set.

DTE is another one where they are using the screen.  The original video in super large size of everything.  This could explain the repetition.

Honestly I would be happy to hear DTE at every show until the end of time.  Alive, that I could take a break from.  It remains alone at 100% for me.

Also the fact that the DM portion of the show is repeated and there are fewer slots for variety available actually makes me want to hit more shows.  Like if I want to hear something like Inside Job, my odds aren’t good on a small number of shows.

We'll see where this goes, but don't love the same four songs played in a row two straight nights. Kind of cool on the opener but hope it doesn't become a thing

Look, I hear you, but I don’t care. They are INTO these songs and I’m stoked to see 9/11 on any given night. The debut of upper hand might have already become one of my favorite live performances I’ve heard from them. As long as they keep rotating in from all over the catalogue, I will be pleased to see the 12 shows I have ahead. I could see them scaling back maybe to 7-8 DM songs, but think it’ll be awhile before it’s less than that.

I would have written that out as "nine out of eleven."

Yah, play a bunch off the new album, some hits and favourites, doesn't leave many slots for rarities/covers.

It's not like the 2016 tour where they weren't touring for a new album, and played 3 hour+ sets from their archive of songs.  Hit so many white whales in that era

It’s gonna be interesting to see how the setlists look the rest of this leg. I won’t be surprised if it turns out we were pretty lucky to get to see a certain song or two from the new album played. I’m confident we’ll get to see Stevie in the future but not so sure about all the others.

I hope you're wrong. I actually think a lot of the songs from dark matter are going to become staples for the rest of the band's career. It's the best album they've ever made in my opinion.
