My ideal setlist (two versions)
- Slip to the void
2: Addicted to Pain
3: This is War
4: Brand New Start / Before Tomorrow Comes
5: Godspeed / Stay
6: Rue the Day / Disregarded
7: Scales are Falling / Lover
8: Broken Wings / All Ends Well
9: Watch Over You / Hang by a Thread
10: Tested and Able / Trust in Me
10: Last Man Standing / Island of Fools
11: Peace is Broken / Power Down
12: Fallout / Coeur D’Alene
13: White Knuckles / Ties That Bind
14: Fortress / The Last Hero / Dying Light
Encore:
15: Metalingus
16: Blackbird
17: Open Your Eyes
Setlist album counts (Setlist 1 vs 2)
ODR: 3/3
Blackbird: 4/3
ABIII: 2/2
Fortress: 3/3
TLH: 0/2
WTS: 1/1*
P&K: 2/1
AB: 3/4
Could certainly rearrange for better pacing, etc. The idea with the epic slot in 14 is to get an even mix of the 3 but probably play Dying Light if Godspeed isn’t played so there’s one WTS always.
This omits some setlist staples like Cry of Achilles, Rise Today, Burn it Down, Isolation, etc but the idea is to get a setlist refresh that plays some of their best songs that don’t always see the light of day.
I get that it’s tough for the boys to rehearse two separate set lists, especially with how busy they are, but I think if they could pull it off the fan base would be very pleased.
Also I think this setlist is about 94-95 minutes non-stop (according to AI, could be off), so could probably remove song 13 and maybe another to pare it down.
How would you all feel about this rotation if they rolled it out for a leg of the tour?
