Fun Stuff > BAND
Imagine if Skynyrd didn't play Freebird at a show...
ev0lve:
bowie didn't play space oddity and i'm remarkably glad he didn't.
some songs you just don't play live.
blindsuperhero:
I wouldn't say Ambulance vs. Ambulance was one of those must-play songs. I saw them (for the first time) a couple of weeks back, and I was mildly surprised they didn't play Burn, Piano Island, Burn, but not that much. Cecilia and the Silhouette Saloon, and Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck seem to be their most popular songs, but the highlight for me (along with Cecilia) was when they played Guitarmy directly followed by Fucking's Greatest Hits. It was one of the best gigs I've been to, and to make it better I had ticket number 00001, and I got a set-list off the sound engineer at the end.
But this is interesting. What do you think songs are that bands couldn't really get away with not playing?
KharBevNor:
I'm going to see Cradle of Filth on the 18th and the tour set-list I have got is, imo, awful. Mainly because I don't like their two latest, more popular albums, but still...The second song they've chosen off of Midian, 'Tortured Soul Asylum' is pretty shoddy, especially when they could have taken the vastly better 'Lord Abortion' or 'Death Magick for Adepts' and have had space to fit in something off of Bitter Suites to Succubi, possibly Scorched Earth Erotica, which is a brilliant track. Also, they have nothing off of Dusk...And Her Embrace, which is criminal!
What makes it bitterer is that I have their live album from 2001 and the set-list is so insanely better. They even did 'Queen of Winter, Throned' live on that one. That would be so amazing...

Well, I'm of the opinion that if you make a video for a song, you might as well play it live (and yes, there is a video for Ambulance vs. Ambulance).
They did play Cecilia and the Silhouette Saloon, though, which actually did surprise me, despite the people who kept yelling "Cecilia!" throughout the show.
Hmm, songs that bands couldn't get away with not playing? Well, Iron Maiden certainly couldn't get out of playing Fear of the Dark. Skynyrd probably had to play Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama. Sir Mix-a-lot (provided, you know, he still has a career) can't make some excuse for not doing Baby Got Back. Just, you know, the iconic song.
Korlin:
Hey blindsuperhero, you see them at the Cockpit?
Y'know the guy who Jordan gave a towel? That was me...
'cos I was bleeding everywhere...
Oh the irony.
(a crowdsurfer made me bounce my head off a monitor)
Oh, and mind posting that setlist? I wouldn't mind knowing it in full
