Which songs should be put on the setlist of the 2013 Tour?
« on: August 30, 2012, 03:56:08 PM »
Hi,

Normally Mark puts about 4 songs of the new album on the setlist of the Tour. Since this is a double album I would like to know which 5 songs of the album you would like to hear Live, and advice to put on the setlist. Keep a bit in mind that the songs you choose should also be kinda suitable for a live enviroment. And put the songs also in order of most important. To be clear, the one on number 1 is the one you absolutely want to hear live.

Here is my list:
1. Yon Two Crows (think this one also can and needs grow to an amazing extended edition)
2. Haul away
3. Bluebird
4. Dream Of The Drowned Submariner
5. Privateering

Best regards,
Michiel

ps. maybe when most of us have given their opinions, maybe someone can send this thread to Guy. So Mark and his band have some clues about what the fans would like to hear and which songs are most popular.

Idea is ok, but better put a poll here so people can vote.
Easier to send to Guy as well ;-))

How about (you reading this Mark):

Corned Beef
Hot Or What
Bluebird
Blood and Water

There are some others I'd love but just don't think they'd be good live due to the excellent production on the record.  Haul Away e.g. is so much better on the record than it was live last year when I didn't rate it at all.  Now it's one of my favourites on the album and it's all to do with the production, superior vocal, different - and actually audible - guitar.

Then there's restrictions of no harmonica, no sax...

I like it due to the similarities with R.L. Burnside's 'Poor Black Mattie" which I think is a major blues tune.

It's hard to make a monotonic song work so it needs that kind of rolling lick.

Don't like it much either, dmg. To me it's like a Louisiana swamp-ass version of Song for Sonny Liston, and with even less chord changes.

I also don't care much for Corned Beef City. The song has potential, but Mark's singing is too soft for it. And I can't stand the solo on it, it's so wimpy.
