Title: Which songs should be put on the setlist of the 2013 Tour?
Post by: Guitarman1972 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...

No harmonica on the tour, so
- Haul away (beacause alreday played)
- Privateering (same reason)
- Corned Beef City (same reason)
- Yon two crows
- Gator Blood

Does everyone like Gator Blood except me?  Sorry, but I think it's absolute garbage! :disbelief

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.

I bet that the three he already played (Corned beef city, privateering and haul away) plus one or two of the blues...

If I Had You, now there's a blast from the past!  Another boxer reference, this time to Cassias Clay.

I don't think you meant to include Long Highway though.  An obvious mistake sir. ;D

In any case putting together a fan-based wish set-list from the die-hard-fans and sending it to Guy Fletcher to let him know what they have to play on the next tour is a really great idea...   :disbelief

He doesn't look back. And constructs the setlist on his own. So why can't he have the last word when it comes to the content of deluxe limited mega boxes etc.?

I agree with Pottel.. Probably three new songs and the 'standard' list of songs

i would like him to play the whole album with a few other songs at the beginning and end.If Bruce Springsteen can play 3 and a half hour shows why can't Mark at least get to  2.5 hours. 
I know its not going to happen but he needs serious setlist shakeage.

after hearing don't forget your hat i am pretty sure it will be in the setlist, it is the stuff he likes to play that i find boring (sonny liston revisited or something)
redbud tree is brilliant by the way.

If he plays these again I'll go kill myself.  ;D
Not that it's bad songs or anythings but enough is enough. I could even add HFB and Marble on the please-don't-play list.

I love WAM, not with the whistle though - it's a rocker.  I'd add BIA too - not nearly as good as it was.

I don't want to hear any more : WII, WAM, STP, HFB, BIA, DWB, DG, SFSL, SFA, R&J, WOL, MFN, ANISLA
Still OK for SOS, SAN and TR but that's all !
Refreshment is needed !
Why not Boom Like That again? This one's a real rocker !

I also hope for that one. Feels like it suits MK edition 2013 well.

Hope for Iron Hand and The Man's Too Strong from the old stuff(could be GREAT with the folkies)
On Every Street perhaps!?
But what he's probably gonna do is the standard list with a few little changes, let's say 4 or 5 with 3 of them new one's

But let's hope for something really different!
