Forthcoming gigs... set lists... do you read 'em?

[Master Ray]

So, the lads are shortly gonna be back on the road... it's going to be November before us UK folks get to hear whatever tunes NMA are doing this time around...

I'm going to be very careful about what threads I read from this point on... it looks like the Manchester gig is going to be the first time I see the lads since last December... and I don't want to see a setlist between now and then.

What I love most about NMA gigs is how they always throw a couple of unexpected surprise tunes into the mix... not to mention how older songs suddenly have new life breathed into them in the context of newer tunes...

I guess what I'm getting at is to ask you not to ruin it for the rest of us if you catch an early gig from the BDAW tour.  Discuss away, by all means, but please post a spoiler notice!  Don't start a thread with something like 'Wasn't it briliant when they started with xxxxxxxxxxxx'!

Can't wait until November!

I 100% agree with you on this one Ray I to will be going to Manchester and don't want to know the set list before I go. Normally I try to avoid these post as well I like to be surprised by what songs are played and in what order.

[Master Ray]

Can I also say that I'm hoping for a big meet before the Manchester gig with some good and respected friends (some of whom I'm meeting for the first time... heck, it's a forum thing...) who'd best keep quiet about the forthcoming set when we meet... I've been watching a lot of BREAKING BAD this week and I don't wanna go all Walter White on your asses...

Is it my imagination - or have set lists become a bit more fixed in the last few years?

[Master Ray]

From recent experience, I've found that the main set tends to be quite inflexible but when it gets to the encores, it's anyone's guess...

i'm sure the main set used to vary quite a bit in years gone by?
(though maybe not the very early years)

I would have thought the set lists for dates on the tour will mainly be songs of the new album. After all, it is the reason for the tour. I am sure the set lists will be samey in November, but seeing the Army is not just about listening to the music, its the experience of it all.

[Master Ray]

Agreed, Shush, but if you blow the set for me when we finally meet, it's ON....

 

[Shush]

I'll be good

We start in Hamburg, which is the 2nd gig on this tour, so I think I will go there not knowing what's coming.
Anyway, I'm hoping for a MASSIVE percussion set on stage

BUMP!

Wow...    is this the real reason why setlists aren't posted on here anymore?  They're all I've got, being someone who resides thousands upon thousands of miles away, from the core / center of it all.

I think you missed my original point, buddy... as I said,   Discuss away, by all means, but please post a spoiler notice!

No, I did not miss your point.  I just wonder if anything on this page inadvertently deterred anyone from posting a setlist or two somewhere along the way,    that is all.
