Setlist from the show in Montreal (Le National), October 17th Lights of Endangered Species Set Me on Fire Born Losers What If I Can't See The Stars Mildred? Zero Orchestra The Future Is X-Rated Load Me Up Non Populus Apparitions Weapon Shallow's Low ******* While We Were Hunting Rabbits (Acoustic) A Silent Army in the Trees Simply a fantastic show, with a lot of talking from Matt (at least 5 times). In my opinion, the new guitarist was awesome. Didn't sound exactly like Stu for sure, but I can't tell which one I prefer as the two of them are both really good. The piano also makes a good add-on compare to the 2009 tour, on a song like Weapon for exemple.

For me, it would be: 1) Pink Floyd 2) Rush 3) Placebo 4) Pearl Jam 5) Matthew Good 6) Nine Inch Nails 7) Blue October 8) Rammstein 9) Live 10) Muse The New Pornographers, Holly McNarland, Kula Shaker, Stabbing Westward and The Tea Party would surely be in the next 5 places...

From the 00s: David Gilmour - Live at Gdansk Placebo - Meds Nine Inch Nails- With Teeth Blue October - Foiled Muse - Black Holes and Revelations Rammstein - Mutter Live - V Wilco - Sky Blue Sky Eddie Vedder - Into the Wild Serj Tankian - Elect the Dead From the 90s: Pearl Jam - Ten Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing Pink Floyd - The Division Bell Matthew Good Band - Beautiful Midnight Rush - Test for Echo Stabbing Westward - Wither Blister Burn & Peel Age of Electric - Age the Electric Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Pearl Jam - Yield Live - Secret Samadhi

My top 5 for 2009: Placebo - Battle for the Sun Matthew Good - Vancouver Rammstein - Liebe Ist Fur Alla Da Muse - The Resistance Mad June - We're Not Strangers

From the content of the setlists posted on this tread: Weapon, Apparitions & Great Whales of the Sea have been played in all 22 shows so far. The Boy Who Could Explode, Empty's Theme Park, Last Parade & Born Losers have been played in 21 out of 22 and Giant at 20/22. The trend is that that those 7 songs are the core of any shows of this tour, and 7 to 9 other songs (2 to 4 from the Vancouver Album) are added to the show.

Here's the setlist for the Quebec City Show (December 1st): On Nights Like Tonight Avalanche The Boy Who Could Explode Great Whales of the Sea Born Losers Us Remains Impossible A Silent Army in the Tree Black Helicopter The Future is X-Rated Odette Weapon Apparitions Encore: Giant Last Parade Empty's Theme Park So a setlist similar to the other ones, except for The Future is X-Rated which Matt played for the second time of the tour (sounded great, maybe a keeper for the second half of the tour). No LMU or HTB, which is just fine with me. I founded the On Nights Like Tonight was a good opener. Great show in general, with a solid Weapon-Apparitions duo to end the main set (6th show in a row with it) and a wonderful finish with Empty's Theme Park, probably the song from the Vancouver Album that I liked the most "live". I was also very happy to see Avalanche played. Also, as usual, a little bit of talking from Matt 3 or 4 times during the show. The other band members were also great tonight, except maybe for the bassist on the first half of the show, which I founded a bit too relaxed (chewing gum, standing still and not looking at the crowd at all). Finally, I really enjoyed Mother Mother, which I've never heard before. The singer's voice (and some part of the sound) had me compared them to Placebo, one of my favorite band. See you in Montreal next week (Thursday) ! He also played it in Quebec City.
