here is no why

the beatles ---> you know what to do (demo)

I love the fact that A Single Explosion has found it's way into the setlist... I really want to hear Odette come back as well.

i wonder what (if any) changes to the Friday show?

i bet he does On Nights Like Tonight at the next gig...

and what exactly is a "realistic price" you think for Lo-Fi?

Watched American Gangster again. Love that movie. Very well done. Some pretty great scenes throughout, like when he walks out in the street with the sugar thing and shoots the guy in the head with his brothers watching... What a scene. Long movie though.

Lots of David Bowie... now... The Man Who Sold the World coming up... Changes Oh! You Pretty Things Andy Warhol Absolute Beginners Moonage Daydream Cracked Actor John, I'm Only Dancing Modern Love

yeah, no Avalanche or Blue Skies...!

Ty Cobb is such a great tune as well. The Day I Tried to Live would be another.

What songs would people need to hear live if they did return for gigs? Pretty Noose was always a favourite of mine.

saw a clip of him playing live... he sounded horrible.

totally forgot that website that came with the album.

well surely it stands for "house of smoke and mirrors" but as to why...?

As i said earlier, Matt could easily be playing 18-21 songs a night. A track from each album should be represented. I dont think we're going to get a lot of gems, rare stuff... older tracks. I think it's basically going to be the big name tracks and new songs the whole tour with maybe 1 or 2 different tunes being played here and there.

well he said he was going to play 6 or 7 tracks from Vancouver at each show. So that's not surprising. I still think the setlist could be longer for sure. Though, the fact that I still get to see him playing music is worth it enough, no matter what he plays. I just hope some changes happen to the set.

the genius that is Mr. Waits....

is the other version of Near Fantastica the acoustic version? that's how i based my answer from?

that's the thing, he doesn't need to play Time Bomb anymore, it's been done. hundreds of times. if he's going to choose a single to play... why not Carmelina or Everything Is Automatic instead? You know? Bring back Alabama Motel Room or even Empty Road? I'd much rather hear Odette or A Single Explosion again than Black Helicopter off Hostpital Music. I think at least every album he's made should be represented in a live set. But maybe that's just me. 14 songs too... a bit lame. With his back catelogue, Matt could easily do a 18-21 song setlist each night, which would mean... 2 of 3 guaranteed tunes (App/Time Bomb/Load) and some gems for the hardcore fans that have been there from the begining. Anyways, I guess we'll see as the tour progresses how it comes to be. Hopefully it gets changed up a bit.

I was sure Empty's would be played. Though, i figured it would be the last song in the main set... I'm tired of Time Bomb, he could go all tour and not play it and i would be more than happy. I think Apparations is a staple, should be played. Load Me Up is only interesting the last few years when paired with Generation X-Wing. Do one or the other... or neither, matt!

i think with his catelogue of songs Matt could be playing more each night.

1) Ex-pats of the Blue Mountain Symphony Orchestra 2) Suburbia 3) Put Out Your Lights 4) House of Smoke and Mirrors 5) Symbolistic White Walls 6) Double Life 7) Fought to Fight It 8) The Fine Art of Falling Apart 9) Near Fantastica

As posted in the other thread... the setlist from last night was: The set list from last night: the boy who could explode great whales of the sea born losers empty's theme park last parade hello time bomb volcanoes us remains impossible a silent army in the trees black helicopter apparitions weapon ------- giant load me up looks like a greatest hits and new songs setlist, which is a shame since Matt himself was saying how he wasn't going to play HTB and LMU in the same shows, must get boring to do those songs over and over. Hopefully he changes it up a bit as the tour goes on...

the Beatles A Hard Days Night ---> I'll Be Back ;)

oh how i wish he would play I Miss New Wave live again... or Man of Action... just once.

can't believe it's taken this long to see what he's played last night!
