Improvised Setlist

[montrealmike]

"Last night in Halifax the band decided to do away with set lists and spontaneously perform. They liked it so much, in fact, that the trend may continue. Hopefully it was as interesting for the audience as it was for the band (or they hope so, at least). While Matt realizes that we live in a very safe and predictable world, the hope is that people will ultimately enjoy feeling uncomfortable about it."

 

Sounds good to me!! Can't wait for Montreal!!

That's incredible!

 

I too hope Montreal is done in the same fashion!

[montrealmike]

where did you hear this from?

yeah, sorry about that. I assumed everyone read it already.

[Maverick]

So then, was anyone at the concerts with no "setlist" and can therefore inform us of what MG was playing?

[marik]

i've very curious as to what they played. same songs in just a different order, or some new songs all together? i already though Matt Good had probably the most varied set lists out of any other performer i've ever seen. i mean, opening a show with a solo, acoustic Apparitions?!!!!!

The Tragically Hip have the most varied setlist I've ever seen. They play atleast 7 or 8 different songs every night. Once maybe Matt starts playing 20 songs, he'll really shake up the setlist. But, if anything, it looks like he atleast changes the order every night, which is cool. I guess in a couple of more albums he'll start throwing some Ghetto or BM songs back into the setlist...

I remember when he did a version of symbolistic white walls... I think that was on the Avalanche tour.

Now I want him to come back to Vancouver even more!! I have not had my fill yet!

Well, if it's improvised, how would you really know until showtime! (sorry for the sarcastic tone, but just thought it was too easy to pass...)

[juanpe]

Yes, he redid the last verse and changed the arrangement somewhat. Awesome. I have an mp3 of it somewhere...but it's nowhere near as good as hearing it live. There should be a copy of it on the Hub. Taylor (thebrokenrecord), or someone closly associated with him posted a high quality boot from a Kool Haus show recorded on the Avalanche Tour....maybe you folks already have it. If you don't, I highly recommend downloading a copy of the show. It's excellent.

[saturnine]

i can't join the hub.. i don't have any live mg.. and i can't get any live stuff because i can't join the hub. splendid

You don't need live material to join the MG Hub. You just need any MG/B related multimedia to achieve the 250MB quota; music videos, ripped CDs, etc. are fine. Check out this thread as it has some information about quotas and such for the Hub.

I like the idea about just jamming out for 2 hours quite a bit. Although at the moment Metallica has the most varied setlist out there. they must have at least 40 songs in rotation. What a great show they put on too.

[Maverick]

THE MAN, noone cares about your Metallica fetish... they fucking suck.. nothing more to be said.... other than the fact that you suck as well...

 

lol, score one for the good guys.

[THE MAN]

Harsh. I may cry soon from your stinging insults.

[Maverick]

hey buddy... don't try to gain my respect with your petty hyperbole's that have no effect on me.... just shut up and stop posting cause you're useless....

[THE MAN]

Please forgive me for angering the great Maverick.

[Maverick]

Who are you to ask for forgiveness from the almighty Maverick? Now go.... and never return.

[THE MAN]

Who are you to deny The Man's forgiveness?

[Maverick]

Who are you to ask about the denial of forgiveness?!
