Apparently if you’re the number one fan of the greatest rock band since the Beatles, you get to do cool stuff.
Like create a set list for a concert.
If I’ve figured it out right (and I’m sure I have because it includes Bugs), this is the set list that Farias put together.
My own would look something like this:
Set 1
Life Wasted
The Fixer
Alive
Corduroy
Unthought Known
Animal
Black
WMA
In My Tree
Better Man
Hail Hail
Worldwide Suicide
Nothing as it Seems
Daughter
Can’t Keep
Given to Fly
Indifference
Rearviewmirror
Encore 1
Release
Do the Evolution
Breath
I Got Id
Porch
Encore 2
I’ve Got a Feeling
Glorified G
Leash
Baba O’Riley
Yellow Ledbetter
I felt compelled to try and include at least two songs off of all of their studio albums, just for fairness sake. Even so, it’s obviously heavy on the early stuff, and I’m not sure I was able to find two off Riot Act I would like to hear more than any of the others. What should I have included that I didn’t? Or should I have put them in a different order?
You need something off Riot Act. It’s head and shoulders better than Pearl Jam (the Avocado album). I’d go with “Love Boat Captain” or “Ghost.” or maybe Eddie doing a solo ukelele version of “Can’t Keep.”
Can’t Keep made the list, and I almost included Love Boat Captain.
Elderly Woman behind the counter needs to be on the list as does Nothingman and a cover of something I wouldn’t expect out of the band like Bob Seger’s Night Moves just to make the concert more memorable.
Elderly Woman should be on there. And you’re right about covers. I’ve got two on there, but that’s one of my favorite parts of seeing bands live.
