Anyway, I liked it that they played Scattered (with Nuclear Family in between, man I gotta see how it was done), Waiting, Christie Road, Are We The Waiting and to support you, a few songs from Insomniac would have been even better but I'm taking this as more of a warm-up performance after quite a time gap and not to mention we've already seen one more setlist where songs like Armatage Shanks, some more Insomniac/Nimrod songs and even Say Goodbye was present!

stories and songs Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I love Holiday and St. Jimmy, but they could swap either out for Say Goodbye and it would work perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 They play the hits for casual fans and randos. Not everyone is psycho into them like we are. Even a fan of the band may only know the hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Winn Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I feel like they should do three setlists. A RevRad setlist, a 'fast setlist', with songs like Holiday, Letterbomb, AI, Minority, and a ton of 90s stuff. And an a acousting setlist with songs like BoBD, WMUWSE, 21 Guns, The Forgotton, Good Riddance etc. If each set is 12 songs, and they cut out the Hey Ohs and 15 minute long KFAD/Shout, it should come in at about 2 and a half hours. Then do an encore of Jos, Homecoming and DRB. 3 hour show, like they have done for much of their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengd Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 This is all classic "you can please some of the people some of the time" scenario. I have a friend who will be seeing them live for the,first time this tour and who would be gutted if she didn't get to see the big hitters. So yes, I could cope without KFAD but she wants to see it live. Yes can't wait for another boring Green Day concert lol 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus2000 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The reality is. I'm going to see them for the first time in my life in February and when I am actually there I'll be happy with whatever the fuck they do play. The setlist and what song is coming next will be the last thing on my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can listen their hits at home in better quality too. If I go to the show I would like to hear something they don't play very often. What kind of argument is that, you could also hear Ha Ha You're Dead or any rarity at home. The point of going to a show is to see them play (any song) live and breath the same air as them.

cabot_girl Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have to agree with those who find the setlist a bit old/boring. KFAD/shout has played its role I think.. They have tons of good songs to choose from, and they should change the setlist... I was at a Bruce Springsteen show this summer, he was playing almost nonstop for over 3 hours.

Beerjeezus Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I hope this was just a warm-up show and they'll bring more deep cuts later along the tour, as well as longer shows and they should ditch kfad. (I might end all my posts with KFAD must be ditched from now) They really didn't do anything surprising except for the Scattered/NF mashup. I'm not too happy about the small amount of 21CB/Trilogy material they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanPak Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 God they really need to get rid of king for a day, it's been done to death by this stage. They could play 2 or 3 more songs in that time. Bang Bang sounds brilliant live though! Good to see them on the road again even if the setlist is a bit samey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm surprised at the lack of new songs on the setlist. I guess they'll play more of them after the album comes out. I'm also surprised at the omission of BOBD and WMUWSE, but pleased to see AWTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the arena shows or open-air-shows (if there will be some) will be longer. At least that's my experience. When they play at festivals, the shows are shorter, too. Might be the same with club shows. I really think they are some kind of warm-up period. They haven't toured in years and have to get used to it again. Plus, probably they weren't 100% healthy yesterday. And I'm fine with the setlist, I don't get the hate for KFAD. It's my highlight, I just love it And it's no surprise that they didn't play too many new songs, it was the same at the shows I went to in 2012 before the trilogy came out. Just because you have listened to the leak doesn't mean we all (and especially the not-so-hardcore-fans out there) have. ;-) Still hoping for some trilogy songs though!

Just watching the footage from Bullet in a Bible, everyone was up, dancing with strangers, and if that isn't epic I dunno what is haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okotavio Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I really don't get why Green Day explicitly forgot 21 Guns exists after the 21stCB tour. They seem to hate their own hits: 21 Guns, WMUWSE, BOBD... grrr Also that setlist structure has been around for lilterally more than a decade. Time for a change huh? I'm not even saying that old "stop the 10 minutes KFAD" but the whole thing is getting outdated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeandcambria Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 There's a lot of entitlement going around. This band doesn't owe it to you to play deep cuts, they don't owe you anything at all. Be happy that they play for 2+ hours almost every show, there are bands out there that play 1 hour headlining shows, playing the exact same songs they always do. Green Day still changes it up each tour, adding in different songs, like Scattered. If you're bored with it, don't go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziebix Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I mentioned to hubby that the set list was pretty similar to when we've seen them. He said that that was disappointing and then asked me if I loved every minute anyway (thanks, jim)? My answer was, of course, yes. I'm just so happy to have them back touring and in fine form. I really don't care what they play. I'm happy with it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James11693 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Anyone bummed about how short the set list was? Not that it was short, but for a Green Day show it kind of is. I don't think it even hit 2 full hours. Glad they are back but the set list itself could seriously use something fresh. Throw in some more rare songs. I'd like to see more Breakdown and Trilogy songs on there to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
