It was really hard for me not to put in Bat.. But I've seen it live the 6 times I've seen him so I figured it could take a miss from my perfect setlist lol

chansadres · 02 Mar 2013, 18:13

I think the 2 sets type of concert is better than all the songs in once. So I broke the setlist in two:

Set 1:
Hot Patootie
Dead Ringer for Love
Life Is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back
Couldn't Have Said It Better
Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through
You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth...
More Than You Deserve

Set 2:
All Revved Up with No Place to Go
Los Angeloser
Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
Welcome to the neighbourhood medley: Left in the Dark/Original Sin/Not a Dry Eye in the House
If It Ain't Broke Break It
Two Out of Three Ain't Bad
Bat Out of Hell

Encore:
I'd Do Anything for Love

I would generally disagree with this unless, as Meat is doing, an artist is performing and showcasing a whole album. The "album in its entirety" seems to be a fashion at the moment and I have no problem at all with that. But, when attending gigs I am one those who would rather not stop!
Nice setlist though!

This has gone on for so long that actually I think I'd be genuinely over the moon for you if he did Masculine!

My perfect setlist would be SURPRISES!!!! Because there are songs Meat "has" to do each time (AFL, Paradise, Took The Words etc) we can guess a good 50% of the setlist before the show even starts. I would love a setlist where I literally had no idea what was coming next, I guess it'd include some of album tracks we don't normally get.

Thinking about this tour specifically it'd be nice for the first act to include a nod to Bat II (given it's the 20 year anniversary, can you believe!!) so tracks like It Just Won't Quit and Everything Louder would be immense.

ShelbyLee · 05 Mar 2013, 17:16

I loved the Greatest Hits setlist on the VBO tour. Take that setlist (skip Lawyers, Guns, and Money) and add the more recent hits like Couldn't Have Said It Better and It's All Coming Back to Me Now and that would be the perfect setlist for me. And include Gimme Shelter in the encore.

rgs · 12 Mar 2013, 11:02

All "Live Around the World" for it's a perfect setlist:

I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)
Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back
Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through
Dead Ringer For Love
Heaven Can Wait
All Revved Up With No Place To Go
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
Wasted Youth
Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire)
Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
Midnight At The Lost And Found
Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)
What You See Is What You Get
Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
Hot Patootie (Whatever Happened To Saturday Night)
For Crying Out Loud
Bat Out Of Hell

Matty Morrice24 · 12 Mar 2013, 22:01

Frying Pan
Original Sin
Midnight
Took The Words
I'm Gonna Love Her
Surf's Up
Bad For Good
Rock n Roll Dreams
