Have they really rehearsed 90+ songs?
 

BTW I posted this in another thread but I doubt anybody saw it:


Around the 4.22 mark you can see their basic setlist (?) because it has guitar specs and all that stuff. It's basically everything we've got so far except for COUTOH. What do you make of it, the core has remained the same but there've been some additions (WGIGO and WLOL) and some songs that have been demoted to audibles or played only once. Is this just an old list? It's odd they would have it around if they don't plan to use it, but wouldn't they have an updated one? There's a longer list next to this one, with the dots and all, but I can't see shit.

These are the songs:

THINFS
Knockout
Bad Name
BTBMB
Follow
Roller coaster
Working Man
LH
Who Says
IML
God Bless
LWTG
Scars
Devil's
NYD
Sat. Night
BOB
LYHOM
WDR
HAND
Medicine
KTF
Come On Up To Our House (!!)
Wanted
Prayer

I guess this confirms that they haven't really rehearsed more than the new songs and the same ol' regulars..

Interesting, I'd love to see what's on the other sheet. I don't see Capt. Crash, I Got The Girl or Runaway on that list, they're probably on the other sheet with other songs they haven't played yet or decided they won't be playing.

this and come on, the US tour is always the same because half of the arena just don't care, they want the hits....

I dont see always nor raise your hands...

Tried editing a screenshot but didn't have any luck :(

It's a set list scheduled for Jan 25th. I wouldn't read too much into it. They've played songs that aren't on the sheet.

**** 90 songs - you're missing 26 pages about a glitch in the other thread....[emoji869]

Agreed with the above. This was probably filmed at that show and that was the proposed setlist for the night.

There we have the reason why Always and Saturday Night cannot be played, right at 3:47: Phil's (or is it John's?) sheets with the chords are damaged ;-)

Yeah, cause that's totally the reason why they were dropped so quickly and barely played since. Definitely NOT the fact that they're vocally demanding and Jon can't even touch the right key in the choruses without post-show pitch adjustments. :rolleyes:

And as far as the main question of the thread goes - no, they obviously haven't, only a naive person could believe that. That's just the rough estimation on the no. of songs they "know", meaning they have been played in the last 6-7 years or so and are thus on the sample list in David's equipment.

Otherwise, they'd have played more than 30 of them so far.

That was a joke, as you might have noticed, although you're being overly critical once again. "Can't even touch the right key" is just over the top. Yeah, there are some bum notes here and there, but they key is quite right. Without pitch adjustments. And no, I'm not one to blindly defend Jon, but that's just too much criticism for me...

Greenville was OK, but it was Jon going at 120% and remains by far his best vocal performance, thus it's not sustainable, nor representative.

The Forum performance of Always is the definition of not being able to touch the right key. He didn't nail a single "WILL love you" "FOREVER and a day" "don't SHINE", "words don't RHYME".

Saturday Night attempts were a tad better, but it's still obvious that the vocal demands is the reason why it was dropped soon afterwards.

Really?

At the start of the second chorus (around 1:45), Jon actually hits the "will love you". It's, of course, a serious shout fest and doesn't really sound pleasant (to my ears at least), but he's in tune. The same goes for the start of the third chorus (around 3:23). However, the first and last choruses are flat and weak all the way through.
