Elbow October Setlists...

What do you want people... now that the SSK tour has finished... whats the oct setlist gonna be


i want it to be something like...

starlings
bones
leaders
fallen angel
great expectations
station approach
grounds
stops
tower crane
mexican standoff
one day like this

--------

forget myself
scattered
grace under pressure

---------

i think thats amazing... what do you think people... what do you want/predict...

I'm guessing it'll be... TSSK... as that's what they said they'll tour.
Now, you are but a wee pickle, stop wishing your fucking life away, there are TWO WHOLE months until they tour!

i cant contain the excitement though!!

Get a fucking grip!

what on earth are you insinuating????

I loff the elbow... belife me... but two months, two whole months where i start a new job, move house, get a new flat mate start a whole new chapter of my life... there has got to be more to life than specuating over a setlist!

fair-doos... i was just thinking thats all. my mate bought me tickets the other day (welll yesterday actually) so im a little excited...

im getting my GCSE results next week, and going on holiday, and starting college the week after that... hows that for you????

Sarah is clearly having some kind of a break down, so I'll just quickly brush over that... oookay...

I personally just want the setlist to be at least somewhat different from the last gig in Leeds, that's all. TSSK in its entirety would be incredible, I'd love that.

No Newborn???...sacrilege!!!

No break down, gin, i sorry, carryon!

"starlings
bones
leaders
fallen angel
great expectations
station approach
grounds
stops
tower crane
mexican standoff
one day like this

sounds good to me, except i'd maybe swap 'forget myself' and 'fallen angel'.
two weeks tomorrow... i'm so excitgd.

These setlists suggested so far look like previous tours.

As much as i love Starlings i think they should go back to opening with Station Approach, although i did like it as part of the encore...

Noooooo!!!! I think Starlings is the best opener ever!!!!

It's pretty ace like. But the first time i saw them it was at the Apollo in Manchester and they opened with Station Approach, and it was just perfect, it can't be topped.

starlings to open... grace to finish... THATS THE RULES!!

Hahaha if they play Friend of ours, i'll break down it just affects me soo much NEWBORN MUST BE PLAYED

I don't care what the setlist is. I'm just glad to be seeing them again.

Freind of ours would be great. Weather to fly and Audience with the Pope would be awsome. Glad I saw some of the earlier shows too, it was nice to see live interpretations of Snooks and bitten by the tail fly. A couple of old/ more obscure tunes them wouldn't go a miss. I think they need to shake things up a bit. The shows for the last tour were awsome but the setlist was pretty static (nice to see Mr Hawley though, I don't think we'll get him as much on this new tour). Yeah, they could benefit from shaking things up a bit.

So am I!
But it would be nice to have a couple of surprises, I mean, they have SO much great stuff to choose from!

True, but I'm not sure they'll fiddle around too much. Just think how many newbs may well come along since they won the Mercury Prize. They'll likely only know TSSK (and even then possibly only Grounds for Divorce and One Day Like This) and none of the earlier stuff.

What a treat they're in for

i think they should get powder blue and red out of the dusty box and give them a spin!!

All the more reason to treat them to a couple of rarer earlier ones, or try out a new demo! Think they have the confidence now, and enough live back catologue to vary the set along the tour (major part being the performance of TSSK of course!)

Ribcage to open, if not Starlings.

Am seeing them in Leeds, Gateshead and Manchester next month. Is it too uch to ask that they play Some Riot, Tower Crane Driver and Powder Blue?

Tower Crane Driver is GUARANTEED
