OPENING SONG, REALISTIC SET LIST, MAYBE 1-2 DEEP CUTS???

[simplerhym]

OK, apologies if there's a thread on this. This is NOT a fantasy dream set list, however one that is plausible, given:
1) VH past performances with Dave
2) Tunes Dave has done live recently
3) Possibly, consider songs with minimal backing vox, but not a requirement
4) Throw in 1-2 deep cuts, since we probably won't get more than that.
5)Limit the set list to no more than 17 songs.
I personally would like to be proven wrong, but I don't see a 'totally out of left field' set list like we got on the III tour, where it was anything goes.

Here's my 2 cents --in order


1. UNCHAINED
2. HOT FOR TEACHER
3. ROMEO DELIGHT
4. RUNNIN WITH THE DEVIL
ALEX SOLO
5. MEAN STREET
6. EVERYBODY WANTS SOME
7. PANAMA
8. HEAR ABOUT IT LATER ** DEEP CUT
9. DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
10. CRADLE WILL ROCK
11. SOMEBODY GET ME A DOCTOR
EDDIE AND WOLFGANG SOLO SECTION (Poss with Alex playing along)
12. IN A SIMPLE RHYME (Cream in my pants DEEP CUT)
13. JAMIE'S CRYIN
14. LITTLE GUITARS

ENCORE
15. YOU REALLY GOT ME/HAPPY TRAILS
16. AIN'T TALKIN BOUT LOVE
ENCORE 2
17. JUMP

Feel free to run with it!

I would be surprized if they played "In a Simple rhyme".

[MF5150]

I would love to hear Romeo Delight as the opener but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Everybody Wants Some. with the drums and guitar opening it.

MAYBE I SHOULD CLARIFY. When I said 'DEEP CUT' I meant a song you really dont think they WOULD play, but you REALLY WANT THEM TO PLAY IT. THANKS

Openers- Unchained or On Fire
Deep Cuts-Atomic Punk-Sunday Afternoon In The Park,
One Foot Out The Door

it's pretty obvious what the set list will look like

Can you add to that a BIT? LOL....Do you mean it will be a carbon copy of 1984 set list? Also, I did forget about ON FIRE and ICE CREAM MAN, so there go my deep cut slots

I hope for the love of God they drop the 'everybody must solo' crap....a bass solo is silly....the drum solo can be and extended part of a song....and Eddie..lets face it...I only went in 2004 to see him....so his solo spot is fine...hopefully he'll play it better this summer than he did in 2004.

even when mike was in the band, the only one deserving a solo is eddie. in rush, only neil peart takes one, and the others are no slouches. bands like yes, which is loaded with top-notch players doesn't even have any. i am all for ZERO solos and a 21 song set list--OR MORE

light up the sky as the opener!!!

Give that man a cigar. I like that choice a lot for the opener and I'd also figure that in as a deep cut I guess.

I'd really like to see them play Drop Dead Legs as my other deep cut choice.

I really don't want to open a whole new kettle of fish here, but I would actually prefer that they stay away from songs with a lot of harmonizing like In a Simple Rhyme. I'd miss hearing Mikey, and I'm not sure that they could do a song like that justice without his background vocals. Just a personal opinion.

Heh. Generic VH101 Setlist.

[arackofwhat]

Hot For Teacher
Everybody Wants Some
Runnin' With The Devil
And The Cradle Will Rock
The Full Bug

Mean Street
Can't Get That Stuff No More

[Judgement Day]

Now that Dave's back I'm sure he'll jump at the chance to delve deep into the catalog and sing ones like Summer Nights and AFU...haha yeah right that might happen It would be nice to hear On Fire and Atomic Punk though.
