VH Setlist starting to stink!!!

[delta5150]

Me think so, I've listened to all
the bootlegs up and including 10-10-2007, and I just think to myself, why the fuck do they open with "You really got me"?
Why the fuck did they let Wolfie choose the setlist? Why play all the fucking hits? when most of their best songs aren't hits.

You imagine if they take out
"little dreamer", "I'll wait", "You really got me" "Pretty woman" and played for e.g "Loss of control" "D.O.A" "House of Pain", "On fire"

They really need to change the setlist and make it more hardcore, they could play "drop dead legs" for the first bloody time too

[hotdog@ a shake]

uh, yeh, ok ...

[Grant]

They obviously throw in the hits purely for much of the uninitiated who go to the shows. Pretty much every band does it. Why is it so surprising?

[Fairwrning]

Agree...they should change up a bunch of songs every night or 2...hell..throw in a little 2-3 song acoustic jam..make each show a bit unique..

[VAiN]

It would be great if they at least mixed up the order of the songs played and had a floater or 2 in there to alternate... but hey, I'm not complaining... when you're there it really doesn't matter.

[Eyes of the Night]

I think age has something to do with them not being able to play the "rockers" ...

[Fairwrning]

I think "You're no good" is kick ass live..but I doubt Dave can hit those highs that go along with the lead..that was legendary shit..they could change the tone a bit and throw it in tho..that would actually play well in an acoustic set..along with " take your whiskey" and a slew of others

[vh rides again]

daves the greatest, but sorry, for him to try and sing (on fire) would be silly.

same with alot of songs, if you caant do those great songs justice, dont attempt it.

what the fuck do you want them to do? go out there and have everyone saying that sounded like shit?

think about your new posts before you hit the submit button.

[Deklon]

You guys are kidding right? They're playing 25 songs. They're playing at least as well as they ever have. They're playing plenty from every album. Rockers you say? Have you seen I'm the One, HFT, Unchained, Atomic Punk, Cradle Will Rock, Mean Streets. Ummmm, those rock.
Mix up the set list? They never have mixed it up. Most people see them one time, maybe two. Plus, I think we can be pretty confident that this is not a one and done tour. My read of the live show was that they were happier together than ever. I think they believe they sound better too. They'll mix it up next year.

As Yoda say, Patience, young skyrocker..........

[naturochem]

You think Zeppelin will exclude "Stairway to Heaven", in lieu of "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp" or some other obscure tune, that happens to be the favorite of a small percentage of their fan-base on the upcoming reunion gig??

Not that RWTD or any VH hits can be compared with STH... but when did the last tour of a major act NOT include some versions of the band's hit list??

Maybe if the tour survives long enough to hit somewhere in your vicinity, they'll have modified their set list to better accommodate your particular favorites! Or you could try sending a telegram...

i beg your pardon, stairways great but, it doesnt trump any vanhalen song bro.
great song, but kinda whiney.

[Little Lamont]

Give some niggas a million bucks and they'll complain about the shade of green on the bills...

[Fairwrning]

All I am saying is throw out fuckin "Pretty Woman" in favor of "Hear about it later' every once in awhile..the place would implode..the brothers would even have a place to extend a jam with Wolf..

..wasn't saying it "trumped" a motherfuckin' thing, holmes. From a historical perspective to compare the song to any VH song is just moronic.

For the record, "Stairway" ain't on my ipod like the entire VH collection, but I don't think the tune is "whiny" in the least...

From a song writing perspective, there aren't many better R&R tunes around.
