The Strokes setlist

[Gaaz]

What a coup for the IOW. The f**king Strokes.

Anyway just thought for a bit of fun we could speculate over possible setlists, realistic ones and your dream ones maybe?

I'll just put up my dream one.

The Modern Age

Juicebox

Razorblade

You only live once

Hard to explain

Under control

Automatic stop

What ever happened?

Last Nite

When it started

Someday

12:51

Reptilia

Vision of division

Take it or Leave it

[thomasowen]

Is This It

When It Started

Juicebox

Heart in a cage

The Modern Age

New Song

Soma

You Only Live Once

12:51

Hard to Explain

Reptilia

Automatic Stop

Someday

Red Light

The End Has No End

When It Started

Last Night

Take It Or Leave It

[Kyelo]

I reckon it will be a 60/40 split in favour of old stuff as they have a new album to promote.

hard to explain

new york city cops

reptillia

clampdown

you guys need more songs in your proposed setlists as their songs are all pretty short.

mine without the new songs and the clash cover clampdown is only 1 hour 4 minutes long with those three new songs and their regular set finisher Clampdown it would bump it to around 1 hour 20 minutes long and healdiners usually get around 90 minutes.

and The Strokes don't do that fake Encore bullshit so no Encore, Clampdown usually heralds the end of their set (sometimes take it or leave it)

Wouldn't be so sure dude when I saw Strokes headline Wireless festival, they did do an encore (New York City Cops, Take A Walk On The Wildside, Take It Or Leave It) and they played way less than the 18 tracks I listed about 14 in fact.

It always takes longer live than it does on record. They will be proper rock and roll though, no b.s., very rough and ready.

Julian was so smashed when I say them he said "hello we're the strokes" slipped fell on the back of his head, got up, said "woah okay" and launched into Heart In A Cage. It was awesome. Fab Also did a jig on his drumkit during Reptilia which was pretty sureal.

Setlistfm reveals that most of their sets seem to vary between 18 and 22 songs and Take It Or Leave it seems to be the most popular final song.

I've seen em a few times and yeah their usual last song is Take It Or Leave It. They are usually on for about 1hr 30mins or so can be slightly less!!

I really hope they open their set with something lively like Reptilia, Juicebox or even Last Nite to get the crowd going. As for playing new songs i suppose it all depends on how far along they are with the album. I would imagine a couple of songs sneaking into the set maybe

I had a look on setlist fm and here's a couple of setlists to give an idea into what they played, even tho it was 2006 and they were promoting First Impressions Of Earth

This is their last gig listed at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, Providence USA....

They did play around with that setlist during that tour, started with Juicebox sometimes. Their Isle Of Wight setlist will be full of hits. It's gonna be amazing. I can't wait

I'd be quite happy for them to play every song they've ever recorded.

[Sparticus]

I saw them a few years back on valentines day, good thing about the strokes is that they recognise their first album is what skyrocketed their popularity and don't shun it (Can be quite frustrating when you pay a lot of money to see an artist and they decide to omit their biggest songs, not really fair on the casual fan). Point is they played every song off is this it, bar is this it, ended with reptilia and take it or leave it, just a fantastic night

That's the last time i saw them. It was Blackpool Empress Ballroom wasn't it. Was an amazing gig

[thomasowen]

was indeed, they were fantastic that night, still think the third album gets too much stick, love tunes like ize of the world.
