Ash - any ideas of what sort of set lists they have been playing recently?

[kittycat100]

As the title really, haven't been able to get to see Ash recently, and am pretty excited about a small tent set for Reading.

Just wondering if anyone knew what sort of stuff they were likely to play? have they been focussing on the newer stuff (A-Z and Twilight) or playing plenty of the old stuff too? Don't know the new stuff that well so will get listening if its likely to be heavy on that!

Cheers!

Missed them at Glasto and I'll be missing them at Leeds, I've caught them loads of times so not too fussed. They never dissapoint.

[Vieuphoria]

I've never seen them =[ Missed them at Glasto, as i knew both Stevie and Orbital would be Glasto moments, and Ash wouldnt. Not missing them at Reading. Especially when Pendulum and AF is the only real competition there.

Disappointed they clash with Arcade Fire, as they'll be incredible in the tent, and I'd have been there on either of the other days. Never mind.

[kittycat100]

bother! forgot pendulum, what a choice!! Looks like a good enough set list too.

guess I'll have to see what the set times are like and work it out from there.

If I see Ash will be about the 15th time I've seen them, but haven't seen them for ages and in the small tent will be immense. But really looking forward to pendulum too... decisions decisions!

I saw them at Glastonbury, they were amazing.

It was mostly stuff from 1977 and the new stuff from the A-Z series. With other classics thrown in.

It was a really good show, and if you have not heard the new stuff I highly recommend getting the A-M album, it's a new direction for them, but pretty freakin' awesome.

I agree the A-M album is an improvement. Twilight of the innocents was very average and in terms of chart success I cant see them coming back fron such a commercial flop. Ash are a great singles band and I think they have another great single in them, but without radio 1, nme, kerrang support it will never get heard by most people.

Did pretty much the same in Leeds Academy not to long ago. This review summed it up http://www.sausagefox.com/ash.html

Hopefully slightly more older stuff for Leeds Fest.

Incase anyone is interested the whole Manchester show has been uploaded onto youtube by someone. http://www.youtube.com/user/abflipworks

I haven't watched it yet myself but I guess that'll be similar to the sort of performance they'll do at Reading, but longer here obviously. Personally I'll be at Arcade Fire but I've seen Ash a couple of times fairly recently just after they started the A-Z thing and they were really good both times so I'm sure they be great at Reading too.
