Tuna Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Got a feeling one of the Neon Bible songs that was MIA for the Suburbs tour will be brought out and transformed with the new live band. literally, i will take anything plz mr arcade fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubic Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Haiti is one of my favourites, especially live. Thankfully they always play it. Not sure if Regine could handle In The Backseat live? The only obscure songs I'd be bothered about them playing from Neon Bible are The Well and the Lighthouse, and My Body is a Cage. From the bigger songs, I Reckon Month of May won't return, and maybe Laika or Tunnels. Personally I would rather they cut Intervention if anything.

rjb94 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah I love intervention but can see it getting cut, doesn't really fit in with the vibe they've been going for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 interested to see if / how they're going to keep up the 'disco' feel the intimate shows have had with the rest of their old material. surely they can't cut massive crowd pleasers like Intervention just because it doesn't fit in with the 'gimmick' (for lack of a better word) they're doing now also hope Awful Sound gets played in their bigger shows. listened to the second half of Reflektor on the train back from Blackpool the night after the show and something clicked and it became my favourite song from the album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I was surprised Awful Sound didn't get played at my gig. Have they been playing it at all? Seems such an obvious one to do live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems such an obvious one to do live. no don't think they've played it once (along with Here Comes The Night Time II and Porno (but even Porno got a tiny acapella bit)). definitely the biggest omission so do hope it gets played, although i'm having a hard time thinking of what songs they're going to cut from Reflektor on their big tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thought as much! Love how much you guys are analysing the setlist by the way. I think personally they're a band that I don't mind precisely what they play, just really hope they do (and am seeing them in June anyway ).

FloorFiller Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 yeah to be fair they could play any selection of songs from their discography and it'd be incredible. it's just nice to ponder playing Big Day Out mid January so will be good to see how the setlists are shaping up outside of these intimate shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponder away I do love a good setlist discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I reckon that my body is a cage is far batter than neon bible the song, that would be my song that I actively dislike, so dull and boring. And I'd love in the backseat back, far better than Haiti in terms of regine's songs IMO I love that song!! It's catchy and gets right in your head! (Not sure how good it would be live, but I love it when listening to Neon Bible), I also quite My Body is a Cage ...I am surprised at the dislike for it!

crosswillcastyourshadow Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Anyone else think "Here comes the night time" would be the perfect opener? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesT977 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Anyone else think "Here comes the night time" would be the perfect opener? I disagree i thought Reflektor was the best opening song i've heard at a gig for a long time, well that was until i heard War Pigs open the Sabbath gig last night...

CHRLY Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 They played awful sound at that kind of semi-acoustic Neil young gig, bridge school benefit I think it was called, not a proper gig though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjb94 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Anyone else think "Here comes the night time" would be the perfect opener? That's what I thought when I first heard it, but they make it work as a main set closer. Normal Person is a beastly opener, and I bet Reflektor is good too.

CHRLY Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I thought normal person was a great opener at blackpool and I really liked reflektor for the encore. As a massive fan id probably really enjoy reflektor as an opener but I think it might be too long to keep people intrested who don't really know them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alframsey Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 If they are at Glastonbury I pray to God that they play 'Suburban War' because it is one of my favourite AF songs, probably my favourite. 'Normal Person' is probably my favourite off of the new album, either that or 'We Exist' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It strikes me as the sort of song that takes on a completely different feeling in a live performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
