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.

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

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.

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

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 :P

playing Big Day Out mid January so will be good to see how the setlists are shaping up outside of these intimate shows

Indeed it is - that's what we come here for after all! Ponder away :)

I do love a good setlist discussion.

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 :ninja: ...I am surprised at the dislike for it! :P

Anyone else think "Here comes the night time" would be the perfect opener?

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'

i LOVE Suburban War and was so disappointed when they didn't play it at Leeds '10 / seemed to stop playing it all together on the Suburbs tour. best song on the album imo. one of my favourites. unfortunately can't see it making a return

On record it is an amazing song, like I said it's my favourite AF song, but I can only imagine it would be amazing played live. It strikes me as the sort of song that takes on a completely different feeling in a live performance.
