Ah, the old "one of these songs is not like the others" rotation technique.

 

Also, not sure why you'd have Interlude as it's own staple as opposed to just attaching it to Hysteria. Out of the other songs in the rotation that comes after it, only Fury really works.

They can use it to rest or hide the screens of The Handler... I think Interlude + Futurism is really good, its a bass intro like Hysteria....

Bass intro in a different key though.

 

Hysteria and Fury both start on an A (the same key as Interlude), which is why those transitions work. Even then though, Fury's been played a step down since 2007/8(?) tmk so I guess that'd wouldn't really work either, come to think of it.

Actually played in the original key in 2013 btw.

Oh yeah, true. Had a feeling it was but couldn't be bothered to look it up and check

 

Back to Ab last year though iirc so I guess we can run with that still being the norm.

[Frakkles]

Overture into B&H is terrible. Like really bad. It builds into a song that builds.

[DifferentPerson]

What I'd like to see at the O2 gig on the 3rd:

 

1. [DS] + Psycho
   
2. Bliss
   
3. Assassin
   
4. Dead Inside
   
5. Isolated System + The Handler
   
6. Butterflies and Hurricanes
   
7. Supermassive Black Hole
   
8. Prelude + Starlight
   
9. Sunburn
   
10. Munich Jam + Madness
    
11. Sing for Absolution
    
12. [JFK] + Defector
    
13. Time Is Running Out
    
14. Uprising
    
15. Mercy
    
16. Stockholm Syndrome
    
17. The Globalist + Drones
    ---
    
18. Take a Bow
    
19. Reapers
    
20. Knights of Cydonia
    

 

This should be a perfectly reasonable set for them to play, but obviously I'm not expecting anything like this.

[Hat]

Overture into B&H is terrible. Like really bad. It builds into a song that builds.

Very simplistic view of it though. Overture doesn't have a big climax, and neither does it build very much. And B&H only builds for about a minute (and twenty seconds) before the chorus hits.

[Frakkles]

It would be one thing if Overture's end was anywhere near the level of the beginning of Butterflies & Hurricanes but it's not. Even if it's not a "grand climax", it's still like walking up a flight of stairs, stopping at the fourth step, jumping back down to the second and then walking back up again.

[DifferentPerson]

Host (full) / Eternally Missed / Easily / Can't Take My Eyes Off You / Sing For Absolution (-1)

 

These are all good songs but I can't help but feel SFA doesn't really belong in this rotation... I love it but if I got that instead of Eternally Missed I'd probably cry.

 

Showbiz (-1) / Glorious / Hyper Chondriac Music / Recess / Hate This And I'll Love You

 

Then again, with these rotations I'd probably cry regardless of which gig I went to Either because I missed out on one of these beauties or because my bank account would be empty...

[heyjackk]

Something for everyone kind of setlist. Two nights with what I personally deem decent rotations. Not 100% sure about the B&H/CE in the middle of the piano section but I didn't want Knights of Cydonia closing. Also not 100% on having Showbiz into Starlight or Mercy but I kind of feel like you HAVE to have a really well known song in the encore for the casual fans and having just an encore of two lesser known songs amongst the casuals might not go down as well.
