The Vegas show had a killer setlist. Id love to hear something similar at NPP show:

As much of NPP as the band can do (in the absence of the guest singers)
Any of the Classic BW deep cuts - Busy doin nothing, Melt away, Warmth of the sun, funky pretty, etc
Til I die
Some songs of Dennis and Carl - Brian loves Long promised road. Or maybe a really lesser known Dennis track like Lady.
More solo material...he never plays enough from his older albums. A Gershwin track, Proud Mary, Goin home, midnights another day...RIO GRANDE!!??
And maybe a cover or two.

Post what you'd like to hear. Brian is a part of this board after all  Grin

From Al, I'd like to hear Susie Cincinnati or Honkin' Down the Highway. Maybe Vegetables. From Brian, Midnight's Another Day or Pacific Coast Highway. One Dennis/Carl song would be nice too.

I'd love to hear Al sing Susie Cincinnati.

Also would like to hear Leaving This Town, I'll Bet He's Nice with a great Pet Sounds orchestral vibe, sung by Brian. Nothing But Love from Gershwin. Also, sometime during the concert I'd love to hear the "the river's deep and the river's so wide" section from Rio Grande.

I'd love Brian to perform Carl's 'Heaven' live. His version released on his website was really nice. Has he ever played it live?

Brian's been cranking out the solo albums for a couple decades now, it's time for him to play more of that material - Melt Away, Midnight's Another Day, Rio Grande.

As a tribute to Dennis, "River Song" with Blondie on lead vocals.  How awesome would that be?  Would also love to hear "Funky Pretty" with Brian, Al, and Blondie trading off.

Greek Theater 2015!

Our Prayer
Heroes and Villains (BW)
Sloop John B (BW and Al)
Wouldn't It Be Nice (Al and Ike)
The Right Time (Al)
What Ever Happened (BW and Al)
Somewhere Quiet (BW)
She Knows Me Too Well (Ike)
Then I Kissed Her (Al)
This Whole World (BW)
Marcella (BW)
Wild Honey (Blondie)
Sail On, Sailor (Blondie - singing original lyrics)
Hold On, Dear Brother (Fun guy or Blondie)
Goin' Home (BW)
Sail Away (Al/Blondie/BW)

-- brief disturbance as crazed man yells "f*** Mike Love!" repeatedly and has to be escorted out. Order is restored as Van Dyke Parks enters and cracks a joke about other songs coincidentally named Sail Away. Sits near BW by the piano and explains why he won't be playing it any more. BW interrupts with a sudden cry of "But you can still sing, so I'd like to introduce my favorite collaborator Van Dyke Parks!"

Orange Crate Art (VDP/BW swapping verses after patching things up in my fantasy scenario)
A Day in the Life of a Tree (BW as titular tree, VDP backing vox and chatty introduction about recording it)
On The Island (with She and Him)
Good Time (with She and Him)
Don't Talk (no vocals, melody by Rodriguez on acoustic guitar)
I Know There's an Answer (Al/BW)
God Only Knows (BW)
Pacific Coast Highway (BW... enter string quartet)
Summer's Gone (BW)
The Last Song (BW)

Encore
Good Vibrations (BW)
Proud Mary (BW/Blondie/Al trading verses)
Honkin' Down the Highway (Al, Blondie decimating guitar)
Fun, Fun, Fun (BW)
Love and Mercy (BW)

I dont know if it was played at all gigs in 1976 but Susi Cincinatti was played at Anaheim stadium 1976 and it ROCKED.. Later i found out Dennis hated the song. I allways wondered about that..Too Cute for Dennis maybe?? The song rocks live or in the studio so i enjoy it..

I remember back circa 2000 or 2001 or some time around then, Al was scheduled to play the “Pop Overthrow Festival.” He later had to back out (I think there was some court case stuff that he had to attend; though I could be remembering incorrectly), and afterwards some of the stuff he was planning on playing was mentioned. I think “Susie Cincinnati” and “Lady Lynda” were on the list.

I'd like to hear Blondie wailing on "Wild Honey"!

That was a cool moment getting to see Blondie sing it in 2013 in Oakland with Brian, Al, and Dave. They did it in a lower key (I think the same key as the “Family & Friends” version with Matt singing the lead), but it was still cool to hear that in addition to the obligatory (and also cool) “Sail on Sailor.”

Hoping this year, with Blondie on the full tour, they’ll at least bust out one or two other 70s tracks like “Funky Pretty” (a cool chance for Brian, Blondie, and Al to trade off on the lead) and maybe “Leaving this Town.” Given its inclusion at the Vegas show, I suppose “Hold on Dear Brother” might be more likely.

Kiss Me, Baby.

I know it won't happen, but hey, a guy can dream, right?

I don’t think “Kiss Me Baby” is particularly far-fetched. It was in Brian’s setlist regularly in the 1999-2000 time frame (and checking quickly, it was there in 2001 and 2002 sometimes as well, not sure about later years), and they did it on C50.

They actually mixed up the setlist quite a bit in 2013 relative to the number of shows and the length of the shows. 2014 not so much, although they were doing a lot of one-off shows, and of course few shows in total.

I think the interesting thing to see will be how long the setlist is on this upcoming tour, and what they can fit in. They have an opening act on this tour, so I don’t know if that will shorten the show at all (presumably it won’t shorten the shows as much as the 2013 Beck tour). But if you factor in the “core” songs, then new album songs, and a few songs we know they’ll likely do (e.g. “Sail on Sailor” with Blondie there), I don’t know how much room will be left.

It’ll also be interesting to see if Brian works “Love and Mercy” back into the setlist what with the movie coming out.

What a great idea to have Blondie along for the whole tour, his "Wild Honey" is a blast!

Lee and Ontor's setlists = win. Sign me up!   Smiley

I definitely hope Hold On Dear Brother stays on for the tour, plus some more offbeat surprises from that era.

How it really got to my soul


View Profile
« Reply #22 on: March 26, 2015, 12:43:00 PM »

How's this for a semi-realistic 90 minute show?

1.   You’re So Good To Me
Song begins with extended intro as BAB walk on stage. Brian sings first verse, Al second.
 
2.   Wild Honey
Blondie on lead. Much grittier version than the Venetian one. Sax solo replaced by keyboard

3.   You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone
The grittiness continues; Blondie sings lead with Brian on sloppy double tracking

4.   The Little Girl I Once Knew
For the first time ever, a live audience gets to hear this song without Jeffrey Foskett dominating the vocal mix. Brian and Al sings lead with Matt taking the high part.

Pet Sounds block:
5.   You Still Believe In Me
With some microphone technique training and an engineer who knows Al’s voice and its lack of power in the high register, this could work. Otherwise, have Matt help out where it gets out of Al’s comfort zone.

6.   Wouldn’t It Be Nice
Al, in the key of E. This has been proven to work!

7.   I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times
Brian of course, answered by Al on the tag. Note that Brian is not doubled by anyone in the verses.

8.   God Only Knows
Brian.

9.   Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight
Andy Paley joins for this song. Maybe lowered since the original is in quite a high key. This is followed by

10.   Catch A Wave
with Brian and Matt, and

11.   Hawaii
which Al sings as he duly did on the Live In Las Vegas album.

12.   Please Let Me Wonder
This song ends of course in the same way as they ended it on one of the UK C50 dates, with Brian hitting a sweet falsetto note.

13.   Sail Away
from No Pier Pressure closes out the first set.

After the intermission, the scene lies in darkness. A dark, sustained note, somewhat familiar, suddenly breaks through the silence. The moment Brian begins to sing, the lights come back and shows Brian behind the Baldwin organ. Yes, the Baldwin, not a. The song is the Smiley Smile version of

14.   Wind Chimes
While the rest of the band backs him up, Brian handles the bulk of the singing and playing. The songs ends with a prolonged “Whispering Winds” fade which abruptly leads in to

15.   Heroes And Villains (BWPS version)
in which Al wears a hat. Al and Brian share the lead.

16.   Funky Pretty
follows, featuring Al and Blondie in a guitar duel during the fade. Brian sings Carl’s parts.

17.   Marcella
is just as awesome as on the In Concert album. Brian growls as per Norway 2007.

18.   Here Comes the Night
Brian sings.

19.   The Right Time

20.   Roller Skating Child
sung by Brian on Mike’s parts

21.   California Dreamin’
as per C50, Al and Brian share the lead

22.   Sloop John B.

23.   I Went to Sleep
closes out the second set.

Encore
24.   Add Some Music To Your Day

25.   Sail On Sailor
ends with guitar solo by Blondie

26.   I Get Around
Guitar solo by Blondie

27.   Good Vibrations
Brian and Matt

28.   Help Me Rhonda
without saxophone solo

29.   Fun Fun Fun
After this ending, the group leaves the stage without taking a bow, leading the diehards to think that there might be something more coming. Indeed, the lights go out, there’s about a ten second pause, and then blue spots light up Brian as he begins to sing

30.   Surf’s Up
with Al on the fade. Crowd goes wild.

Bring back the jam!

Blondie looked like he was primed to go with his guitar solo during 'Wild Honey' and with Brians band he has the musicians to pull it off.

Its 40 years since the Charles Lloyd/ Carli Munoz days and 1-2 extended songs would make a point of difference between the C50, M&B and Brian's previous tours.
