European Tour Setlists (New Member Post)
Hello guys, been reading this forum for a while and found the topics and opinions on the manics very interesting. Even though i am 15 i have listened to all their albums and have got a good depth of knowledge about their history. I thought that the topic of their european tour would be a good talking point even if you are not attending.
Firstly, I was quite surprised to see no "faster" on the list as they said it was their favourite single in nme and also the inclusion of found that soul which is a personal favourite of mine. Motorcycle Emptiness Your Love Alone Is Not Enough Ocean Spray Love's Sweet Exile (It's Not War) Just The End Of Love The Everlasting Found That Soul This Is The Day The Love Of Richard Nixon Revol Tsunami A Design For Life From Despair To Where You Love Us There By The Grace Of God The Masses Against The Classes Everything Must Go She Is Suffering You Stole The Sun From My Heart Some Kind Of Nothingness Little Baby Nothing Motown Junk If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next |

welcome to the forum David.
we usually discuss the setlists in the gig threads. 15 and listening to the Manics? wow, i'm impressed. they played 2 songs from THB, adding Faster would be strange. although i suppose at one point of the tour they will exchange Revol with Faster or SIS but rather Revol because it's a similar tempo. (that's why i'm not completely giving up for leaving Autumnsong... it will haunt us like ghosts) HEY MAYBE WE SHOULD START SCREAMING 'AUTUMNSONG' INSTEAD OF SLEEPFLOWER?

Oh yeah, forgot about that.
That's a fair point but still think its weird that they don't play their favourite song. Its like having the opportunity to play messi but leaving him on the bench. And your point on Autumnsomg, I would love to hear as its a single of a great album and that my mum who is a casual manics fan said Autumnsomg was her favourite at the national treasures gig. |

i suppose as much as the band love Autumnsong (more than a large contingent of fans, at the very least) they have to work out which songs they "have" to play or are expected to, and see what fits in around that, both in respect of having a good flowing gig and if they are in the mood to.
you'd like to think that they are aware of not all fans thinking this is a masterpiece and thus they opt for more crowd friendly songs, but there law of average states that if they play it enough times then they are bound to end up playing it to someone who appreciates it eventually.

there's been plenty of gigs over the years with no faster.

Totally agree.I never listen to the album version of YSTS but I really enjoy it live.To be honest I think there are many Manics songs which are better live than on the record,ADFL is the first one

I like it on record and still listen to it but agree that it is better live. It's the same with australia and the everlasting. Still good on record but miles better live.
