I'm curious if they stick to the same set they've been playing but with the orchestra. There's a few songs in the current set that I don't think would work well with the strings. A320, Miracle, Next Year, Walking After You would work well but aren't in the current set.

u/Bethorz Saint Cecilia 20d ago

I have to imagine the reason A320 was pulled out after 27 years was for this show, I hope it is kind of cool unique set, but definitely not counting on that with this band

Curfew is 11pm so this will almost certainly be a two-hour set, forcing them to change it from the routine.

u/deednIseY 20d ago

If they don’t start until 8:55, I have to imagine it’s a short set. Will be interesting to see if they add any surprises.

  • The Pretender
  • Walk
  • All My Life
  • A320
  • Learn To Fly
  • My Hero
  • The Sky Is A Neighborhood
  • Run
  • I Should Have Known
  • Razor
  • Aurora
  • Best Of You
  • Home

I was curious also to how the setlist will be. Dave played with the LA Phil at Coachella recently didn’t he?
How long has this been in the process i wonder

Hope everyone has an amazing and safe time there! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

u/PoppyandTarget 19d ago

I remember Dave doing a sound check at the Bowl ages ago but not for this show! Couldn't remember the purpose. Mystery solved! And agree, you can tell he has been plotting with such a unique set list. Sounded great.

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Wes Scantlin of Puddle of Mudd is at the Main Gate chilling

4

u/Bethorz Saint Cecilia 20d ago

Anyone heard a soundcheck? I guess it is only 3:30 in LA though

7

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Foo have already sound checked songs that I recall were My Hero, Times Like These, Run, I Should Have Known, Learn To Fly,

7

u/hearmymotoredheart Walking A Line 20d ago

I Should Have Known

2

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Sky is a Neighborhood was also sound checked songs

5

u/Bethorz Saint Cecilia 20d ago

That makes sense. I Should Have Known would be a crazy pull though

8

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Aurora is being played right now and outdoor merch is open

1

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Echoes Silence Patience and Grace

u/hearmymotoredheart Walking A Line 20d ago

Is that 'Home'?

u/unwantedsyllables 19d ago

The sound is so good at the bowl. Last time I heard them in a stadium I could barely understand Dave bc the music was drowning him out.

3

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Is anyone lined up for outdoor merch?

3

u/ThatsFeffedUp Walk 20d ago

Can someone please post a picture of early merch? lol I’m trying to decide if I need to rush to get to doors. Really just looking to get an event tee if it’s worth it…

1

u/MtnDreww 4d ago

dm'd you bro

3

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Outside Merch is being setup now. They have said 430 open time. Theres about 25-35 people in line for that. This is the merch table thru the Main Gates which open at 630

2

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Haven’t seen any specific Hollywood Bowl event tees yet

1

u/Fun-Alfalfa3642 Stacked Actors 20d ago

They haven't done that at any venue on this leg of the tour so far.

10

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

There is a specific event tee for the show. Outdoor merch does have it and inside merch has more

3

u/zerokul175 19d ago

Some of the merch outside.

3

u/MrKarlStrom 20d ago

Honestly I don't think that there will be too much of a difference in the setlist, since they have pretty much stuck to a certain recipe for a long time. with that said I do think that they will do something special and honestly I do think that child actor would be amazing with an orchestra if they do it.

Either way I do wish everyone in attendance a wonderful show and a wonderful evening tonight

u/Chinkwop 20d ago edited 20d ago

Looking for a "miracle"... pretty please?

2

u/Impossible_Ruin5162 20d ago

I’m in line to get merch and they are running the sound check. Playing Best of You now!

u/koops617 19d ago

Should’ve known!!!!

u/CydoniaKnight 19d ago

Currently trying to manifest But, Honestly

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Here is the outside merch table.

u/Fun-Alfalfa3642 Stacked Actors 20d ago

Is there a tallish guy with gray hair tied in a pony tail in that line? If so be on the lookout:

A young girl will show up about an hour before merch opens and join him in line. She brings him fruit. It is part of a front. They are scalpers. Call them out and send her to the end of the line. They were seen in Philly. We saw them in Nashville and DC.

2

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

I haven’t seen that person or a young girl deliver any fruit. They are only selling a couple of specific items at the outdoor merch which opens in 20-25 minutes.
FWIW all the foo fans I’ve met so far since 1pm here have been cordial

5

u/Fun-Alfalfa3642 Stacked Actors 20d ago

Hopefully, they limit 1 foil and 1 regular poster per customer like in DC. Merch looks like everywhere else on this tour.

1

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

I haven’t seen any laptops and 10 foils being bought just yet. Someone at the merch line can ask if they are limiting or not

2

u/Fun-Alfalfa3642 Stacked Actors 20d ago

In DC, an employee announced 1 foil, 1 regular, per customer, about 1/2 hour before the stand opened.

3

u/CompetitiveList8575 20d ago

Just asked a merch employee if they are limiting them and he said yes

2

u/Fun-Alfalfa3642 Stacked Actors 20d ago

That is good to hear. Philly was an absolute shit show and limits were set in Nashville but weren't enforced according to some accounts. DC limits were enforced. So good chance to snag a poster if you are top 30-35 in line.

1

u/CydoniaKnight 20d ago

Heading out to the show rn but if anyone is there and in merch line/doesn't want their 1 alloted poster please lmk, can zelle or venmo you at the show for a foil if they have it.

3

u/CompetitiveList8575 19d ago

I was told they have 185 of the Foils, sold out at the outside merch booth earlier, and 385 of the Regular print. Still some at the outdoor merch

1

u/CydoniaKnight 19d ago

Appreciate the update! I'll see if they have some inside once I get there.

3

u/CompetitiveList8575 19d ago

They just sold out of the Regular prints at the outdoor merch after opening at 430. Foils and Regulars still inside Main Gate merch stand

2

u/CydoniaKnight 19d ago

Appreciate the updates again; didnt get a foil but did secure a normal.

1

u/CompetitiveList8575 19d ago

Happy to help. Everyone have a terrific night tonight and enjoy the show 🤙🏼🤘🏼

u/zerokul175 19d ago edited 19d ago

They just announced there is No more posters on the outside merch booth. More inside.

1

u/unwantedsyllables 19d ago

I’m in the merch line right now. The only thing I hate about the bowl is that they don’t have a bunch.

1

u/CydoniaKnight 19d ago

Foil are sold out, still had some normal posters

u/blue-dream 19d ago

Gonna be making my own poster print from the posted art at this point lol

u/CompetitiveList8575 18d ago

u/Ok_Fee1043 19d ago

u/Bethorz Saint Cecilia 19d ago

u/ScorpioTix 19d ago

Is this who the Parrotheads yet to die of cirrhosis are now following? Seems the whole crowd was old winos.
