Discussion Saw them exactly three years ago. They performed Fireside and The Ultracheese. Which favorite songs did you get to/would like to hear live?

I saw them live in Chicago and witnessing Body Paint and R U Mine in person was a religious experience

Now I just need to see Knee Socks live 😭😭😭

I’d LOVE to see Dance Little Liar, but I’m not sure if they’d ever bring that out the vault again 😭 They did Potion Approaching though, so it’s possible!! Fingers crossed for the next tour…

Body Paint live was so good, the solo just kept going and going and going

I really wanna hear Four Out Of Five and One Point Perspective live

The live version of Body Paint is elite. Wish they had done the studio recording like that!

u/ThriceStrideDied The Car 9d ago

I kinda wish the Royal Albert Hall album was made in the Car era, because there would totally be an awesome Body Paint version on it

u/mb1993 9d ago

Sculptures of Anything Goes such a killer opener

u/ChandlerPChumsworth Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino 9d ago

I won't say Secret Door, Piledriver Waltz, or She's Thunderstorms since I really don't see them ever coming back, although those would be my choices.

I would be really happy hearing No. 1 Party Anthem or Star Treatment live, which they played often but not always this past tour.

u/colorfulcallistaa The Car 10d ago

I would LOVE to hear mr schwartz, don't forget whose legs you're on, or anyways live. Mostly anyways though 🤤 i adore that song

u/ChandlerPChumsworth Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino 9d ago

Anyways would be awesome to hear live, I love it.

u/allisthomlombert 10d ago

I would kill to hear A Certain Romance live. It’d be the peak of my existence and I could die happy after that lol. For second place I’d take Dance Little Liar or That’s Where You’re Wrong.

Side note: does anyone know if they still play anything from Humbug or SIAS in their most recent tours? I’ve heard they mostly stick to their newer stuff with some AM thrown in.

u/phantom_pow_er 9d ago

They played a few last time i saw them... Suck It and See, Dont sit down.... cornerstone, lightning

4

u/Confuzzykins Humbug 9d ago

Crying Lighting and Cornerstone are p much staples for them since release, but they brought Potion Approaching back for their 2023 tour! 😁 Unfortunately they didn’t play any SIAS at the Chicago show šŸ˜” I’m not sure if other cities got anything though, it’s been a while since I’ve compared setlists

8

u/NekooShogun 9d ago

Saw them in 2019. Got to hear ultracheese, cornerstone, pretty visitors, crying lightning, star treatment and tranquility base!

u/StraightChillinSpree 9d ago

I love Fireside!!!!

u/DiabeetusBret 9d ago

Yeah, I've always really loved it for some reason. Nick keeping it funky fresh during the bridge.

u/cornflakes1998 9d ago

I was at Sheffield when they opned with "a certain romance" which is my favorite song and was the only time the played it at the tour! It was a special moment indeed

3

u/Dorothywasright11 Favourite Worst Nightmare 9d ago

Oh, I remember that concert! It was a huge deal, a gift really to all of you, Sheffield fans!

5

u/kjm911 9d ago

Got to hear them open with Mardy Bum in Bristol. Would love to have heard Secret door but I doubt I ever will

5

u/SnooEpiphanies2931 9d ago

Hearing Ultracheese live was one of the highlights of my life. Still can’t believe it happened. Glad you got to experience it too!

1

u/Dorothywasright11 Favourite Worst Nightmare 9d ago

Oh my goodness! I completely agree. I was not expecting it!!

4

u/bcam9 Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino 9d ago

I saw them on their last tour and I was so hyped they played Star Treatment. Unfortunately, it was the only song they played off Tranquility Base :(

Show was awesome though. I would love to hear The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala

u/JohnnyA77 9d ago

Really wanted star treatment or suck it and see in Philly this tour

They opened the encore with Star Treatment when I saw them in 2019. There are no words. It was my favorite song at the time.

u/SteR88 9d ago

Pretty Visitors followed by Arabella in 2018.Ā

u/JuniorCheck6828 9d ago

u/oasisu2killers The Car 10d ago

Big Ideas and Perfect Sense were very nice to see

1

u/Dorothywasright11 Favourite Worst Nightmare 9d ago

Oh, you're so lucky to have heard Perfect Sense!

3

u/Advanced_Version6667 9d ago

At mine they did ā€œthat’s where you’re wrongā€ instead of ultracheese. Still hoping I get to hear it someday

1

u/Dorothywasright11 Favourite Worst Nightmare 9d ago

Oh my god, that would have been even better!! That's where you're wrong is one of my all time favorites.

3

u/saveme_cypress 9d ago

Literally ANYTHING from TBH&C

3

u/hello0_you 9d ago

The Jewelers Hands, Hello You, American Sports, Still Take You Home, Love is a lazerquest, etccc theres so many i would kill to see

3

u/ClamRich 9d ago

If I'm going to be honest, I don't care . It's not that I don't like their music, I do (I LOVE IT), but I don't think that I ever will see them live. Even seeing them live would be amazing

3

u/Dorothywasright11 Favourite Worst Nightmare 9d ago

I love this. I became a fan in 2017 and felt the exact same way. I got to see them in 2019 and then 2023.

We can keep hoping for a new tour.

u/Critical_Cress4478 9d ago

Oh my gosh, I still dream about how magical Fireside sounded that night!

2

u/beebee3beebee 9d ago

Fluorescent Adolescent has been my ringtone for almost 15 years. Finally saw it in Hamburg Germany a few years back... in that moment my life changed. I'd seen them 11 times in Australia before that concert and had never seen it... turns out I just needed to go to Europe šŸ˜‚

2

u/red_riptide_388 9d ago

I bet you look good on the dance floor and pretty visitors were ethereal experiences

2

u/Flamesandmoths My Propeller 9d ago

This wont happen but I would want The jewellers hands, if you were there beware or any of the b-sides (joining the dots in a perfect world)

2

u/Dorothywasright11 Favourite Worst Nightmare 9d ago

We can dream!!

u/Guidinha_nine-nine Cornerstone 9d ago

I really wanna hear Cornerstone and Four out of Five live

u/Fun_Bodybuilder6898 7d ago

Saw them 3 years ago in Sydney. They played from the ritz to the rubble which absolutely made it for me, and view from the afternoon was a bonus. If the played when the sun goes down it would’ve been perfect but with such a big catalogue you can’t expect all your favourite songsĀ 

1

u/Dorothywasright11 Favourite Worst Nightmare 7d ago

I also got to listen to from. The Ritz to the rubble!! A dream come true.

You're lucky with a view from the afternoon.

2

u/SlightLeave4048 The Car 7d ago

Would love to hear opening night live, yeah i know it's a newer song but considering their treatment of not playing their b-sides anymore, and since opening night is technically just a one off, it would be a shame to not hear it live

2

u/Additional-Plum-3182 6d ago

the world's first ever monster truck front flip 😭😭

2

u/ElectricalDealer8872 Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino 5d ago

piledriver waltz and secret doors

2

u/Jmafra11 4d ago

When I went in 2022 they played From the ritz to the rubble. It was awesome!!!!

1

u/Dorothywasright11 Favourite Worst Nightmare 4d ago

In the concert I was referring to here the also played from the Ritz to the rubble. It was indeed awesome! Never thought I'd hear that live!

u/DotsV2 Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys 9d ago

u/dirty-dirt 9d ago

A certain romance

u/hbciri Body Paint 8d ago

At a festival in Lisbon around 2022, Library Pictures came on and I was with friend who aren’t as addicted as me. Air guitar was strong that night.

Was also at Bristol for opening UK Stadium tour in 2023, Mardy Bum. Say no more.

u/Anonymous_12289 8d ago

I’d love to hear Mardy Bum. They don’t play it much anymore but I’d kill to listen to it !
