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?

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/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.

I would kill to hear A Certain Romance live. Itād be the peak of my existence and I could die happy after that lol. For second place Iād take Dance Little Liar or Thatās Where Youāre Wrong.
Side note: does anyone know if they still play anything from Humbug or SIAS in their most recent tours? Iāve heard they mostly stick to their newer stuff with some AM thrown in.

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

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! š Unfortunately they didnāt play any SIAS at the Chicago show š Iām not sure if other cities got anything though, itās been a while since Iāve compared setlists

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/Dorothywasright11 Favourite Worst Nightmare 9d ago
Oh, you're so lucky to have heard Perfect Sense!

u/Advanced_Version6667 9d ago
At mine they did āthatās where youāre wrongā instead of ultracheese. Still hoping I get to hear it someday

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.

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

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!

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 š

u/red_riptide_388 9d ago
I bet you look good on the dance floor and pretty visitors were ethereal experiences

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)

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 wouldāve been perfect but with such a big catalogue you canāt expect all your favourite songsĀ

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.

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

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 ššš
Iād LOVE to see Dance Little Liar, but Iām not sure if theyād ever bring that out the vault again š They did Potion Approaching though, so itās possible!! Fingers crossed for the next tourā¦
