A charity show is the best opportunity to have fun with the setlist and get away from the routine of playing hits.

This band is too predictable lol. Been doing same shit for decades now. Least creative band ever when it comes to assembling their set list.

Someone posted this on Reddit as “new setlist.” Lol. I’m calling it now, with 110% certainty…they aren’t performing even just one song with Skiba. 

 

It seems like it would be a crime to have Skiba there at the show opening up, and not come back to perform Bored to Death. I hope you are wrong.

Unless Skiba is there rehearsing with them, there is no way they do it. I suppose there is a chance he stops by and rehearses with them and they just don’t bring it up, which would make sense and is possible. I just doubt it. They aren’t the type of band to improvise live these days with all the backing tracks and what not for their production. I just don’t see it happening, especially with the same basic ass setlist being rolled out

Good Lord what an awful set. Marks a fucking clown.

[Coightstradamus]

Crossed out songs are being replaced by deep cuts and more OMT/PT2 songs.

Mark is just 1/3 of the band. There are two other guys , you know? Don’t just blame Mark for Pete’s sake lol. 

[Coightstradamus]

Like why would Travis post this? Why? The show isn’t till next week why kill all hype?

Mark's the head guy, let's not pretend otherwise. Setlist barely changed after Tom returned. 

[thongrider]

I feel like Skiba could come up and sing Bored to Death with them. Why not?

[Elisa]

Skiba will come up and sing BTD, but I was hoping they would do at least a couple of songs with him – I don't even love the Skiba era, but one song is just so stupid.

I don’t see it happening unless they’re rehearsing with him. Which they could be…but I don’t think so lol

This is false

Honestly they're kind of killing their own legacy by only playing Greatest Hits sets at this point in their career. Especially at a show like this that will only have fan boys anyway

A song like Down is just as obscure to randos and MORE irrelevant than any deep cut fan favorite. Why play it at every single show for the rest of your career?

Yea, and I am pretty sure Travis is the reason they keep Down. I remember seeing him answer recently that that is his favorite song to perform. So all this blaming it all on Mark is absurd.

Getting out the cutlery for my dish of crow on this one. 

I suppose there's still a small chance that Skiba comes out for BTD, but seeing this setlist, I am feeling like that's very unlikely.

Should have expected this - but it just blows me away that in a 4K venue, low production, charity show setting that they aren't willing to throw some bones to the fucking die-hards. It's even a shorter set as it's co-headling with Alk3 from what I can tell. 

How many people attending this show saw this same exact set in the past few years? Likely everybody, lol.

So fucking stupid. 

[Coightstradamus]

There’s another show before the trio show. Some Super Bowl secret show thing. Shortened set may just be for that.

Yea and I’m not trying to beat a dead horse or knock the backing tracks at this point. I’ve accepted them and they’re fine. But it’s 100% of their show and they aren’t going to go through the hassle of changing all of that up in their rig for one song for Skiba to come out. I just don’t see it happening. I think lots of people are going to end up being disappointed lol.

Wouldn’t it be the easiest song to do though? Cause the backing tracks would be the ones from the skiba period? If anything they could use more backing tracks and throw in skiba vocal line as well.

I mean I suppose so. I just think they have their rig set up how they like it. I guess it wouldn’t be hard at all for Skiba to jump in and play/sing on top of it. Maybe my gut feeling is based off of how they don’t like to switch the set list up so what are the chances they switch the actual performance up by throwing a wrench in and adding somebody else?
