It gives us a chance to hear songs live that we’d never usually get to hear. That’s why I loved the Enema anniversary tour so much. Now I just have to hope blink will acknowledge any non-Enema or Untitled anniversaries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s honestly so frustrating. I don’t get what their thinking is behind it. I remember a few shows from 2013, like The Wiltern. They played Apple Shampoo, it was NUTS. Fantastic. Makes such a difference. The acoustic sets with Dick Lips and Waggy - amazing. They have such a selection to draw from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s frustrating. I can’t think of any other band I’ve seen multiple times and heard essentially the same set list each time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a pretty big complaint to be honest. Only about half the album was new, and the familiar songs you didn’t like as much?

I agree. But I’ve had this argument here and there are people on this board who will argue to their last breath that blink would cease to sell tickets if they ever cut First Date from their set list and replaced with a deep cut. Sheesh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know! It’s very, very untrue. There’s many layers to this discussion which I don’t need to preach to the choir lol. But even just listen to how horrible Tom sings live, yet people always come back. I don’t think anyone’s ever gonna say “fuck this I’m never coming back because Tom butchered Enthused instead of First Date!” An example I gave was that they stopped playing Adam’s Song for a while, which charted even higher than First Date did, yet people still came to the shows.

Cheerios4u98 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 If they want to be a singles only live act they should at least throw in other singles that they never play. Hearts All Gone, After Midnight, Josie, M+Ms, Home Is Such A Lonely Place, etc. I’m not saying I want them to play only singles but if that’s what they want, give us all the other singles too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh their set list is so predictable and lame , plus Mark’s insistence that they don’t play longer than 90 minutes or whatever it is…probably my biggest complaint about them…def more so than the production of Feldmann on newer records..because let’s just face it…despite whatever music they put out, every band has a shelf life and blink’s best days are far behind them. But you can see them live still! It would be much more rad to see them play longer and honor their legacy as you said. Lord knows Travis would be up for the task, he’d play a 5 hour set if Mark wanted to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
