Hey guys - I saw you perform in Kingston the other week and was really pleasantly surprised to hear Lethal Enforcer on the setlist! ❤️ It was such a treat to hear that song performed live again. I thought the setlist was very well-balanced to suit a range of fans! That being said, I felt it wasn’t a particularly energetic crowd that night. I love it when more folks in the room are a bit more up for it, so completely get that. Lobes is a triumph and so the setlist should be more Lobes heavy than anything! As a huge fan of TV en Français, I didn’t feel like I missed out not hearing a single song from it. But then I caught the tour of that record in 2014. Anyway, I guess what I’m trying to say is:
1) Love a deep cut but don’t really expect it. One is actually enough to satisfy us die-hards.
2) Plenty of us have seen you on tour multiple times over the years and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I don’t think you need to do too much to impress us, some of us are already in this thing too deep and it’s great, tbqh.
3) Do whatever it is you gotta do! Play the setlist you really vibe with the most! Genuinely I’d rather you play a show where someone in the audience who is maybe seeing you for the first time feels like they’ve just become a part of something, than playing deep cuts. Ease them in gently until they’re the ones dying to hear a deep cut!
4) Seeing you guys have the best time at shows, and hearing much loved older songs almost grow to sound a bit different over time makes me so happy
I think for me as a general rule I always want to see a band play the songs that they’re most excited to play and have the most fun with, even if they’re not my favourites. I also personally am always eager when seeing a band who I see every time they tour to get as much new stuff as possible.
I think there’s something to be said for the Taylor Swift Approach (no stick with me here) of having a hits and new stuff loaded set with one rotating deep cut spot that changes every night.
Me, I’d be happy to hear literally all of Lobes and then selections from across the catalogue maybe with a focus on stuff that didn’t get an airing on the Huffy tours.
I hope any of that is helpful, and hey maybe think about throwing in That’s What Counts in Birmingham.
