[kj] [KJ] Pylon Tour Setlist poll....

Fri Oct 2 17:46:11 EDT 2015

You've all heard this before, but one of my favourite moments with t'Joke was hearing Geordie play Night Time unaccompanied during a soundcheck in 1989.  There were bits that I'd always assumed were keyboards that were actually his guitar.

"...like a thousand orchestras playing at once..."

I seriously think a self support slot doing acoustic reworkings of some songs would be a great idea, and a way to showcase Geordie's guitar skills on stage in a different light than we are used to.

It would never happen though.

    Forgot pandemonium. 2-4   

    Nothing from democracy which is live to hear.    

    I'll just be happy if I make and they do too.    

    Have not had the displeasure of a cancelled show on me yet after purchasing tickets.

      It will be typical songs from s/t and what's this for.      

      I'd be surprised if anything off of revelations or fire dances      

      Love like blood, eighties and maybe one other from night time     

      Nothing from  you Btats or OTG.     

      Maybe. MAYBE 1 one from extremities.      

      Probably asteroid 2003. Even though I'd rather hear anything else. It's lost its impact on me. And it never seems to have the same punch live.      

      Nothing from hossannass.  Which I'd  still like to hear something from that record live even though it's one of my least favorite.      

      2 maybe 4 from absolute     

      Nothing from MMXXIII     

      2-4 from new record.      

      There will be one curve ball I'm sure     

      And it will be 1.5 hours from when the hit the stage to when house lights go on. Max.     

      The hipsters like the older records. Absolute gave them some traction in the public eye. So they have to walk a crooked line to appease everyone.      

      I'd like to hear some b-sides from the older era. Birds of a feather etc. but that won't happen     

      At least they stopped asking what we wanted to hear as it never seemed to really materialize.

So let us cynical (realist?) gatherers predict the setlists for the upcoming shows.....

My bets, nothing from Hosannas, Democracy, OTG, BTATS,  doubtful anything from MMXII, andI am guessing a possibility of Depthcharge from AD.

5-6 Songs from Pylon, and the usual suspects of The Wait, Wardance, Requiem, Psyche, LLB, Pandemonium and Asteroid.

As much as I am looking forward to this tour, the main problem now for KJ is the length of their shows...with the frenetic nature of their tunes, along with their laziness and being at loggerheads on their archive we will never see the  output  that bands such as The Cure have done with 3 hour shows encapsulating much of their career.

I have never seen KJ play for longer than 1.5 hours, many times not even coming out for a second encore.  With each passing album and having the same core repertoire over the same length of show I can see albums snubbed increasing.
