The Killers - Battle Born

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Agreed.

I get some of the songs not being played, not just sonically but thematically there's some dark shit there that's kind of a downer... But there's no reason why they shouldn't be playing ,for example, Quiet Town every night

Yep - There’s got to be 4 or 5 songs that are much better candidates for the set than Fire in Bone

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Well, it's the Imploding the Mirage tour (rescheduled, of course). They're technically still trying to tour that record, so I understand that it might be tough to add too much from Pressure Machine onto the setlists when they've gotta get the ItM songs out there.

And I say that as someone who knew Fire in Bone was coming and used that as my chance for a bathroom break.

i do get that - but, like, cut out the smiths covers and play Quiet Town man.

Brandon's thrown out the idea in interviews of them doing a theatre run of shows where they would play Pressure Machine in full. That would be pretty cool.

 

[dan_smee]

I’d definitely love that

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

That would be great, but still .. adding those songs to the encore in SLC added about 20 minutes to the show, which isn't crazy, and doing it at the encore allows them to separate it thematically.

Alas, I'm screaming into the void here... The show I'm seeing is the last one of the north American tour, so maybe they'll break some things out for that one.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

so they went and added another show after the Capital One Arena gig - which means it's not the last show of the tour anymore.

but hey - it's also in DC, so fuck it - we got tickets for that show as well ,

this show will be at a significantly smaller venue - The Anthem - which is an amazing 5,000 person venue. i'm pretty sure dave grohl had some input on the audio specs when the place was being designed, and i've never seen a bad show there. this will be the venue's 5th anniversary show.

so hey - two killers shows in three nights!

This would make the most sense for me.

Quiet Town would probably go over well live consistently, due to its I–V–vi–IV chord progression, which naturally makes it pleasing on the ears despite the subject matter.

Otherwise, it's hard for me to see them playing too many off them at an arena show. Aside from In the Car Outside, for similar reasons above.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Going tonight at Capital One. Expecting a normal type setlist tonight.

Wednesday is a different story - hoping for something special in the smaller venue

 

[LuckyNumber7]

See you there x2

 

[U2inUtah]

Have a good time dudes.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Great show. Only issue is the Smiths cover in the encore. Most of the venue doesn't know the song. Kills the energy a tad, but it picks the hell right back up once Mr. Brightside hits.

Can't wait for Wednesday

 

[LuckyNumber7]

You would be a left stager.

For real tho, glad they finally mixed up their show a bit. But also When You Were Young was spent too early. That song is a late stager, no question.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

?

I was dead center at pretty much where half court / center ice would be.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Oh.

Then we went to the show together.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

perhaps we did

only somehow i'm still here

 

[U2inUtah]

Although maybe an odd choice to open the encore, you got Just Another Girl which they’ve only played four other times this year and this was the first time in the US.

The Way It Was has also been fairly rare this tour (though it took the spot of Jenny Was a Friend of Mine).

Cody is one of the better ones to get off of PM. Not a bad setlist

 

[LuckyNumber7]

It’s okay I know you’re not supposed to be seen out of character so we can’t know what you look like

That’s all you get.

Anthem > The House That Headache Built

 

[U2inUtah]

West Hills....cool

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Meh there was significantly more room over there at the start of the show. The giant line for the bar created a barrier.

Didn't get there till 8:15

Well there's no denying that the anthem is a better venue for concerts.

I got there at 7:30ish and went to both lines. I actually queued on left side and went back to my friend on right side because the line on the right was strangely worse.

Nice pics also. Is this a good time to shame you for going to two weekday shows but not going to both U2 shows because they were week nights (if I recall correctly)

you recall incorrectly. i went to both U2 shows at Capital One.

I also narc'd on the GA line the previous friday when they were trying to set up and get their friends signed up before making it public. it's one of my favorite moments as a U2 fan, actually.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

lol hey look it's the GA line "not starting yet"
