Original "Two Nights" Setlists

[edge726]

Hey all,

Saw the Nassau show last night, incredible. Long time lurker here.

I noticed in the program a special section from Willie where he includes a drawing of a wheel that ultimately reveals what the setlists would have resembled for the original two-night "Innocence and Experience" Tour in 2015. I'll post them down below, as I don't think they've been shared before.

Last night was amazing. What a show.

Interesting to see how the two shows mirror the ultimate I.E. and EI shows. No Streets in the Experience shows.

I'm sure these would have changed but these were the working ideas that I could make out from images in the program. Thought I'd share this with you guys. Makes me think of what could have been.....

Hmmm, first time I’ve heard this and didn’t buy a program at the show I went too and surprised this hasn’t popped up before. Can you post a pic and if this were true, those would have been incredible back to back shows..

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I'd have enjoyed that

 

[DeVaul]

That would've been pretty damn good. If only they had actively sold the tour that way instead of whiffing on the promo (one quote on the website ain't enough) and worrying about The Casuals.

And yet... I+e *still* had more setlist variation.

 

[edge726]

Don’t know how to share photos. If anyone has a copy of the tour program, go to Willie’s section in the “Innocence” part of the book and see the pic with the wheel. It has each show broken down into thematic sections too. It’s insanely relevatory and I’ve been dying to know these setlists since the original rumor!

The two sets also match up with some of the rumors from rehearsals, like Playboy Mansion.

I saw this posted on twitter a while back.

goddamnit

 

[prbiker15]

Well that is very interesting.

 

[lazarus]

goddamnit

Same.

We would have got Reach Around, for starters.

 

[DeVaul]

That's 4x as much thought and effort that went into the current setlist.

 

[daygloeyes2]

Goddamn, that would have been incredible.

 

[edge726]

Night 2 would have been insane.

So funny, I was just about to post and ask if these sets ever got out/leaked. Then I flipped through the program and found the wheel. Now I know.

It's interesting because night 2, the "Experience" show, lacks "Streets". The "Experience" part of the tour obviously lacks Streets and the rest of JT due to last year's tour.

Seems that they couldn't find a way to get Streets into the Experience narrative in 2015 as well. Weird.

 

[Axver]

Rejoice and Fast Cars, wow.

 

[clerks]

i just remembered they aren't even playing one of the best songs they played before from the album and now I'm annoyed again. Little Things instead of One maybe?

 

[Hewson]

Same.

We would have got Reach Around, for starters.

This

Rejoice and Fast Cars, wow.

And this

 

[popacrobat]

so I bought the program last night. There's a bit more to it.

This is what is said:

"Even the setlist process was unusual. Having planned the broad strokes of 'Night 1' and 'Night 2' song sequences, we realized that having arrived at the end, the whole cycle could start again. The setlist became a wheel of 60 songs from which you could pick any two opposing points to be the beginning and the end."

 

[DeVaul]

Yeah, gee, that would've been just awful. So glad they opted for just a few songs rotations, especially when they played the same venue EIGHT TIMES IN FOURTEEN DAYS

 

[Axver]

What a tour it could have been.

Though it sounds like the order would've been pretty static? Once you know song one, the rest follow in predetermined order?

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

Original "Two Nights" Setlists

Happy to see Rejoice was in the cards. Fits the narrative. So why not play the damn song?!

 

[popacrobat]

What a tour it could have been.

Given the pool they were drawing from, I think I’d have been perfectly cool if Raised by Wolves opened of the shows I went to, even if I knew what was up next.
