*Spoilers* - Rehearsals in Vancouver

[VintagePunk]

Thanks! Maybe not much hope but those security guards were nice and told me to come back before the show.. So I'm holding a glimmer of hope lol. Still sounds pretty good from outside and certainly get a good idea of the actual tour set list.

Good luck!

The most likely scenario is the whole setlist will be known before 1st show and it there will no surprises. The 2nd night will have a handful of changes but will remain very similar. Anyone following the band for any amount of time knows this.

The good news is it will still be a great show but not the rarities / varied setlist dream that everyone want to fantasize about.

And yes, despite this possibly being the most reported on pre-tour rehearsals that I can remember, I think there will be a couple of tracks we haven't heard yet.

I won't be shocked if a song or two sneaks under the radar as the tour progresses. Something maybe not done extensively yet, but worked on during soundchecks - like Your Blue Room and Mercy on 360, for which we had vague reports but a lot of scepticism before they debuted.

Yep. Whatever they run through on the night or two before opening night will be that night's set, give or take one or two songs (Vertigo's dress rehearsal had a few differences to opening night; Barcelona's was identical). The second Vancouver show may prove to be the more surprising set.

Unfortunately, the more elaborate their staging, the less room there is for setlist variation. That's what I liked about the Vertigo tour, a relatively simple stage, and I saw a run of shows that had a decent amount of suprises. This tour, I'm expecting something between Vertigo and 360 in terms of variation.

Probably media and friends/family members of the band, maybe?

Could you tell if there was a special extended intro or anything?

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

Yep

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

Umm I missed the intro because was trying to get in lol

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

It was similar to the early performances at apple

Haha fair enough!

Thanks heaps for posting these updates, you're a champion.

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

I wonder if IWF will therefore be played opening night. Last time it was played on opening night was Elevation.
