There is a list of known live performances, in order of 'number of times played'
http://uwlive.rowla.com/songs/listSongs/count
Of course, this is just the *known* performances, but the indications are that this tour has made some changes in the top 10 (vs last year)..
TMO has moved up above
Pearl's Girl, and
Jumbo has lost quite a few places (it hasn't been played since
Abu Dhabi 2009.
Current top 10 most played live songs:
#1 Born Slippy NUXX (213)
#2 Cowgirl (193)
#3 King of Snake (181)
#4 Rez (178)
#5 Two Months Off (145)
#6 Pearls Girl (132)
#7 Moaner (128)
#8 Dark Train / Nu Train (124)
#9 Jumbo (123)
#10 Push Upstairs (97)
Other intersting observations:
Despite not being heard for a while,
Rowla is holding strong at #11, the only song likely to overtake would be
Between Stars (which is sitting at 45 plays, it was played nearly 20 times even before the album came out).
With Karl recently talking about the lack of 'Live-able' tracks, some of the OWB era songs will start to loose their placing.. With 54 plays in 4 years,
Crocodile hasn't been heard since June 2009, and will probably not be played for a very long time (if at all)..
The gap between
YDS and
Scribble is closing rapidly, and some of the Dubno tracks that had a big revival 2007 - 2009 are also starting to drop down again (
Spoonman,
Spikee,
Skyscraper)...
There was a thread here about what we wanted dropped from the setlist this year (and my wishes were met)...
So, keeping in mind the boys will mainly be playing festival shows next year, what other 'upbeat' songs would you wanted
added that would fit nicely into the setlist for 2011?
My 5 suggestions:
Kittens
DA3D
Spikee / Leave Home
Confusion The Waitress
Deep Arch
Plus, some others they could use as an intro (in the same way as
Ansum and
Simple Peal in the past...)
Most 'Ospitable
Puppies
Hamburg Hotel (they have already played this live)
Loads of Birds
To Heal
Etc...
Great opportunity to build up some atmosphere before they start
