nearLY live - setlist: thoughts, etc.

[hipster]

Hi everyone,

Do you guys have any thoughts or expectations about nearLY's set list?

Do you think they will play the entire album through from beginning to end?

Do you think there will be any covers included in the set list?

Maybe we'll get some bonus material!

Just thinking about what we can expect from these amazing shows.

I've been wondering this myself. Right now I'm thinking the album will be played in order, with the songs expanded a bit. I'm also thinking there will be other material, either stuff written by Jerome but left off the album, or covers. From the TIMBT interview:

The 12 Rounds record actually was a heartbreaker, because that's a beautiful record. I always thought to myself if I ever took the nearLY thing live, there are at least two or three songs on that record that I would love to play live because Claude wrote some really beautiful songs on that record. There's one called "Chicane" that, every time I hear it, it literally brings me to tears.

I think there will be stuff not included on the album, either Jerome's material/Claudia's or both. As to the order, I'm not sure. Will be very exciting to see how it's put together. I'm sure whatever it is, it will be absolutely beautiful and I plan on bringing a stack of Kleenex!

I wondered if it would be played in order. I have listened to reminder on my Ipod with the shuffle on, and it kind of threw me a bit. I find the album flows from start to finish, and it would be perfect to present it that way live. But maybe little logistical things will affect the set list order, for example group together the songs that Claudia plays piano on, or if their is a lighting element were songs will work better together?

It's definately a challenge to play the songs not in the same order. I too have a bit of a problem hearing the record on shuffle. I always listen to it from beginning to end. And I really think it's meant to be listened to that way. I'm curious how they are going to do that live. Definately expanded versions of songs, maybe that way they can flow into other songs, like covers or left over stuff, so it wouldn't feel "weird".
You guys have to make sure to remember the setlist for me! I'm really curious what it's going to be!

front to back...in order!

Maybe we'll get one set of the album in order, and then a second set of additional songs, covers, etc.

That would be cool. As I was listened last night, I was wondering how the arrangements will change. Personally, I'd like to hear more strings....I'm a sucker for strings.

but what about "november 5th"?

i didn't say that was the end of the show, any additional tunes should be played before or after the album plays in its' entirety...

Good Morning Boys and Girls.

I see the band lineup list, do we know who will lead on Greg's part in Step Into the Light?

I won't get my way, but you know who I'd like to do it!
