To say that the last four days has been a whirlwind would be the understatement of the century. To be honest, I really don’t know how artists with significant catalogues choose what it is that they’re going to perform on any given tour, especially those that are employing new bands that have had to learn the material from scratch.
In this instance I’ve had some help in the form of not being able to secure certain samples in a timely fashion, notably the loop used during Near Fantastica, which, given the volume of material that we already have, I made the decision to cut from the mater song list yesterday. I realize it’s a fan favourite, so I apologize in advance.
While there is obviously a certain amount of focus being placed on those songs that I’m widely known for, I have also paid particular attention to performing those that are personal favourites. I will also be doing some material acoustically as well.
Anyway, here’s where I’m at with things song wise. I must also say that an immense amount of credit has to be given Stu, Milos, Blake, Pete, and Dean for getting all of this material down in such a short period of time. I don’t think I have ever played with a better band, and I am very excited for the tour.
The following is the master list. During any given show there will be between 16 and 20 songs I would imagine, depending on encores. As a reference, on the last full band tour we routinely performed 16 songs, encore included.

Born Losers

I’m anxious to hear re-interpretations of songs both old and new alike. I understand the amount of material your band needs to learn is challenging enough, but the acoustic rework of “Pledge of Allegiance” at your last show in Vancouver is one of the many lasting memories from your concerts.
For every guy in the back that yells “Hello Time Bomb!”, know that there are ten to twenty people quietly anticipating whatever you’re bringing to the road this time around. Please take care of yourself, your health is paramount.

Lucky folks… I guess he could play the same song 20 times an evening it still would make me happy if he’d just make it over here. When you’re a fan of Matthew Good’s music and living outside North America you become quite decent in terms of song requests and stuff ;oD

Felt it necessary to clarify the last entry. I wasn’t asking for Pledge of Allegiance to be played, but just saying that the re-interpretation in and of itself was the most memorable part. It’s something unique, something special you share with that audience. That’s got tons of heart.

I have no idea how the Bluesfest show in Ottawa works, will you still do a full set? Also, I know that you probably can’t answer this question if the answer is positive, but do you ever listen to the requests of regular commenters that tell you the show they’re going to? I’ve wondered this for years; every post where you discuss live shows seems to spawn dozens of ‘I hope you play _______ when i’m there at the _______ show’.

I totally did this, especially for The Rat Who Would Be King.

Being honest, I am a bit disappointed but totally understand that learning tons of songs from scratch with a new band is only so feasible.
Just a question Matt and I am not complaining here, I am actually just curious: A lot of bands work out songs during soundchecks throughout the tour to play more varied setlists (Pearl Jam and Radiohead come to mind.) Why doesn’t this approach work for you? Can’t wait ’til the London show, less than a month to go!

Since it is a blues festival here in Ottawa, do you think you need to select songs that fall closer to that genre or do you just pick what you want to play? (Forget for a moment that Donna Summer and Fergie are playing also.)
For example, since Blue Skies has the word ‘Blue’ in it, you have to play that one in Ottawa. And since ‘Black’ goes with ‘Blue’, Black Helicopter needs to be on the list also. Haven’t figured out an argument for X-Wing, but I’ll think of something.

So the question is, do I be all brave and go by myself to the Vancouver show with a decent seat? Is there going to be anybody else there alone!? Or do I take the two in the baaack L balcony and offer an 18 y/o blonde and a 25 y/o redhead willing to sit on the laps of anybody with better seats than us?

i could easily list a couple cuts that i’d really like to hear live on this tour…but when every one is fucking amazing, well, why bother…there’s still at least 5 or 6 tunes on the master list yhat will leave me weeping in a twisted displaced nostalgia that isn’t even mine…like you wrote them all for me…i’ll stand behind you as long as you are ther to stand behind…a paradigm of bravery…and let’s not forget talent and passion with a little ‘fuck you’ for added flavor…i’ll shut up now…
PeaceLoveandUnderstanding…it’s not funny at all.
