505 is a decent song. Think they should close their main set with it and then A Certain Romance at the end. Here is my ideal setlist:

Do I Wanna Know

Brianstorm

Don't Sit Down

Teddy Picker

Arabella

Crying Lightning

Evil Twin

This House is a Circus

I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor

She's Thunderstorms

Mad Sounds

Fake Tales

Pretty Visitors

R U Mine?

Do Me a Favour

Fluorescent Adolescent

Old Yellow Bricks

Ritz to Rubble

505

Cornerstone

Mardy Bum

Suck it and See

When the Sun Goes Down

A Certain Romance

Would love My Propeller, but can't really see a place for it. Obviously some positioning changes, but those are the basic songs I would love to see.

EDIT: Looking at it, it's far too heavy on FWN at the end.

Think they have stopped closing with it recently and its been featuring midset, saying that, their recent sets have been all over the place with their 20th anniversary coming up

Double post. Shitty internet.

They should try 'That's Where You're Wrong' as at least main set closer. My highlight off SIAS along with the title track

Dance Little Liar (w Josh Homme)

[PDAD]

He's not on this song though?

[dentalplan]

On a few occasions, he has joined them live on stage for it.

[PDAD]

Oh right, my apologies. I must have missed/forgotten that.

Any good Arctics setlist for me would start with Do I Wanna Know? Have a run of Arabella, Pretty Visitors then Dancefloor, as well as This House Is Circus running into If You Were There Beware, finishing on A Certain Romance, and including Dance Little Liar, Still Take You Home and R U Mine?

Do I Wanna Know? into Brianstorm into Dancing Shoes works really well at the beginning, and I like R U Mine? as a main set closer, gets you really worked up for the encore.

[rug568]

Been listening to AM a lot. I really like it. Initially I thought it was poor because it lacked a killer tune that I had not been exposed to before. But taken as a whole album, it is almost perfect. Do I Wanna Know and R U Mine? are both fantastic, and then Arabella and Fireside are particularly strong album tracks. The album has such a cool groove. Who would have thought that the band who released Whatever People Say I Am would end up releasing this. I think it demonstrates Turner's prowess (genius is used too lightly) in song writing is really shown in this album. As the NME said, this is not the peak. They still have plenty more to come. I look forward to what they have yet to produce.

The one disappointment is I Wanna be Yours. I think it is poor for a closing song by the Arctics, especially compare to Certain Romance, 505 and That's Where You're Wrong.

I was having a think today at what would be my ultimate Arctic's setlist (within reason, I didn't include Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts, Nettles or Cigarette Smoker Fiona as they won't play those ever again imo) , so here it is:

Do I Wanna Know?

The View From The Afternoon

Brianstorm

Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair

Still Take You Home

One For The Road

My Propeller

Fake Tales Of San Francisco

Crying Lightning

This House Is A Circus

Arabella

The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala

Dangerous Animals

I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High

Do Me A Favour

Dance Little Liar

Mad Sounds

From The Ritz To The Rubble

Fluorescent Adolescent

Mardy Bum

R U Mine?

When The Sun Goes Down

505

Leave Before The Lights Come On

That's Where You're Wrong

No.1 Party Anthem

A Certain Romance

A few major oldies/rarities in the like From The Ritz To The Rubble and Leave Before The Lights Come On, and some personal favourites such as Dangerous Animals and My Propeller. I personally prefer The View From The Afternoon as an opener, like The Strokes opening with Is This It, I think it's cool starting with track one from their debut, but Do I Wanna Know? has looked great everytime I have seen it open their gigs this year on TV. I definitely think they should go back to having A Certain Romance as the set closer though.

Does anyone know when they stopped playing it? I think 505 into A Certain Romance could work as well.

I love how people are adding songs into the set list which they've dropped years ago.

To save the grief, take their glasto set list, take out about 4 songs and put in new ones and that's what their future set lists will be. I'm sorry but songs they've never really played live aren't just going to magically appear on future set lists.
