No Mardy Bum to open tonight’s show - just straight in to Brianstorm. Wonder if they’re gonna be playing another older song later in the set instead or they’ve just decided to bin off any fan service already.

c**ts.  And I say that as a Sheffielder and life long fan.

They are a tad annoying aren't they.

I guess as arguably already one of the world's biggest acts they don't need to have mad setlist skills, big stage personality/presence and any flourishes live but my GOD they'd be f**king ACES if they did.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see it brought back for Glastonbury tbh, now that it’s somewhat in rotation. Seems like a good way to get the crowd going from the get go, even if what comes after is just a standard set.

Someone is playing silly buggers with the live setlist.

I’ve posted in the Spare Gig tickets thread but I have a spare standing ticket for Manchester on Friday if anyone wants it for Fv £72

I'm not the biggest AM fan so don't know lots of their catalogue but is My Propeller really the one to bring back? 

Sounds very middling to me.

Seems to be a “thing” to do these days. I was watching the Springsteen setlist building up the other day and it was actually quite funny to see what people were posting.

70M streams on Spotify.  3rd highest on the album.  I kind of like it in a sleazy-slinky kind of way, but not a fave by any means.  I guess their fans love it though.

Looks like Mardy Bum is just later in the set this time then. 

Mixed it up a fair bit.

I've gone from finding it quite fun to kinda annoying. Was being done years ago though quite a lot so I'm surprised to see it's still a regular thing.

Clashfinder says 90 mins but I'd have though a headliner of their stature with 7 albums under their belt would be doing 2hrs easy?  The Beths did just over 90 mins in Manchester on Sunday FFS!

They've been doing a 90 mins 18+3 setlist since Suck it and See in 2011. Feels like they're wedded to it as a flow and pattern, but agreed. They've totally got enough material to do a 2hr set.

At the very least I thought they might do one with two encores.

Not that much now it's been corrected....

Listening to the Brizzle setlist as a playlist I think it's missing 3 songs: -

• A Certain Romance
• Hellcat Spangled Shalalala
• I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am

Chuck those in, a tight 2 hours and that is solid gold my friends. (crosses fingers).

Id kill for when the sun goes down but doesn't seem likely. 

Or from the ritz to the rubble.

That Coventry setlist smashed Bristols by including Cornerstone. That run from  Why'd you only call me to Mardy Bum is great.

One thing I was gutted not to get on the 2014 AM Tour was the Knee Socks into My Propeller duo as the transition was very good.

I prefer Pretty Visitors to My Propeller (indeed it's one of my favourite AM tracks full stop) but given that as an album track has been a staple for all bar a few runs here & there since its 2009 release, I can see why they'd wanna give it a rest.

Why on earth are they still bothering with Snap Out Of It?! A complete waste of a slot. 
Oh and Arabella too 😴

Not always been impressed with them live before, but they nailed it at Ashton Gate on Monday. They were up for it and had much more presence than normal. A really great gig from them.

Maybe in isolation, but dropping Mardy Bum (and to a much lesser extent My Propellor) out of the blue was better. Also I've seen Cornerstone a lot more times than Suck it And See.

ANd that's good, because Suck it an see pales in comparison. Their best song between albums FWN and AM for. You could just dismiss Sick It and See for me completely really.

Tell you what those set lists look decent

If they added ritz, sun goes down and a certain romance they’d have themselves a setlist.

90 min set is pathetic for a band their size and when tickets are £75-£80
