CONCERTS: DO YOU LIKE KNOWING THE SET LIST BEFOREHAND?
Former rock icon and current curmudgeon Roger Daltrey, lead singer of The Who, has a new pet peeve: He doesn’t like that a band’s set list is published on the internet before the show. Many fans often know most, if not all, of the songs to expect at a concert as a result. Daltrey tells Billboard magazine, “There’s no surprises left with concerts these days, ’cause everybody wants to see the setlist. I’m sick of it.” He says, “The Internet’s ruined the live shows for me. Who wants to know what’s coming next? People forget about surprises. I can’t stand it.”
* Roger, The Who has been playing the same ten songs for the past 20 years. It’s not that big a secret.
* If you’re going to see Psy, is he NOT gonna play “Gangnam Style”? Are The Lumineers NOT going to play the stupid “Hey Ho” song?
* Why can’t they just play a different set list? Would the band have to go to jail?
* I don’t care about the songs. What I want to know before I buy my ticket is how tall the guy in the seat in front of me is.
* [Here is some WACKY BANTER you and your co-host can do. Don’t overplay it.]
