Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 175

Why are their sets only 13-14 songs? They have enough material to do a lot more obviously and if they're headlining they're own tour would expect a little more

Curious to see what the setlist looks like for the upcoming tour

 

That's still crazy short to me, but fair game.

 

How amazing was last night? I had no idea what to expect but free food, booze, and rock show was perfection. Did you get your Gorillaz-style profile done by the bathroom?

I was to the right of the stage on the Ashley Home Store riser.

 

They played 18 when I saw them in Atlantic City

 

I didn't, but the whole show was a trip. Give me all of the corporate sponsored shows from here on out.

 

Manchester Orchestra Setlist at HUB-Robeson Center (Alumni Hall), University Park

 

That was basically the setlist they played in Atlantic City

 

I bet we get 17-18 on this tour

 

Did they have two openers though? I feel like 50 cent, 100 dollars and the short acoustic Maze are little halfsies imo.

 

No but we also didn't get maze and fifty cent on ours we got two others

 

A Black Mile To The Surface Elimination: Round 2

 

Round 2 was brutal for the elimination

 

There was only one song that had only 1 vote. I was surprised to see what 3rd, 4th, and 5th place for elimination were. They seemed like popular songs to me among the forum.

Taking out The Mistake and The Parts makes it a LOT more difficult to choose. Those are the low points on the album I think, and can agree with others choices. Mistakes felt a bit...weird with the style and The Parts is gorgeous but I felt like belonged as an Andy solo song. Loved it on the solo tour.

 

I was upset when I saw "The Parts" was gone, but then I was like "Well I probably would've picked that one next anyway"

This is harder than an elimination round with my children

 

Sorry The Maze. I love you, but you gotta go.

 

No way, that was my vote too!

 

YOU STAY AWAY FROM THE MAZE

 

I've seen Manchester Orchestra six times, but only twice as a true headliner. They played 20 songs on the Simple Math tour (six after the encore) and 17 songs right before COPE came out.

I saw Bad Books headline, they played 17 songs.

The rest of the times I saw MO were either as a co-headliner (with Thrice) or three times opening for Brand New.

Even if they were to only play 14-15 songs, they still play for a while due to many of those songs being 5 minutes+ and 1 or 2 getting extended outros/jams (Where Have You Been, I can Barely Breathe)

 

Unfortunately had to cast a vote for The Sunshine this time. I love it, I truly do, but I'm less attached to it on its own than the other songs that remain.

 

SIX SONGS after the encore? I have -never- heard of that from a band

 

time to send The Moth packin

 

Yep.

Manchester Orchestra Setlist at Beachland Ballroom and Tavern, Cleveland

 

Dammit that would have been so good at Beachland. I wasn't into them yet :(

 

Also, not mentioned on that setlist was the band started to play Pensacola, but then stopped because they had never played it live and couldn't play it at the time. This show was the Friday before Simple Math was officially released (back when albums were released on Tuesdays).

 

I wasn't even into music back then
